Bad Varland can implode in no time flat.

12 pitches 5 strikes, one was a homer and 2 were BS calls

Varland sucks.   Doesn’t throw strikes, doesn’t have a legit pitch

Sigh. This is getting ridiculous. Toboni is going to have to do something.

Sorry but the entire pen needs to be sent down or dfad sick of this lack of performance from this part
Of the team.

With a half decent pen this team would
Be a shoe in for the post season . Disgusting what the team allows these guys to do

Mathews whispered some magic stuff to Varland. Has he thrown a ball  since the mound visit?

Caught a break, pitch 6" over the strike zone but a futile swing, and he has a save.   :D

Remember the ball Nunez botched last night by side-saddling it  trying to catch it? Learned his lesson tonight

How do we piece together the bullpen tomorrow?   Parker and Poulin definitely available.

They were warming up Beeter even though they didn't want to use him.  I guess he could be available, but not desirable.

thinking  we may see a move to bring up an  arm from Rochester. Palmquist is a lefty and available. Granillo?

Ribalta only threw 14 pitches so he should be available.

Aroldis would be a nice addition to the ballclub
