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.

Jones is just brutal. I agree with someone on the other thread said about his delivery. 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.

Five batters faced so far on the season and no outs.

 

And he was the favorite to be the closer two weeks ago.

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.

Jones did the same thing last season. He was pretty brutal in April & May and then was lights out from there.

Hopefully he rebounds.

 

 

Thank you for that. 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.
