Already bemoaning the bullpen? They'll be fine.cap-n-jack said:
This is going to be a problem late in the year and in the post season.

Gonzalez also acted like a little pr*ck by kicking a baseball (as he was jogging in to the dugout) that the home plate ump tossed out to the mound.
It should be noted that Gonzalez has had a bad day at the plate this season.
As we saw last year, that loses effectiveness in a 7 game series. We tattooed Jansen. There's a reason Dotel and Wagner never won us a WS.cap-n-jack said:
Fair enough. I hope you're right. I just remember the likes of Dotel and Wagner. Flamethrowers who overpowered hitters for an inning or two. I don't know that we have guys like that in the pen.

And the reason is that they didn't have the offensive firepower that we have now.
I trust in Hinch, we'll be fine. My only point is I think this is the weakest link in the chain.
No one denies that our bullpen is our weakness, especially considering we have a historic offense and one of the best starting staffs in the league. I disagree with the people who think it's a problem.cap-n-jack said:
