caulfield12 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Feels like the Dodgers series all over again. Poor Hector. As much as we've downplayed the need for a closer and how easily replaceable they are, it hasn't proven to be the case this year. That said, we didn't foresee losing Jones and Lindstrom, either.

winninguglyin83 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 No reason to blame Putnam. Downs was bad in spring training -- and has only gotten worse. Contract is the only reason he's still around. Leesman could not be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) The fact that we're using Javy Guerra in the 8th inning of a tie game in Baltimore at midseason is just as telling as using Maikel Cleto in high leverage situations earlier in the year. Correction, bases loaded 4-0 high leverage situation...then tie. Edited June 26, 2014 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettie4sox Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I think it's easy to second guess a manager here just because it didn't work out. Javy had no business falling behind Cruz and then throwing a fastball like that to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I wish we had a lefty specialist who I don't know... GOT OUT LEFTIES!!! Great concept actually.. Also why did he take out Putnam anyways for Downs? It's not like lefties are killing Putnam right now. And Davis just got a hit off of Downs the night before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downs was bad in spring training -- and has only gotten worse. Contract is the only reason he's still around. Leesman could not be worse. And that's no longer as compelling, as Hahn was willing to pull the trigger on the Keppinger mistake quickly. They have to pay him $250,000 for next year's buyout, but the bullpen is destroying the morale of this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, we need to DFA him ASAP, as paying him $4M to pitch for us on 2015 would be an epic fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ultimate Champion Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 25, 2014 -> 08:46 PM) Hawk seems beyond pissed at the pitch calling That slider Downs through was garbage, he's out in front of everything and looking inside, you can get him on the outside part of the plate with the fastball right there, even though under other circumstances Davis can hit that pitch out. Flowers is s*** behind the plate calling pitches. I mean Weeds, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) 2-0 to Nelson Cruz, one of the BEST HITTERS IN THE DAMN WORLD right now. You KNOW he can easily hit a grand slam in a hitter's count. So when you already miss with the first two, DON'T GIVE HIM ANYTHING GOOD TO HIT! Is it that f***ing hard??!! I would've preferred pitches close to the zone, and if he walks, then great, only one run, get the next guy.
