I missed first 4 innings, but looking at the velocity numbers for Lopez tells me he needs to be out of the rotation.

We really need to see what he looks like coming out the pen, so we can make a decision on  if he should return next year.  Same applies to Rodon assuming he actually comes back at some point.

I really don’t think it’s there. He used to be able to hit 97-98 in the first few innings. He’s not even close to that now.

Foster always work this slow?

Stoney even mentioned in warmups he was only hitting 91 which is abnormal for him

Foster doesn’t have any zip on these pitches

No I don’t think he’s got his stuff today. Grinding through the last inning and a third

I honestly think that’s him slowing things down in hopes of commanding his fastball better.

Foster was fighting himself last inning, yet crickets in the bullpen 

Gift lol

This is the thing thats infuriating with Ricky. If we can see it he surely can. And it’s a tie game....

Ricky does it again man

Damnit.

Awful, what terrible pitch selection. We can all see he has nothing, but Ricky and Cooper are asleep

Fucking A

And yet he’s still in

Who didn't see that coming?

 

Why in the hell was he still in the game, nothing was close.

...oh RR

Steve Stone called this HR again lol
 

The super fun happy ball giveth and the super fun happy ball taketh away.

Get him out of there

I think he decided before the game that Foster was going 2 innings, and so come hell or homeruns, Matt Foster was going 2 innings

Mother fucker! Terrible location on 0-2 pitch.

Is Ricky the worst bullpen manager in the game? Even I could tell Foster didn't have his good stuff last inning

Renteria has managed this bullpen horribly tonight.
