Up to about 30 thousand feet as it turns out. On his way to NYC.

According to WTOP Joe Ross is in the house, ready to go.

Put him on the first thing smoking out of CA.

Somebody listened....Ross is heading east to help in the pen.

We'll see. Ross has never pitched out of the pen regularly

We dont have one guy who can be counted on in the pen.

Grace sucks. He needs to be sent down. Vidal Nuno needs a shot as a lefty.

Rosenthal is done. Bring up Scott Copeland.

Rosenthal is our new Henry Rodriguez.

What role does Lilliquist play in this?  Does he add any value whatsoever?

Good question. Someone has to get the axe.

Rizzo with a bullpen is like McPhee with defensemen. They both have no clue in those respective areas.

Need a new GM to maximize the talent on the rest of the roster.

There are a few dumpster fire bullpens this year. It will be a bidding war for whoever's available.

Right now, I wonder if we could waive Rosenthal off the 40 man. I don't think he would be claimed. Then, we can outright him or he loses his contract.

Trade him for nothing. Someone will take a chance on a guy throwing triple digits

Trade MAT with him and restructure Zimmerman

Sign Kimbrel

Move forward.

Well after a hit batter, walk and a homer it appears Ross isn’t the answer.....never mind.

Pretty sure even Rodriguez got an out every once in a while.

If the pen performed like tonight on most nights, I'd say go all in on Kimbrel or trade Keiboom

Sure you can. Particularly if you have any interest in winning this year.

He ain't replacing Rendon. People need to get over it. He's Todd Frazier 2.0. Nice, but never going to be top 10 in baseball

I am not saying he will replace Rendon, and I'm not a fan of resigning Rendon. Gosh - we might have to go out and get someone else. Before you ask - I'm not a scout, they need to find someone.

Kieboom is like Turner. You have what should be a slam dunk entity (unlike how we got lucky with Soto).

Keiboom is nothing like Turner. Turner wasnt even a slam dunk but he was rated far higher than Keiboom.

You can think about moving Keiboom and trying to win, or watch Rendon wall, and fade into obscurity with three other albatross contracts weighing the team down, and when the time comes, Turner and Keiboom will walk too, because they're not interested in 95+ loss seasons.

Agree to disagree broheim.

My biggest problem with Rendon is the perceived "it's all good, no worries" attitude.
