Series Thread: Yankees @ Rays 4/17 - 4/20

what about when robertson comes back on tuesday

 

[bksballer89]

Well this is getting really interesting

 

[bksballer89]

This is the AB of the game. Yanks up 1 but Rays have runners on 1st & 3rd for Longoria with 2 outs

 

[bksballer89]

Bases are loaded now.

The pen is actually struggling a bit tonight

 

[bksballer89]

Well this inning is a disaster

 

[bksballer89]

This is bad

This is bad

Can't expect to win them all, but you should expect to win with a four run lead.

I think this pitcher just answered that.


And now Cabrel's last MLB apperence ends by Joe West throwing him out.

 

[bksballer89]

Why is he getting ejected?

 

[obxyankeefan]

Why is he getting ejected?

Three HBP in the last four batters. Also it is Joe West, who likes to be the center oof attention.

 

[obxyankeefan]

Sucks we had to use Kelley but think god that shit is over.

 

[bksballer89]

Yeah no doubt........8 runs allowed in the last 2 innings

 

[bksballer89]

Now I will be happy with a split. If we won today as it looks we were going to do after 6 IP, I was going to be greedy and want 3 of 4

well its ok, bullpen finally had a bad day. It happens.

CC avoided the one bad inning...impressive win

CC needed that to keep pace in the rotation. Now we need Nova to pitch tonight like he's capable of.

This is bad

It was only a matter of time before the bullpen was exposed. It's the weakest part of the team now.

 

[bksballer89]

1 bad game doesn't mean all of sudden the bullpen is bad. It's a 162 game season and every aspect of your team will have several bad games

 

[CSD]

True it's only one game, but the bullpen was a strength last season. This season, it's a weakness after losing several key pitchers. (Mo and Logan) Our bullpen ERA is currently sitting at 4.50

 

[bksballer89]

What was the bullpen ERA before last night? Obviously it was pretty low if allowing 8 runs only brought it to 4.5

 

[purguy12]

ERA is that high because of last game. Before last game they had like a 1.80 (something like that in the last 7 games). They will be fine. I do agree we need to add 1 RP by the all-star break. We need a set up man/possible closer if Drob can't be it.

Didn't check. The pen was doing well until last night, I'm just afraid they'll have more nights like that.
