A month ago we expected this to be a wasted season and were glad to "see what we have" in the bullpen. I'm glad that the team as a whole has exceeded expectations so much that we're back to bashing the bullpen.

If it were young pitchers getting their feet wet and struggling, then sure. But when it's the old pitchers who are getting destroyed and costing us games like Freeman and Moylan, I'm not sure how you expect people to react.

pitch forks is a reasonable response

I don't disagree with the old/young part, but I don't think any of us expected this to be a contention year where it would have made sense to spend big on bullpen pieces to protect the 75 wins we expected to get.

Not going to get worked up over one game. Even the worst team in baseball will win 50-55 games. It happens. Just win the next three.

Wow a reasonable response.

Winning on the road is hard even against bad teams sometimes. I expect much better games the next 3 and splitting the series is an acceptable outcome.

I think someone wanted to give him 4/10 or 4/20 or something lol

LOL, yes. Let's recap another brain dead idea from the usual suspect...

I think Freeman's going to be a really interesting guy to watch as an extension candidate along with Vizcaino this season.

Quick poll:

Sam Freeman is a BP arm who is already controlled through his age 33 season. Who thinks he is an extension candidate?

4 years for $8-$10 million

Let this comment sink in for a second...

Being able to non-tender a BP arm that’s already in his 30s that will make, at most, $5M-$6M in the next 2 seasons is about as flexible as a scenario can be.

Yet somehow, locking him in with a guaranteed 4 year deal provides the team with MORE flexibility?

Really hope snit gets camargo in the lineup today. Might be a good day to rest albies

[Enscheff]

The funniest part was when he tried to double down on the stupid with...

Because all extensions are about adding years?

Umm, yes, that's the point of an extension.

That's why the word is literally based on the word "extend", as in "extend team control".

LOL

One note: it’s spelled extent*, as in extent team control.

Stop being a jerk... I like what you bring as far as data, but I'm tired of you attacking people.
