[BULLPEN FAILURE]

How much longer are we paying Hamels?

Through 2018. 2019 is as follows:

$20M Team Option, $24M Vesting Option, $6M Buyout Vests if he 1) has 400 IP in 2017-18, including 200 IP in 2018, and 2) is not on the disabled list with a shoulder or elbow injury at the end of the 2018 season

Profar starting to put together some better ABs

Might be getting some clarity on the LF spot

Right now that 6m looks like the way to go.

I hate this intentional walk rule.

 

[Duane1952]

I hate this intentional walk rule.

So do I.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Make em pay, Roog.

 

[romeo212000]

So do I.

As CJ pointed out, it removes an offensive advantage.

 

[DT LUNA]

Close but not quite enough

 

[DT LUNA]

As CJ pointed out, it removes an offensive advantage.

And doesn't speed the game up much either. And I don't like taking away the way the game has been played for a hundred years. Improve the Ump calling b/s but leave the game alone.

 

[romeo212000]

Why was Barnett even back out there?

 

[jta4437]

As CJ pointed out, it removes an offensive advantage.

I'm okay if the bases are empty but yeah runners on 2nd and 3rd and 1st base open, it removes the advantage

 

[jta4437]

This damn Heredia guy again

 

[Duane1952]

Can this bullpen get any worse.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Is there anything you like about this team? I'm not sure you've said one positive thing since the season started.

I've stated before that I like the lineup. Except for the last 2 days.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Can this bullpen get any worse.

Dumpster fire. The group as a whole never seems to hold the lead.

 

[DT LUNA]

Can this bullpen get any worse.

Keep in mind we have two key pieces coming back soon.

 

[Duane1952]

Keep in mind we have two key pieces coming back soon.

Kela and who else.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Keep in mind we have two key pieces coming back soon.

Kela and Bush?

 

[DT LUNA]

Kela and who else.

Bush

Bush warming up now
