I had a nightmare that robin came back in 2017 to manage. Would not shock me if jr bought him back.

Bullpen band of misfit toys

Blow. It. Up.

I believe the fanbase is to the point with this team that we'd be disappointed if there wasn't a sell-off of several players

No chance

Too late to get fair market value. Let's try a new manager and staff.

 

For what, Albers? Yeah, he won't fetch much.

 

If you're talking about Sale / Q, that's bogus. Nothing has budged there.

Man that looked like a strike on 2-0.

See above post.

 

Is that going to make Matt Albers a good pitcher? Bring back Abreau's power? Etc.?

 

Robin is awful and needs to go but this bullpen as constructed blows.

What!? Lol

 

With some people here there is just never a good time to sell anyone. Always some excuse

1000%

I do agree with greg that Robin should not manage another game, sell or no.

So many holes to fill every offseason. Every year you miss one when you don't have a bountiful farm system.

What is the bullpen ERA since the infamous Texas meltdown? It has to be the highest in baseball.

This is just asking the baseball gods to hit the ball hard right at somebody. Only possible way to get out of the inning. We're not getting any more outs without help from the baseball gods.

 

Get one more and win it in the ninth.

If it goes extras i'm turning it off. I know what will happen.

And let's not kid ourselves. We're the fanbase. Outside of these games, we're the only ones watching. Bad is bad. The average fan wants winners, and we're losers every year and we retry every year.

After reading Sale's story, Ventura should be long gone. Sale got screwed by Ventura and Cooper.

You flip worse than Caulfield

Most of us agree, but it's all in vain.

I called for the purge a month ago. I can see our team blows but highly paid execs can't.

There is no baseball god, so good luck with that.

I don't know about that. Veeck might make it happen up in heaven for us.

This game is gonna go another six or seven innings before we lose because thats how we do

Cause the story makes it look like they flat out ignored the request of Sale days, if not longer in advance. Did he handle it well? Hell no, but he has a point

QUOTE (harkness @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 10:17 PM)
Well half the bullpen is injured also... I mean Hahn has whiffed a lot also don't get me wrong..

 

And Sale's act destroyed this pen for this week.

Okay, now let's score a run and go to bed happy!
