This is absolutely true. People can site beating the worthless Orioles and Angels 2014 pitching staffs all they want. This team is ****ed if it has to go through Toronto without home field.

No we have to keep the bullpen "fresh" for the playoffs, so its OK now, according to Ned, who said in the post game "Wade was rusty" , or he's not a robot, (which is up for debate) this deep bullpen which is never used, count em 6-7 guys wasting away in the pen. Because Ned is a players manager, leave the starter to the wolves. He needs to go CG! Ned is ****ing around with wins and losses, it is a major issue that needs to be dealt with, the best bullpen in the league throws probably 30 pitches total per game, between 7 ****ing dudes

Flopnuts sometimes mentions battered woman syndrome around here and I think 'meh', but holy shit, I guess it's what you get from years of failure from local teams... can't wait to figure out when it'll all go wrong.

Al Bundy · 08-14-2015, 06:06 AM

Morales played a role in this loss too, he could have put this one completely out of reach in his first two at bats.

**Anyong Bluth** · 08-14-2015, 06:43 AM

This thread has aids and a bunch of pissy chickenheads running around with a big ole gash between their legs.

Reactionist drama queens.

Take a midol, grab your favorite pint of Ben & Jerry's to bury your face into, put on your favorite KD Lang album, and chill the **** out!

Can you do that for me, honey bunny?

tomahawk kid · 08-14-2015, 06:58 AM

So clearly, Holland isn't at 100%.

Why not go something like Madson, Herrera, Davis until he's healed or gets straightened out?

SPEAK TO ME O BASEBALL EXPERTS!!!!

**Anyong Bluth** · 08-14-2015, 06:59 AM

You don't screw with anything at this point. That’s just jumping the gun.

I have no issue keeping Holly as the closer for now. But, come playoff time, he's got be money, or he's got to go.

The borgs blow one game and the sky is falling? Lol.

Holland has been shit for a while now, it's not like this shitty outing was a surprise.

Great Expectations · 08-14-2015, 07:59 AM

Based on WHIP our best relievers in order are:

Davis
Madson
Herrera
Medlen
Morales
Blanton
Hoch
Holland

Guthrie is the only pitcher on our 40 man roster with a worse WHIP than Holland.

If you look at our best relievers per OPS it is in order:

Davis
Herrera
Medlen
Madson
Morales
Hoch
Holland
Blanton
