If only they just never drafted Madrigal

This bullpen is a huge disappointment.

Which is why he will be trade bait in a few months

They weren't the Pirates for the first few months of the season. He was easily the best reliever in baseball before the trade.

have you seen how terrible the minor league depth is at the moment? He'll be gone once Grandal returns and will be gone this offseason.

But...but...he had a deep fly out

he was also their closer, not pitching in the 8th inning. Not sure why it's so hard to understand why he might be struggling more than usual. Just look at his velocity.

So overmatched on high fastballs

he will, he'll just blame it on his role. I know for a fact he doesn't want to be a set-up man.

yes and then trading him

you mean besides adding Vaughn

you have to be an idiot to think they're keeping Kimbrel next year

Boone's done a great job with his bullpen here.

Shocker...OPS near .250 against LHP now this year.

Arguably the worst hitter in baseball against LHP this year.

Goodwin facing another lefty? You have to be kidding me

maybe the Sox don't think they traded much for him?

Right now he's on anything on the outer half. If he's going to beat Kimbrel, it has to be on the curve.

because they took a career closer (who was adamant a few years ago about staying a closer) and are trying to make him a set-up man.

Collins or the person calling the pitches is a fucking moron

Why in the living hell do you throw him another fastball? Also Kimbrel sucks in the 8th.

Hopefully he views this as a save situation

I'm sure I will get blasted for this but I would absolutely be willing to trade him this offseason. Contract is about to get huge.

Such a weak swing. Team has been horrible with RISP tonight

I'm beginning to worry that you're me in an alternate timeline of my life
