Re: 4/23 - 5/6 Game Discussion Thread

I hate hate hate our bullpen so much. We are finally a decent team and this pile of AAA rejects is just a dumpster fire. I came into this series thinking I would be disappointed if we don’t take 2-3...off to a great start.

There is a reason I was pumping the brakes early on. Bullpen is garbage and the offense is playing above their talent level at the moment. I'll be surprised if this team finishes above .500.

I wouldn’t go that far. The offense will be solid, especially after Acuna comes up, and the starting pitching will continue to get better. It’s just the bullpen that’s utter trash...

I swear...where do we find these guys?

Sam Freeman needs to keep walking through the dugout, to the airport, and to wherever the AAA team is playing right now.

A major league reliever shouldn't have this stat line over his last 5 appearances

7 Walks

I imagine that somewhere Justin Wilson is nodding.

The stink of Jim Johnson remains....I think the bullpen needs an exorcist.

Is the offense playing above their head? Counting on Flaherty & Tucker to continue their hot streak for the season is unlikely. Neither of those guys is going to start at their positions for the rest of the season though. Also, the offense is doing all of this without either Inciarte or Freeman really going.

The bullpen is garbage, but I can't dismiss that the team is over .500 so far against last year's playoff's teams and 6-3 against the 2 teams leading the division so far.

It's 1 game, just like the debacle in Chicago was 1 game. The next week or so will tell us a lot about this team as we finish out April, and have a full month of games to look at.

So...are we banning him for this blatant nonsense? 80 games? The season? Either seems fair, tbh. He's supposed to be a role model, and he's just doing this sort of thing right out in the open.

Jesus Christ the Rockies suck at home. It seems like every damn home game, they have at least one inning where they give up a **** ton of runs with two outs in the inning. They got off to an amazing start giving up 4 runs in the first inning.

Now onto the **** show that is this 7th inning. Rockies led 5-4 coming into the 7th. Padres got a one out two run home run to make it 6-5, followed by the Rockies getting the second out on a fielder's choice tag out at home.

SINCE that second out, the Padres have racked up 7 runs on a single, a walk, a single , a walk, a single, a pitching change, an infield single, a double and a walk. ALL OF THAT with two ******* outs!

That **** show just finally came to a merciful end. It took around 45 minutes and 66 pitches between three pitchers JUST for the top of the damn 7th inning.

Going into the top of the 7th, the Rockies led 5-4. Coming into the bottom of the 7th, the Rockies trail 13-5. Facepalm.

Well, Astros sure have unleashed the Gerrit Cole we have been waiting for since he came up to the majors. That plus "fixing" Verlander right away last year plus sustaining his level of play just makes me tip my hat to the 'stros front office.

Whatever is the Astros organizational pitching philosophy, I want to unlock that code.

Their work with Charlie Morton is sensational enough.

Yankees have won 3 in a row and are looking better. The YES announcers at least somewhat contributed it to the change in weather.

Re: 4/23 - 5/6 Game Discussion Thread

I don't know which one it is, but I've come to not stand the Yankee announcer that stretches out his S on the home run call. "Sssssssssee you later!"

Michael Kay. My least favorite part of watching a Yankees game on YES. Can't stand the guy.


And it's "Sssseee Ya!"

This year's Phillies = last year's Brewers?

Shocking how the Kapler narrative has completely vanished because they're winning some games.

Winning is the cure all.

Let them blow a game in the later innings due to questionable managerial decisions and the narrative will pick up where it left off.
