July 24, 20188 yr There are not "useful" bullpen guys when trailed or tied game situation. I think it pushed Bearclaw-Conley-Rider's heavy workload.
July 24, 20188 yr Doesnt help that our bullpen depth right now is nonexistent. Guys like Graves, Meyer, and Hernandez taking up roster spots. Wittgren being in AAA makes no sense to me.

July 24, 20188 yr For some reason I have a feeling we're not trading anyone I guarantee you someone will be traded before the deadline.
July 24, 20188 yr I don't understand why Witt not in the majors,too. Home run problem. Meyer has earned his spot in the majors see triple a numbers and limited use in the majors. The other two are rule 5 picks so have to be in the majors.
July 25, 20188 yr I guarantee you someone will be traded before the deadline. Hope so, although I feel like it's been a heavy buyer's market
July 25, 20188 yr I guarantee you someone will be traded before the deadline. What’s your punishment if it doesn’t happen?
August 3, 20188 yr Once again, like I said... this guy sucks! Hi, please don't be one of those people that ONLY posts during negative situations. That gets old, fast. Thanks.
August 3, 20188 yr Once again, like I said... this guy sucks! I think Barrasuck needs his own DFA thread now lol
August 3, 20188 yr But yes ... that was really, REALLY bad. Put him on the DL with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, please.
August 3, 20188 yr Author Sick of seeing this guy blow wins, especially with two outs. CHANGE THE CLOSER MATTINGLY!!! You should have pulled him when there were no outs and two on! If this team only had a decent closer!! I just don't understand why Mattingly keeps him in when it's obvious he has no stuff! Six blown saves and several more where he nearly blew 3-4 run leads. The guy does not have a 'closer mentality'. Get another closer Mattingly!!!!

I’m in belief that Mattingly has short term memory and forgets that this guy has been pitching awful recently and just keeps him in there.
August 3, 20188 yr I’m in belief that Mattingly has short term memory and forgets that this guy has been pitching awful recently and just keeps him in there. Don’t blame Mattingly, blame Jeter. He forgot to sell high on a reliever. Just like Loria, his friend who gave him the franchise.
August 3, 20188 yr For as good as Barraclough was the first three months, he’s been horrible since July 1. Ruined his once elite ERA. A bigger issue is that over the last two years he’s totally lost his fastball. He barely hits 94 compared to 96-98 when he came up.

August 3, 20188 yr Author Hi, please don't be one of those people that ONLY posts during negative situations. That gets old, fast. Thanks. Where else does one vent their frustrations? Barraclough is a negative... sorry, but it's true. He's blown 4 of the last six saves. It's frustrating to see the team play well and hold a lead, only to have the same guy keep blowing it.
August 3, 20188 yr A bigger issue is that over the last two years he’s totally lost his fastball. He barely hits 94 compared to 96-98 when he came up. Yes, but his velo has been down all season - he got away with that by having a very good change-up for the first three months. Not sure what's happened there, seemed to me like he's not really using it at all.

You are correct, he's been god awful of late, but I'd prefer to see a little balance in one's posts. That's all. ? Have some positive ones as well, maybe join us in the game threads every so often.
