This crap ain't funny.

So many bums in this pen.

Now that was just plain old flaccid.

12 runs is the record, is that what you guys said..... well, if any bullpen has what it takes...

RobDibblesGhost · « **Reply #180:** May 29, 2019, 09:56:10 PM »

This game is gonna be much closer than any of us would like.

Lulz this bullpen

Might as well start warming up Doolittle.

Nothing is ever easy with these guys

Davey should just pitch.

bluestreak · « **Reply #185:** May 29, 2019, 10:01:15 PM »

The 8th is when it really gets interesting.

nfotiu · « **Reply #186:** May 29, 2019, 10:02:10 PM »

We're still good with a slam each inning.... so that should be good enough?!?

Elvir Ovcina · « **Reply #187:** May 29, 2019, 10:02:46 PM »

Pete Medhurst as Jageler isn't working well. Just got the score wrong.

Slateman · « **Reply #188:** May 29, 2019, 10:05:04 PM »

McGowin is worthless

bluestreak · « **Reply #189:** May 29, 2019, 10:06:13 PM »

Seriously, what would happen if they gave everyone in the bullpen not named Doolittle their outright release and replaced them with replacement level players? It would be better than this, no?

Ali the Baseball Cat · « **Reply #190:** May 29, 2019, 10:06:30 PM »

Potential emergency protein. otherwise yes.

I think we're still recovering from giving all those replacement and replacement+ bullpens their release last year for somehow killing the team's chemistry. Finding 3-4 replacement late inning relievers isn't as easy as it sounds and that's the problem.

Replacement level players are, by definition, easy to find.

He's usually hrumphin' about how difficult it is. I guess 14 runs scratches that 3 X 5 card.

Elvir Ovcina · « **Reply #196:** May 29, 2019, 10:18:59 PM »

Let McGowin finish. What this game needs is a save.

Does that follow to relief pitchers? Where do you find a bunch of relievers that are capable of being above water WAR? Doolittle is our only one at the moment.
