I mean, not really -- but man. There were signs at the end of last year that a lot of these bullpen guys weren’t nearly as good as they have looked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmmmmbeeer Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Eh, whatever. Not happy and there are obviously problems with this team's approach, both in the batter's box and in the pen. That said, tomorrow is the last game of this absolutely BRUTAL August schedule and we get to head back home on Friday. These guys are pros, just gotta hope they can figure it out. There's simply too much talent on this roster and too many good outings from our SP to be under .500 since the break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Deep Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 We will beat up on pirates and cubs and other bad teams at the end of the year but I think I have learned a lot from watching this team play against good teams and good pitchers. We will be lucky to win a game in the 1st series v Astros 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't understand why he didn't have leash tonight, whereas better pitchers (Kimbrel one runner, Tony brought Bummer in to replace Kimbrel and blow it), and Kopech (2 base runners) had a leash. 29 hits and 3 6/7 inning 1 run starts should get you more than 1 win in 3 games.

chitownsportsfan Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) tonight's goats were TA and Yoan, if those guys don't produce we're not going anywhere, doesn't matter what the pen does. Just have to get hot in October. I know Yoan had the bloop RBI but he's just not producing like he's capable right now and TA is just man, he's having an odd year. game to game he either looks like an all star or like a scrub. no consistent hitting. eloy was bad too but he's still working back so whatever. same with robert.
