Not gonna lie, I'm beginning to get a tiny bit concerned about our bullpen...

 

It was impossible to do what they did through May all year long. The problem is still the offense making almost every game be on the backs of the pen so that one run given up here or there seems like a big deal.

[MrTPlush]

The bullpen is good. Yah they weren’t going to be like the first two months forever...but this team gets “meh” really fast when you take out the insane bullpen and put in a more realistic one.

I think the Jeffress to the ASG can be put to rest.

 

His numbers are still totally deserving. More than deserving. He most likely won't make it but his resume is still plenty good enough.

[Lee16]

Yeah, I didn't expect them to be lights out all year, I guess I'm just hoping that Counsell doesn't burn them out. We don't seem to like to let our starters ever go more than 90 pitches or so it seems.

If we take our good bullpen and burn it out (which I sadly find a wee bit too likely) this team is going to go from really fun to watch to not even wanting to turn it on.

[AKCheesehead]

So...Santana to RF as defensive replacement after this?

Burn them out? If anything I will say they aren't sharp because they havent been pitching enough.

[jason21nl]

This has the feel of a heartbreak

[jerichoholicninja]

Bullpen won't have many leads to hold unless the offense is improved.

[adambr2]

Not even mad at the pen. Mad at an offense that can't do any little things right and craps on the field every night if they don't get production out of the same 4-5 guys on a daily basis.

[markedman5]

Offense just couldn't give the the bullpen a break.

[pacopete4]

Arcia is showing signs of coming out of it. Hitting it with a bit more authority.

Impossible, he doesn't care if he gets better.

C'mon Knebel. No whammy no whammy no whammy

[Eye Black]

Down 3-0 to Polanco with Mercer on deck. Playing with fire.

[TURBO]

Oh man, I can't watch...

[adambr2]

Corey lucky Mercer was taking all the way first pitch. Couldn't have served up a more meat fastball.

[jason21nl]

Stop worrying about the damn runner

[MrTPlush]

Stop worrying about the damn runner

 

The first pitchout is fine...the second, unacceptable in my opinion. Why go down 2-1?

[jason21nl]

There ya go!

[TooLiveBrew]

PHEW

[markedman5]

Big win

[FVBrewerFan]

Woooooo
