Harry Chappas Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 New season but same story. Poorly constructed bullpen that has no inning eater and apparently nobody that can go back to back days. Both Lynn and Kopech should have been pulled much earlier then they were and them bullpen was pathetic. Offense can hit but cannot sustain a rally or hit for power. Grifol seems outclassed and not sure what Katz is doing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand 2005 was a one year revival of Damn Yankees with Reinsdorf doing the Mambo to get career years out of mostly journeymen ball players. And 18 years later we are still feeling the pain.

Highland Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Of course, no one in their right mind would write off a team after seven games. But this team has no closer, already a key player is hurt, and their starting pitchers are lucky to get into the sixth inning. And giving up 28 runs in two losses two days apart will make any fan think. The bullpen just looks awful. And since the days of the complete game are long gone, the bullpen becomes more important. After all, now a bullpen is expected to pitch at least a third of the season. Things just don't look good. In the next 155 games, the team has plenty of time to turn things around. I just have big doubts that they will. Kopech has been over-hyped from the start, and Lance Lynn looks like he's fooling no one other than himself. Looks like that bullpen will get a lot more work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
