Snopek 247 Posted August 26, 2021 10 minutes ago, Quin said: why the fuck does Tony always wait to pull pitchers that are getting lit up What? TLR got so much shit for pulling Kopech early the other day. Kinda hard to manage a bullpen when no one can get outs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They’re also hitting like they knew what was coming last inning. I think Kopech may be tipping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is all on the most overrated bullpen I’ve ever seen. someone ( I think Rick Sutcliffe?) called one of those bullpens circa 2007ish the best he had ever seen ....and it was horrible . Like Andy Sisco, mike macdougal , boone logan etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beckham agrees - the pitch to Semien aside, some of those sliders weren't bad pitches. Every one got hit hard somewhere with 2 strikes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
