The problem is we haven’t had a single bullpen callup show even flashes of looking like a good reliever.

 

If Burdi didn't get injured last year, not a doubt in my mind he would've been the first to fit that statement.

Infante is terribad.

just lose already.

This game is a slog.

No

 

Looks like it to me

Semantics. This is more of a "development" year than a "tank" year.

I can buy that. I was calling for signing some good relievers in the offseason BTW. I don't like another "development year" or tank year but it is what it is. Very high draft pick this year and another in May of 2019 seems to be in the cards.

It's recency bias

If Anderson, Yolmer and Davidson are all legit...we’ll be fine.

 

Just have to weather the Soria rants until he’s gone.

Infante doesn't want that free out.

Development year is exactly what it is. There's alot of youth on the roster.

I don't even think Soria is that bad, he's just pitching in a role that doesn't suit him. He's more of a MRP guy at this point

How many two strike hits can this crappy roster allow

I mean, he's pretty bad.

So bad. Really hoping some of these guys turn into trade chips, but I think it will just be Jones

30 minutes ago we were going to be tied for first...

I’d mark this one down as a game where Ricky’s guys kinda quit (and Ricky too).

I mean, he's pretty bad.

The defense definitely didnt help today

Infante... not good.

Dude, we are more in the mode of trading pen guys if they get good than acquiring them at this point. We arent there yet

Infante is kinda trashy

Infante was basically minimum MLB competence last year but he has looked...not even up to that low bar this year.

 

Infante is not good.

Bummer.

Maybe they can pack up Infante's locker, while he is still on the mound.

I'm not sure how I see that one. We rolled with our best end of game bullpen configuration with a 4 run lead and gave up the lead anyway.
