Rowand44 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Crede is ridiculous. As much as he has struggled this year, you just know he's going to be there when you really need him. It's insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Thank God for the Royals crapacular bullpen. The best trade of the offseason for the Royals was sending Ambriox Burgos the hell away from Kaufman. He could get people out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 04:36 AM) If Thornton still has his usual velocity he should be fine. We might need to give him some appeareances to get straightened out, and give him a full innning instead of using him as a LOOGY (which has been the case lately). People have the book on him though. He's not throwing his offspeed stuff at all, so they can sit on the first pitch fastball. A lot of damage has been done on him vs first pitch fastball this year already.

Chisoxfn Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 09:38 PM) But that's part of the problem having such a young bullpen. If Ozzie is going to use them like a lunatic, they need to be more consistent. They've done a good job of throwing strikes this year, but they're not getting the crucial outs. I didn't see a problem with what Ozzie did. He went to his lefty and went to his righty. He didn't want to go MacDougall...lefty...than another righty, instead he was hoping he could get another out from Vazquez before turning it over to the lefty and than using Mac (made sense to me). It didn't work out but I had no problem with the move. I think he's been a bit too reliant on the lefty/righty matchups but I know there are a lot of smart people in baseball that live with things like that.

danman31 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 QUOTE(Capn12 @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 11:38 PM) Go go KC bullpen. See, our pen could be worse. Yeah, their pen continues to get worse. I was worried because Duckworth was a starter until this outing and had done well. Crede says f*** that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankensteiner Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 QUOTE(Wanne @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 11:38 PM) Or Sisco. Thornton hasn't pitched nearly enough. You're saying as an 7th-8th inning guy? I don't know, his lack of control scares me a little at this point, although I guess he was the main set up guy in KC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 09:38 PM) I think the bullpen is better than what they've shown statistically. I completely agree with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greppson24ottondo Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 its almost like this lineup flips a switch when they're behind and then turns it right back off when they get the lead. hopefully they realize how shaky this bullpen is right now and that they need plenty of insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did that all year last year, too. There was no reason to have Vazquez start the 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
