That is also below the Maldonado line equivalent of 10% of runners.

Cubs bullpen is awful as well. Chicago malady this season.

Maldonado up to .090, almost reaching the 0.100 Maldonado line. Still he looks more like a football lineman than a baseball player. He must be pushing 275 lbs.

Our relievers are prone to giving up walks and homers, not good for their trade.

And paired up with Gordo was even more painful to hear.

Vaughn at first is not too much to talk home about either. I believe he is also too short for a 1B. He could not grab a high chopper at first tonight.

Our horrid bullpen has been throwing our starters under the bus in most of the games.

Grifol is tone deaf and incompetent.

Don’t forget our other three tool player, Maldonado; slow, slower and Slowest.

Maybe then you should resign .

Montoyo is another invisible bench coach like Cairo in the past.

They seem to be unable to hit the other way to bring runners in from 3 rd on less than two outs. Guys keep hitting ground balls to third base not driving the run from third, or striking out or popping out. This team is bad, and bad things are happening in every game, and no changes are being made.

Need to bring in a septic tank cleaning truck to pump out our bullpen, and throw in both Getz and Grifol in the mix too. This will clear some of the stink out of the team now. ??

I would be glad to pay for Grifol one way Greyhound or Amtrak ticket to KC if he is canned.

Bad defense, bad base running, bad clutch hitting, bad bullpen didn’t help Thorpe’s outcome. The team has been terrible, it’s painful to watch. Let’s just Be a spoiler the rest of the season. Need to shake the tree, fire Grifol first of all.

You can’t teach old dogs new tricks. Same old same old.

As I have said before our bullpen is a septic tank.

If Grifol finishes the season employed is because JR does not want to pay for2 managers IMO.

And do you allow Maldonado and his .072 hit in a tied game with bases loaded and 2 out. Grifol is so bad is pitiful.

Their defense is pretty bad.

Nastrini and Maldonado combo does not meet that description.

Sorry guys about raining on your parade, but I am not Hahn’s or Getz’ secret account. I just though we will need to bring in a reliever sooner or later. We are currently throwing under the bus our better starting pitchers. Our bullpen now is a septic tank.

Next trade needs to include a proven, ready to go, major league reliever coming to the Sox. If you can throw in Grifol in the trade for free would be great too. OUR BULLPEN HAS BEEN ATROCIOUS AND UNABLE TO HOLD A LEAD, and is our most important need today. Grifol mismanagement has not helped either.

Will only feel good if it leads to Grifol’s firing.

Maldonado defense has not been that stellar either. You could carry a weak hitting catcher, if you had a good team, not with this s%*# show. We need all the hitting we can get averaging less than 3 runs a game.
