Seems like it to me, too

For a guy who throws 95-97 mph, he doesn’t seem to have a put away pitch.

Sounds like Reyes

Yes.

Perez has completely lost the ability to strike people out

he is unable to fool major league hitters

yeah, he's only struck out 17 people

in 18.1 innings of work in the big leagues…

He's been in the majors for like a month or two

Not nearly enough time to establish ability to “lose”

And he's a young player

he’s going to go through growing pains. This is why putting him in at closer right off of the bat was a bad idea

and

they are having no trouble pulling the ball. skip saved his ass

so much for tony's comments

that we don’t have a bullpen problem, just an offense problem. problem is we developing an offensive bullpen

by sportsman on Jun 29, 2008 4:13 PM EDT   0 recs

did he ever say we don't have a BP problem?

Or just that we have an offense problem as well? He’s not dumb enough not to realize that there is a very real problem with our bullpen

If mulder would have come in it would probably be a tie game already

Probably gonna put him in at the start of an inning

Not great to have him start off inheriting runners, IMO

so far, so good score-wise

but it’s getting chewed up innings-wise. won’t be much available tomorrow at this rate

or else he wants more than one inning out of Mulder

and I was about to make an irrelevant argument about the pitchers spot coming up. Stupid AL

They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...

by Valatan on Jun 29, 2008 4:17 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Agreed, stupid AL

My point is just that if Izzy is pseudo hands off with the knee, KMac should be after pitching 2 innings last night and if Mulder isn’t going to be used…we are just as short in the pen as we were 2 days ago.

izzy warming up

maybe for now

they are reserving Mulder for long relief duties

Yeah

You would think it’d be Mulder warming up and not Izzy if Mulder was really good to go.

I don't know -- we had an izzy problem, and a flores problem.

Kmac, perez, franklin and springer (since his DL stint) have generally gotten it done, with some exceptions.

For sure,

three hits, no runs, 8 Ks, zero walks over nine. Thank you, Slowey.

(P.S.: That is a great name for a pitcher – Slowey.)

way to go Russ

Russ comes in and throws 5 fastballs to get out of the inning

He’s a grown-ass man

And notice where they were.

Exactly

top of the strikezone was allowed because of service time.

"Got time to make the play..."

Why, exactly did Alex Gordon have time to make that play. It’s not like Miles is slow.

actually in Yadi’s glove.

But the one I hit in MVP Baseball last night did!

Albert's HR

Would have gone into the construction beyond the bullpen minus the crosswind. His ball in the 8th or 9th would have left the field, too…

Just thinking about how nice an Albert HR would feel
