Well then perhaps we're overstating our bullpen's ability to hold a lead

Which is their only job 

[SteveA]

We need someone to get an out or two in the 7th.   Cano and Bautista can probably give us 7 or 8 outs.

I've seen you recommend many a song.   I have a hard time imagining you putting up that one.

It would only be at need.

Shall I add that to your tab? One lockdown bullpen arm and one top of the rotation starter?

Yes you may sir. Luckily we are prospect rich and have an overabundance of org talent, so we can more than afford it.

I’m still mad about 1969 and 71.

This is mostly on the atrocious fielding.

[ArtVanDelay]

Why did the Orioles trade Mickey Tettleton for a pitcher with a 6 ERA?

I guess those OBP skills weren’t appreciated back then.

And 1979

Ok 1 down, 2 to go.

Its when things go bad we wonder if we have other guys who could be doing better.  And when you think the answer is YES the aggravation gets pretty strong.

Yes and yes

Even if he did run probably would have been out. I would have liked to see more hustle but it seems like an out off the bat.

Every popup is an adventure in that dump

Prieto for Aroldis Chapman? Cesar isn't going to get a real shot here, and a power lefty would make a difference right now. That's a trade I could stomach.

[baltfan]

Bradish also has to go deeper when handed a 7 run lead.
