Watching the games, I would agree. The bullpen metrics aren't bad though, while the starters are comically awful.

outside of Rondon, this starting staff makes the bullpen look like the Nasty Boys.

If the big name guys flame out, the rebuild will almost certainly fail regardless of how the low to mid-level guys do (not saying Cease isn't high-level). Reason being almost all teams have guys like Rivera or Hamilton or Basabe. To be a contender, you need difference makers and that's what Yoan, Eloy and Kopech need to be.

I'm sure Hahn would be allowed to do that as well

Let Davidson pitch (seems we've had a chance at this like 5 times over last 2 weeks)

Made up 1.5 games on them of late

Rondon ERA is 8.49 now. Amazing he's been on the roster almost to the ASG.

This inning might be rock bottom. So many players on this roster this shouldn't be on anyone's 25 man roster.

Shameful that he's still with the organization. Poor Jace, that's 8 runs now in last 3 innings.

You mean two weeks ago

Holy shit is Omar a butcher behind the plate. And how the hell has Bruce not been DFA? This organization makes really bad decisions.

Poor Jace, real rough stretch for him.

Ricky continues to leave a starter in to start an inning when there was no reason to.

Yes and if you notice he did an awful job at getting behind the ball. Of course, he was probably nervous about catching it.

Like Covey Great relay there

16 of last 21 batters to face Covey for a 2nd time have reached base

Maybe he can be a reliever if he keeps struggling and throw that sinker even harder. Amazing how awful his numbers are on the season.

Covey getting killed 2nd time thru the order, just like last game.

Yoan has got to have a better plan than that at the plate. This guy isn't going to walk him.

Madrigal deal with a hamstring issue. Begs the question of why the hell was he playing last week? https://mobile.twitter.com/JRFegan/status/1016792771036884992

Nah this was someone quoting a Sox reporter. That doesn't seem like their posting style

This all but eliminates the chances of him getting traded. I'm not too upset with that, as who knows maybe he is healthy next year and puts everything together.

Absolutely, but there are a ton of LHP in the NL West

Well if he keeps hitting homers he can jog more.

Wasn't it you who was saying this a week ago, regarding how bad his legs were?
