Richie Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I blame myself. I made my first post on this forum precisely at the moment Leury doubled in Davidson to make it 7-3. It was all downhill from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScootsMcGoots Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 This game is going to be a big test for this team. How are they going to come back from a debilitating and embarrassing loss such as this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 How about this idea...fewer bullpen pitchers and more tandem starts. If a starter is only going 5, have somebody behind him that can go 2-3 innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) Hopefully Burdi comes back at some point and has no complications. I would imagine Fulmer eventually becomes a reliever. Jones is still around unless they trade him. They have some interesting pieces that if they bomb out as starters maybe they can become really good at getting 3 outs. Maybe they can sign a couple of guys, but they almost emptied it out last year. Edited April 6, 2018 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Obviously this game is bad, but it’s what happens when a bunch of young players press for a win. Tim didn’t step off because he’s an idiot, he stepped off because he was trying to keep game time even though it was futile. Leury wasn’t trying to be cool, he was trying to end the game. It sucks. But this is what will happen. Let’s chill a bit. Seems like people thought we’d be in playoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 07:04 PM) I have to disagree. We are in bad shape because we have a s***ty bullpen, plain and simple. If we lost because of young guys who are our future are learning, that'd be fine. I don't disagree but my response was to the question I responded to. Saying the bullpen sucks is redundant. Most people on this site knew it was going to be bad this year so I'm not at all surprised. Get ready for more of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Avilan, Soria and Jones should stay, but move Jones to the closers role. EVERY ONE else send down and callup new people though after his last two games I'd like D-Farq stick around with a short leash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right. It is pretty cold out, though. Easy to say it was the elements. Poor Leury though. He's the goat. QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 6, 2018 -> 01:10 AM) So....what was the point of this pen that Rick assembled? Demoralizing the team as much as possible? I think it was to keep the tank alive one more year. The common thought in sports is if you can't win, might as well lose as many as possible. It's been a popular thing the past couple years obviously. Cubs, Astros, Sixers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 If we're picking in the top 5 something went terribly wrong....this bullpen might be a good start. Some of these guys should seriously not be in the majors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
