I for one am sick of this bullpen blowing games....that stops tonight

 

How good is DeGrom man.

2 hit shutout 15 Ks 2-4 with an rbi

hit 101 in the first inning with a 94 mph slider lol how?

No idea what Holt was looking for there, because it looks to me, Foster is throwing absolute garbage.

0-10 with RISP this year 

Gotta say, you know something negative about every player regardless of how great they are and I respect that about you lol

Vs a lefty too. Gotta start taking the balls again. 1 bb would be nice lol and we know I'm the biggest ta guy around 

Someone pointed out to me how bad he’s been with RISP during his career.  As someone that’s seen nearly every game he’s played in, I never realized it.

That’s just awful by Foster

He didn’t even threw anywhere near this hard when he came up and the first couple of years in the league. I‘m not saying something fishy is going on, but how often do guys add 4mph  to their fastball in their late 20‘s?

How has every bullpen option regressed from last season? 
 

Mind boggling.

That really surprises me.

Bummer is up. Does TLR think this is a 7 inning game?

Needs to cal up crede and ask him how it's done. Joe would be In the hof if he only came up in big spots

Yay more walks!

Don’t forget many of them were fading at the end of a 60 game season. If the season went 162, who knows how many of these guys would thought of in the same light.

So I haven't read through this thread but I have to ask, does anyone know what cerebral pussy is?  I have a few ideas but I am not sure.  It definitely sounds like a trap / something I don't want to be involved with.

He’s been doing it for awhile now, gotta think he would’ve been caught now.

I know I heard that he added the velocity from tinkering with his mechanics.

To be fair to deGrom, he was a shortstop in college.  He has been learning as he goes along.

Yes, yes, we should totally walk both the 8th AND 9th hitters...

Crede late in a close game...you could tie him but not beat him in a Sox uniform in those situations. So many clutch home runs late.

Missed location on every fastball in that AB.  Lucky that hitter isn’t good

Well, if Tony was going for 'use all of my bad bullpen arms not named Ruiz', he nailed it tonight, with Bummer on the way.

Grandal just stole that out. I am not afraid to say it 

I'm still a matt foster Stan. Poor man Keith foulk maybe

I am so confused with this bullpen management

Even if we win this game it's more of an indictment on this team.
