caulfield12 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Obviously, I'm being hyperbolic, but Jennings, Putnam, Petricka, Duke and Albers wouldn't exactly be highly coveted at the moment. For the last ten days, we've had far and away the worst bullpen in the majors. http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/cincinn...s-rumors-051816 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) I was talking about BULLPENS. "The Reds may have the worst bullpen in the history of the world." That was the quote. Geez. Before I get bombarded with bullpen stats, yes, I just cited an article that argued the Reds were on the way to being one of the worst bullpens in the history of baseball.

Yes, Jennings was great in the Rangers' game (the double play ball was a bit lucky but better lucky than good)...he's been MUCH better than Zach Duke and should probably start taking some of those 7th and 8th inning opportunities against left-hand batters if Duke keeps giving up key hits in those situations. That said, we don't have many true power arms that will line up with some of the better teams' pens, other than Nate Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Even with this streak, the White Sox are still 4th in all of baseball and first in the AL in bullpen ERA. The Cincy pen ERA is 5.55 versus 3.21 for the White Sox. Yes they have had a bad streak, but to equate the two pens, even without Robertson is hyperbole at best.

greg775 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Well it's time to get our first look at KC. Team has not resembled last year's team at all. Lot of errors. Pretty raunchy pitching staff. It would be very disappointing to get swept by KC (since Sale not pitching). Winning one would be a bummer considering the hacks they are pitching. I'd love to get 2 or 3 but Hosmer is still Hosmer and frankly he'll probably account for one of the three games by himself. Cain is still there and Salvy and they are White Sox killers. I'd say KC wins two or three of the three. I am hopeful after those 2 series against them last year when we finally got our act together vs. KC.

caulfield12 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Rain should be ending in Boston around 2 p.m. Looks promising for them to get the game in at some point. Otherwise, they should let Johnson start against Salazar and put all their effort/s into gaining a split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) At least you guys have a #1 or #2 draft pick to look forward to next year. Thanks for beating the Indians 4/6 and keeping the White Sox in the race, at least for now. Yeah, nice to see even the Mariners and Red Sox can blow games in ugly fashion, too. White Sox had a triple play (first of two this year) very reminiscent of the double play there to end the game.
