does anyone know the era of our bullpen this spring training so far (excluding those pitchers who are not expected to make the team). I just saw the boxscore for today's game and the bullpen totally sucked. I am getting more and more worried about our bullpen everyday. I know lindstrom and proctor haven't pitched much or at all in the spring but still.

Lindstrom 1 IP, 0 ER

Nunez 9 IP, 4 ER

Calero 9 IP, 0 ER

Kensing 8.66 IP, 4 ER

Pinto 10.33 IP, 5 ER

Meyer 9.33 IP, 6 ER

C. Martinez 10 IP, 4 ER (It's gotta be him, right?)

 

Total 57.33 IP, 23 ER = 3.61 ERA

3.61 ERA?

 

We're screwed!

Also

 

Lindstrom 1 IP, 1 H, 0 BB (1.00)

Nunez 9 IP, 9 H, 5 BB (1.55)

Calero 9 IP, 3 H, 1 BB (.44)

Kensing 8.66 IP, 7 H, 4 BB (1.27)

Pinto 10.33 IP, 7 H, 9 BB (1.54)

Meyer 9.33 IP, 9 H, 5 BB (1.50)

C. Martinez 10 IP, 15 H, 4 BB (1.90)

 

Total 57.33 IP, 51 H, 28 BB = 1.37 WHIP

And since I'm very bored,

 

Lindstrom 1 IP, 1 K

Nunez 9 IP, 6 K

Calero 9 IP, 6 K

Kensing 8.66 IP, 6 K

Pinto 10.33 IP, 9 K

Meyer 9.33 IP, 10 K

C. Martinez 10 IP, 6 K

 

Team K/9 = 6.75

Also, they have cumulatively given up 4 HR (which is excellent). Meyer and Martinez each twice.

So basically, as soon as Proctor replaces C. Martinez/whoever as the other right hander, Lindstrom comes back and helps deflect Calero who is surely over achieving, and we figure out our lefty situation, the bullpen should be looking pretty solid. I don't think it's going to be shocking if they have a high 3 ERA/mid 1.30 whip going forward. Which is more than adequate.

 

And we kind of have another bullpen in waiting with Tucker, Ceda, Vanden Hurk, Leroux, Wood, West, and Thompson.

 

This is gonna be fine. I'm a lot more worried about getting 30-32 starts out of our front 5. What "6th starter" is going to accumulate the extra 100-150 innings were probably going to need at some point. I do not trust Badenhop, Trahern, Vanden Hurk, etc to be able to pull that off this year. Praying Sean West is lights out for 3 months in Jax.

wow thanks you really eased my mind

3.61 ERA?

 

We're screwed!

 

screw you and your sarcasm

Oh Lou, what would we do without you.

Thanks for this - you always bring the not-too-homerific perspective that some on here severely lack; and fortunately, in this case, there is good stuff to look forward to. :thumbup

Hey, it's my birthday, I get a pass on it

Slightly concerning though how both the lefties, Pinto and Meyer seem to have given up quite a few runs of late.

Take Calero out of that average and the rest of the pen is putrid. Unfortunately, Calero can't pitch all the bullpen innings. Things could get really ugly in the sixth and seventh innning, starting on Monday.

Take Martinez out then too and add Proctor and it's the same thing. And then add in Lindstrom and Nunez settling down to his career averages.

 

You have no argument.
