Kyyle23 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Sadly this is exactly what I expected out of Lindstrom. This is what he did last year while mopping up and setting up. Just can't trust the guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyDo Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 They're not good. That was pretty well known coming in. Nothing to be done about it unless the team is somehow looking like a contender. Almost sweeping the Twins doesn't cut it from my perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 If the things that prevent us from being a good team are not the failures of the young talent we acquired, but underperforming veteran relievers or AAAA pitchers, then I will be able to watch this season happily.

JoshPR Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Jones is just brutal. I agree with someone on the other thread said about his delivery. I can't understand why he pitches backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand why he pitches backwards. Haha, Jones always bugs Greg so much with that delivery. Then we have Cleto, who has a million dollar arm and zero idea of where the ball is going. Plouffe really laid in the weeds on those two fastballs from both Cleto and Lindstrom. Predictable outcomes. Just surprised we didn't give away the lead completely in the 7th when Eaton made that catch in center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand why he pitches backwards. Five batters faced so far on the season and no outs. And he was the favorite to be the closer two weeks ago.

Marty34 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Nate Jones can't be trusted in any game situation (other than mop up) and that makes him a bullpen killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 LOL. Every pitcher out of the pen right now is a "bullpen killer" at the moment. Doesn't really matter when they enter the game. Still, it's a lot better than when Thornton and Hector Santiago were blowing those early April/May games. This situation has been a LOT more predictable.

I guess but Steve Stone was pretty unequivocal when he said Jones would be the starter, so I was surprised with Lindstrom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Jones did the same thing last season. He was pretty brutal in April & May and then was lights out from there. Apr 6.17 May 6.91 Jun 0.59 Jul 3.09 Aug 2.76 Hopefully he rebounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I just hope it's the cold weather. All bullpens are going to look bad once in awhile and I hope we get it out of the way early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 This is why you need good starting pitching that can go deep into games. That's why I see Sox drafting a pitcher come draft day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe people couldn't make it through the entirety of last season, but there were stretches where he looked solid. I'm not ready to give up on him just yet.
