f*** this bullpen rick hahn. For all the good you've done in rejuvinating this team with fun offensive players, you screwed the pooch on the pen.

Dude. The sooner you remember we are rebuilding the better you'll feel.

nice effort, adam

Hopefully someone asks him when he's going to develop another quality pitcher on the roster after Sale and Quintana. It's been a while.

We traded him bro

As much as I like Nate Jones, he's been a shaky reliever for the most part, with periods of dominance peppered with periods of incompetence. Would he help? Sure, but you can't throw him out there every day.

Even with his awful start last season, he was one of the most valuable relievers in baseball

Red Sox fans are annoying. Why are there so many in the Cell? Seems like a series Sox shoulda won 2 or 3 not just one. Maybe it's just me thinking that.

 

At least they show up

That was quick

Alexei!!!

Yeah, the last two games of this series hurt, as it was a chance to build some nice momentum. However, at least E. Johnson pitched a great game in this series. The disappointing thing, outside of the bullpen, is that all of the new hitters we brought into the system are struggling right now.

Well at least Alexei kept it going.

jose abreu doing a solid hitting joyce.

Armando Abreu

Man it pisses me off when I hear so many fans cheer for the opposing teams at the Cell. GTFOH.

that is how to get even with Joyce

But the rebuilding parts are doing much better than expected. Bullpen has veterans and is the area we spent money on this year. It wouldn't be so frustrating if the rebuilding parts were the one struggling.

There are so many positives with this young team. But they will struggle and we are already missing a big piece.

 

It's ok to get caught up and frustrated. However don't forget this isn't our year.

Abreu killing some worms of late. What a pathetic hitting series by both teams.

Another wasted effort.

They aren't struggling? Avi's injury is such a downer though.

Meh 8-8 I'll take it. At least we're not the cubs. Night guys! Good job Alexei

We will add up to 40 million in payroll by the time we contend. That's a lot of dough.

They aren't the Astros.

Can't get mad anymore. Pen is horrible. It'll get fixed eventually. Getting mad won't make it better

They aren't the Astros.

We aren't contending in 2014. That's a fact.

Any ideas who they might target in the offseason? I know it's really early

I know BABIP is not a final arbiter or anything but Abreu's is right around .225

 

Better times are ahead.
