    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.
