pollythewog Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 the mcgown/breslow thing makes absolutely no sense (they're both putrid) but in benedict i trust i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 the mcgown/breslow thing makes absolutely no sense (they're both putrid) but in benedict i trust i guess not really a ton fo other options i guess. blame hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollythewog Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 so wait does this mean Dunn is our official setup guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Ege and pick up on these guys the other teams are dropping still a not good pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollythewog Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 still a not good pen. no doubt. Even bearclaw Ege is better than those two old farts who can't strike anyone out (and walk everyone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongInTheAir Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Nick Vincent would have been an awesome addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 The problem really with this pen isn't so much Breslow and McGowan, it's that no one really replaces Capps so there's a huge gap between the closer and everyone else. We basically have no eighth inning guy. It's the closer plus a pack of middle relievers. If we're in contention in July mark it down now that we're gunning for a true setup guy at the deadline.

Rydawg Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 so wait does this mean Dunn is our official setup guy? Morris??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Morris??? Its probably Dunn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vince0926 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 So is hand gone yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokersgoon Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Morris is set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 So is hand gone yet? He'll be cut before the season, no rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rydawg Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 He'll be cut before the season, no rush. I think Vince is dying to give himself a Hand job in celebration of Hands departure. In essence Vince will be cuming while Hand is going! LOL Sorry I don't usually drink on a Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dim Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'd like Wittgren in the 'pen but I'll say that every year until they're actually forced to do it and he proves the front office that he's good enough to be a 7th/8th inning regular. I'm still surprised Barraclough didn't earn himself an automatic bullpen spot. Literally went 11 straight appearances without giving up a run last season. Even with a suspect end he still finished last season with a 2.59 ERA. I have to imagine he's more trustworthy (and higher potential) than Dustin McGowan and his near 7 ERA last year. Breslow also hasn't been good since 2013 so it doesn't seem to be a good choice. Cody Ege was absolutely dominant at every level he pitched last season and is a much needed lefty out of the pen. It seems obvious that Mattingly is an old school mind that is trusting the older, more experienced relievers over the young guys, even if it very easily could be to the detriment of the team.

Das Texan Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 ERA isnt everything, especially with a reliever. His WHIP was elevated in Sept/Oct last year. He was walking way too many this spring. ya its not overly shocking he was sent down. Let him figure it out in AAA and come up when McGowan sucks (assuming Kyle figures it out that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
