June 4, 200818 yr I don't even know where to start. Offense is doing their job at least. We should've won both these games.
June 4, 200818 yr I'm at a loss for words, this road trip is reminding me of the start of the 2006 season when we just kept blowing lead after lead during that 11-31 start to the year. Let's turn things around tomorrow please.
June 4, 200818 yr Offense= Good Pitching= Gay These pitchers need to get their arm out of their ass and learn how to throw the ball.
June 4, 200818 yr Good seeing Badenhop settle down after giving up those three runs in the first inning. Too bad he couldn't win the game. This bullpen has become a piece of sh*t. Learn how to do your damn jobs and start getting outs. Most importantly- learn to hold a goddamned lead! This is ridiculous. I might get an ulcer if they keep playing like this.
June 4, 200818 yr :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol I can't do anything else but laugh. I wish i could Holly, i am weeping, the bullpen is really stinking it up as of lately.
June 4, 200818 yr I don't even know where to start. Offense is doing their job at least. We should've won both these games. Yea, but it seems like one person does most of it. Ex: Uggla. He drove in three of the four runs tonight. This offense needs to stop depending on one person to pick them up. *ends vent*
June 4, 200818 yr We can't afford to fall apart on this roadtrip. Especially when the phillies keep winning. We got to pick it up tomorrow!
June 4, 200818 yr Freddi Gonzalez went against the #'s and it cost him, in the 8th, just like it cost him on Sunday, pitching to Burrell with 1B open, and the much worse, Pedro Feliz on deck. ...and the bullpen blows it, again. I guess this happens when you have mediocre starts, on a consistent basis. Yeah...it does have something to do with it.
June 4, 200818 yr While it may be easy to look at Fredi here, this is really a result of 2 years of 5 IP from starters. This bullpen's production was just not sustainable with the workload it has received. That being said, I would just like us to settle on a setup man. Miller began the year well, the poof he disappeared and Pinto appeared. Pinto has now disappeared and Lindstrom is now in. We seem to switch each month. Personally, I've just never really trusted Lindstrom and Pinto should have gone out for the 8th. Bottom line: We need SP. Period. Just glad it's a day game tomorrow.
June 4, 200818 yr So where are all the people that insisted after last night that Lindstrom should be the closer? Point is, we have no real closer. Lindstrom wouldn't be any better than Gregg.
June 4, 200818 yr Well, we were winning until the 7th, and then...poof!, the lead evaporated. We shouldn't be too shocked though, it should be expected from this team during this roadtrip. The bullpen, after being so good, has lost us 5 out of 6 of the games we've lost. Something's gotta give, but what?
June 4, 200818 yr We should make some roster move. First move must be the catcher Rabelo. Second was Pitchers.

Learn how to do your damn jobs and start getting outs. Most importantly- learn to hold a goddamned lead! This is ridiculous. I might get an ulcer if they keep playing like this. Badenhop threw 5 innings...once again, a non-quality start from a starting pitcher. Once again, the bullpen has to go 3-4 innings in a game. The bullpen isn't doing its job, but the starters haven't done it, all year.

I guess this happens when you have mediocre starts, on a consistent basis. Yeah...it does have something to do with it. And just like it cost him last night when he IBB'd Kelly Johnson to get to Yunel Escobar.
June 4, 200818 yr So where are all the people that insisted after last night that Lindstrom should be the closer? Point is, we have no real closer. Lindstrom wouldn't be any better than Gregg. I'm still here. I bumped the thread for everyone, and everything. I still want Gregg gone by the offseason, at the latest.
June 4, 200818 yr So where are all the people that insisted after last night that Lindstrom should be the closer? Point is, we have no real closer. Lindstrom wouldn't be any better than Gregg. He's called Joe Nelson

June 4, 200818 yr wow idk wat to say anymore besides that i kind of had the feeling they would do it again. I guess all you can do is come out in a few hours and try to win but with hendrickson on the mound that doesnt seem so likely

This offense needs to stop depending on one person to pick them up. *ends vent* The good thing is that it's not the same guy carrying them everyday which means it's a pretty solid offense. Our main problem all year has been the starting pitching and now the bullpen is starting to show signs of fatigue because of it. Let's all hope and pray that Volstad and Tucker get called up soon and they're able to eat up innings.
June 4, 200818 yr The opposing team has beaten us ONCE this roadtrip. We've beaten ourselves every other time.
June 4, 200818 yr Ultimately this is the failure of the front office. They did not do enough to upgrade the starting pitching in the offseason. We literally have no good MLB ready starting pitchers.
June 4, 200818 yr Let's all hope and pray that Volstad and Tucker get called up soon and they're able to eat up innings. You don't call up rookie pitchers to eat innings, Mr. Baker.
