The Unresolved Bullpen Angst Thread

[Gil Gunderson]

His numbers after he gave up the 3-run bomb to Ward were pretty bad.  That was pretty much a year ago.  I thought his poor numbers to end the season were talked about enough when we first signed him (I recall Andy mentioning this) that you guys would have known.

Gregg didn't pitch well in Aug/Sept last season.  Just sayin.

Not really.  After the Ward home run, he had 17 appearances and 14 of them were scoreless.  What made his numbers look bad are two back-to-back appearances where he gave up four runs each.  Those two games happened, so I won't do the whole "if you remove those two games, his ERA was ..." thing, but his so-called meltdown was basically limited to two days.  Maybe he didn't have his stuff those days, maybe his arm was dead, maybe he just threw a few bad pitches.  I'd be more inclined to agree with you if Gregg was giving up a run every other time he took the mound, but that wasn't the case.

So, Gregg actually pitched pretty well in Aug/Sept last season. Just sayin.

Also, it's hard to see the eerie similarities between last August and September and THIS August and September since it's only August 4th.

And since we're talking about the Marlins too, not the Cubs.

It is obvious that the Cubs organization should just write "September" on a piece of paper and tape it over "August" on all the calendars Kevin Gregg could possibly see... Then do the same thing, but for the whole team, once it turns to October.

So you're saying Dolan's jokes are as good as BC's?

Since this is Desipio, at least one of the people you mentioned is a no-talent hack. But enough about me...

Isn't admitting a problem the first step to solving it?

Not even Chuck could hope to match the highly concentrated terribleness that you've posted in the last 12 hours or so.

Take it easy on ol' BC. He was obviously up all night on a Yoohoo bender.

Is it that hard to throw a strike you fucking goofball?

[Ghost of Dave Rosello]

Apparently so.

I'm sure our genius pitching coach will fix that. I mean it's not like Marmol has ever had control problems before. I'm sure if he had Larry would have addressed it by now...

[Ghost of Dave Rosello]

Jesus Christ, bunch of fucking blind guys umpiring this game tonight.

[Slaky]

I liked it when Lou took out Harden to face 8,9 and 1 with 87 pitches on a cool night. Then, I liked how he relied on Marmol to get through the inning and waited until  Utley had walked and Howard was at the plate to get Grabass throwing in the pen.

Nice job, Lou.

Two fucking hitter and they're behind. Fuck me.
