Even this bullpen couldn't possibly blow a 6 run lead with 3 innings left.


Yet again.

Is Kranick still on the roster?

Dion is amazing.   Zero reason for him not to be closing

he can give you multiple innings. I.kind of like his flexibility.

I think separate because some were completely empty and dark.
