guys,

let's all keep calm and not overreact just yet.

it's not a trend yet. maybe it won't be.

last night and tonight were completely different too. Last night was weird managing, luck by the Tigers, and sub par D (by our standards). Tonight is alarming.

Welp if you go back to last year I was all about that Davis closer action.

j-dub · « **Reply #43552 on:** August 13, 2015, 10:36:27 PM »

almonte and zimmer could potentially play the finnegan role this year as well. we've got more power arms if need be.

I want Salvy to be back out there soon. I know he needs rest, but I have to think his absence isn't helping.

Dyson is up 2nd in the 9th. Personally, I'd rather have the guy we traded a bunch of talent for up there, but hey that's me

What if we walk off tonight tho

I really don't want Holland as our closer anymore. Also I think our strategy to rest the pen is backfiring a bit.

or they're showing exactly why they need to be rested.

Holland has been poor all year with lots of rest. Ned calls it him being "rusty"
He has only pitched 3 times in last 16 games.
Lack of rest isn't a factor with Holly

Yeah, last night was very flukey. Tonight is a thrashing of our best two bullpen pitchers.

Holland sucks.....has not been the same all year. Davis just got back, so not worried, but if we continue with holland as our closer, well whatever...

wade hadn't pitched in a long time, and like you said, if cain had been positioned normally it was an out.

holland has been up and down this year.. i'm more worried about him.

losing games late isn't a trend. holland not being very good is a well established trend.

Did you see how inside their heads Dyson is tho?

last years rotation worked, so I guess you're not Ned Yost.

i agree. i was talking about the larger trend of the bullpen being not so great lately.

mocat · « **Reply #43564 on:** August 13, 2015, 10:39:32 PM »

Wacky meant bullpen there i think

Yeah Wade will be ok. Illegal ump hurt him

his last outing was great.. i think, like posse said earlier, he needs consistent work. not extended periods of rest.

I don't even know what that means Wacky. Of course I'm not Ned Yost.

that pisses me off. the 2nd pitch yeah... okay.

BUT THAT 1ST PITCH

Holland's ERA is now at 4.15

sys · « **Reply #43573 on:** August 13, 2015, 10:42:20 PM »

davis was fine. holland was not. they both gave up runs, but other than that, there was nothing similar about their appearances.

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #43574 on:** August 13, 2015, 10:42:36 PM »

Just put Hoch in Hollands role. Boom.
