June 14, 200619 yr The bullpen has been a lot better since Cliff went down (June 5th). 21.1 IP, 13 H, 4 ER, 4 BB, 19 K, 2 Wins, 4 Saves, 1.70 ERA.* *These are stats I compiled. They may not be 100% accurate, but are close.

My Avatar is one of the funniest pictures I have ever seen. It is the perfect picture to show how much of a tool that guy is.
June 14, 200619 yr I agree, I've been sitting here laughing for about 5 minutes. I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face knowing I was gonna look like that.

They may not be 100% accurate, but are close. Thanks for doing the research on this. I was saying earlier that since Nelson and Politte went down, the pen has quietly been doing their jobs. The nice thing is that it has been spread around to everyone basically doing solid work out there too. I love Bmac getting used like Scot Shields for Anaheim has been for years now, and so far Montero has been solid as well.

That comfort builds confidence. Cotts - 7th Bmac - 8th Jenks - 9th

June 14, 200619 yr QUOTE(steve @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 12:29 PM) I worked with him for a short time, he is a mega-uber-tool in person too! I saw him outside the park one day on 35th on his cell phone. You could just tell the guy was a tool. Oh yeah, he looks like crap in person.

Cotts - 7th Bmac - 8th Jenks - 9th Gotta agree here. Another thing is Bmac is being used pretty regularly now which wasn't happening before and he was getting hit hard. Now that he's getting regular work, he's pitching much, much better.

Now that he's getting regular work, he's pitching much, much better. BMAC would be great as the Shields role. He has 4 solid pitches that he can throw for strikes. Last night he really didnt even have to use his out pitch.
June 14, 200619 yr QUOTE(steve @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 12:29 PM) I worked with him for a short time, he is a mega-uber-tool in person too! Is this Steve Rosenbloom?
June 14, 200619 yr B-Mac is being used regularly, the suckfests of Nelson and Politte are gone, Montero has been pretty good when he's in, and most important is the split: 21.1 IP, 19 k's, 4 walks. If you strikeout nearly 1 per inning, and only walk 1 per 6 or 7 innings, success will follow.
June 15, 200619 yr QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 02:31 PM) Is this Steve Rosenbloom? No, LOL. I worked with him at One on One Sports back in the day (remember THAT name?!). He b****ed like a baby about everything. QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 02:31 PM) Is this Steve Rosenbloom? No, LOL.

June 15, 200619 yr 2...2....2 quotes and responses in 1!! I'm pretty sure Montero didn't help the pen out too much today...

June 15, 200619 yr QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 01:33 PM) This bullpen looks a lot better with Riske in it. Assumng CP is ok in a week as expected, we have: BAMFBJ Cotts B-Mac Thornton Riske Politte (a healthier one with better stuff hopefully) As long as Politte and Riske stay healthy and just do around what they are capable of, that pen is actually pretty decent.
