JPA is troubling. I wish cheerios could have supplanted him, but what can ya do.

I would rather see Cheerios at this point, regardless of the 20 something hr's you will probably get from JPA

Not towards the idea of pussyitis but the questioning of Moreland's manhood b/c he got hurt is pretty laughable

It's not his fault more so than it is anyone else for it, but it's annoying. Just seems like he would be the one to have the issue cause he's had poor luck.

keep in mind there's a reason Chirinos is 27 and has a grand total of 90 plate appearances

Soria pumping in strikes there

Like the way he's pitching so far this spring, looking pretty fluid and just going after guys throwing strikes

I just looked up pussyitis in Websters ...Moreland's pic was next to it ...pussyitis 'the inability to live up to your potential '

My guess is Soria opens as the closer, Feliz certainly hasn't earned it

The comments where people say the bullpen slots so much better if Feliz is the closer seems absurd, Soria in the 9th and Feliz in the 8th changes nothing for anyone else

My hope remains that if the guy in the 8th is pitching well then leave him in the 9th as well

Don't forget Sheppers ...the bullpen will fine

I didn't, he won't close IMO

I'm not worried about the bullpen as a whole at all, just think the idea that the bullpen is better off with Feliz closing is stupid

I think it's silly to have only one guy who can close anyway. I think Cotts, Scheppers, Rios, and Feliz are all capable. Play the hot hand!
