Score 9 runs. Pen gives up 6th in the 8th and 9th inning. You can't make this stuff up.

Bourque? Nerves, or just no control (threw only 12 strikes out of 29 pitches)? Nibbling like crazy with the off-speed stuff; doesn't appear he trusts those pitches.

After 6 ER in 4 IP today, it'll be 126 ER in 158 1/3 innings, or 7.16.

In what is a truly amazing stat, they've thrown the fewest innings of any major league bullpen but have given up the second-most runs.

And of those 12 strikes, at least half of those were pitches out of the strike-zone that Marlin hitters swung at. So i’m thinking it was more like 6 strikes out of 29 pitches.
Bourque was CERTAINLY NERVOUS. He also came across as an unprofessional nut case!!!!!!!! WTH???!!!

Geesh!!!  :crazy:

This is truly amazing from a team with a 200 million dollar payroll.

Guerra pitched the 7th and 8th. Gave up one hit in the 7th and almost gave up some runs when Soto made a great catch in left. He looked bad in the 8th. He is not the answer to our BP woes. He will be gone before August.

Correction: they only had 152 1/3 coming into yesterday, not 154 1/3.  So it's actually 7.25.

Guerra is fine, but he probably isnt used to working multiple innings.

I liked the quote (know I saw it somewhere) that Bourque had a ML debut "only a mother (parents had driven straight from Michigan) could love."

Bourque walked six batters in over 20 IP in Double A. Let's give him a little more time before discarding him

I hate this guy from when he was in Detroit. Signing him will be what makes me switch my fandom to the O’s.
