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.

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.

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.

 

 

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.

Doesn't Downs' option vest soon? If so, we need to DFA him ASAP, as paying him $4M to pitch for us on 2015 would be an epic fail.

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.

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.

Guerra actually has had experience closing in the major leagues, I don't think the situations are comparable at all
