So weird that the Astros invested in their bullpen by signing Hader and Elias went on the cheap and got Kimbrel and the Astros bullpen is rock solid while the Orioles is, let's just say, not rock solid.

But Kimbrel didn't like questionable tweets when he was a high schooler.

This is why you don’t give Tony a long term contract. This performance wont age well.

Can it get worse?

Who could have guessed Kimbrel wouldn't be solid.  Wasn't Kimbrel taken out of the closer role the previous 2 years.  I think I would have looked elsewhere.

This team just has not been fun to watch lately.

Our whole team went into hiding .   While I agree Elias didn’t overwhelm me with fixing up the bullpen,  but… they are failing at every aspect.   Hitting, pitching, fielding, coaching.    
 

they need something to go right, and quick.

Rubenstein didn't get control until opening day if I'm remembering right. Did Elias have the budget for that kind of move?

[Marshmellow]

Seattle had the right idea.

I didn't like the Kimbrel deal.  I pointed out he had faded late in the last two seasons.

Calm down everyone.We got our 3 hits.

[terpoh]

This team is so hard to watch.

[LookitsPuck]

It can always get worse

I think some team overpays.
