Hate to say it...but that Choo blunder in the first is gonna haunt.

Vomit if fair

Failed smile

Pitching...will be lucky to be .500 when the starters return

At least that Choo brain fart doesn't hurt as much.

Bullpen is BAD

Should have won this game

Check score immediately after Rios sac fly then check again immediately after Ortiz homer.

Dammit

Time to get healthy vs the Astros

When Harrison gets back do we move Ross back to the pen?

Either him or Scheppers need to go back. The bullpen is AWFUL

Hopefully the Astros will be a cure, but the formula for beating them so often last year was to outlast the starter and get to their lousy bullpen. Now we have a lousy bullpen of our own.

I don't see how they could possible do that.

Cotts will be fine.

If Ogando and Feliz could get back to what they used to be, the bullpen would be fine. As it is now, it could lose the team a lot of games.

Beltre won't go to the DL (yet).

Lewis pushed back to Mon or Tues.

Depends on your definition of fine. Guy isn't young, and he's had more below average years than above average.

Better chance he gives you a 4+ ERA than a sub 2 ERA.

I bet you looked at him last year and said "oh great, look at this f***ing spare" before he reeled off the best year of left-handed relief we've ever had in Arlington.

I guess i'm an optimist to a fault.

Sure, but so far he's no bueno and it's not exactly unheard of for a relatively spare reliever to have a great year and then go back to being themselves. Bullpens can be very fickle due to this kind of thing. It's early, but he'd be far from the first.
