Series Thread: Bullpen challenged Rangers hosting the surprising Twins

[Hambombs]

I'm not gonna lie. I'm a bit worried.

You will have your on and off stretches all the time

 

[Hambombs]

So what does this team need t the deadline in your opinion?

I don't see us winning this one. Sorry, boys.

Too early to say.

 

[donaldson79]

Excellent play by Tolly there

 

[WastinSomeTime]

This ump is inconsistent. An often stated comment from me each game.

To me a TORP. Who would be available?

Dependable relief pitchers. And health.

I would say that too. Bullpen has been good lately though

 

[Hambombs]

Well i would like 2 really good bullpen guys like they did getting koji and adams that one year

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Looks like another 1 run loss.

We have no idea if we're even going to be in a position to buy yet. Even if they made the playoffs I think they'd be out in the ALDS. No sense in giving up much if you're not a legit contender.

Yes sir.....You are definitely on to something there.

When our starters don't get a quality start, the company line seems to be, "our BP is getting exposed." When our starters get quality start after quality start, let's see if the line changes to, "our PB isn't getting enough work."

But hey, we took 2 of 3 and honestly, the Twins had plenty of opportunities to have gotten a lot more runs off of Martinez early on.

So I'll take it.

Well we don't know yet. Anything can happen in the playoffs if they keep playing well. I think they're a TORP and a reliable bullpen guy or 2 away from being a true contender.

Right there as we just need to keep winning series.
