Nasty slider.....way too nasty.

One guy.

 

Just one guy out of that pen (or starting staff today) does his job, and this doesn't happen.

 

OK, Duffey was that guy, but he got screwed. And it was too late by the time he got in, anyway, then he got pulled too soon.

 

Our bullpen just isn't good, it's bad.

 

Our AAA starters aren't that good out of the pen, either!!!

The ump has also robbed Stewart of 2-3 low strike calls that were given to Chapman multiple times.

Ladies and Gentleman.... Kohl Stewart.

Was sent back to Rochester after the game!

The one knee Catcher really limits mobility on that type of pitch

 

Do we have a position player that can throw?

This game is an indictment on the Front Office.  I've been reluctant to say it, but their inability to anticipate and address the bullpen has cost them a half a dozen games over the last several weeks.

Well.  Here we go.

 

My brain hurts.

 

Yay, wild pitch gives the Yankee and insurance run! Woot!

Bullpen: 9 runs. 5 innings.

 

What the front office is probably going to do before July 31st: Nothing

My optimism is starting to fade, someone help me out  

At least we got Tauchman out...

Kohl Stewart just isn't a MLB-quality pitcher. His minor league track record has always indicated that, and if he's going to post poor stats in AAA, there's no way he's going to stop the Yankees lineup. Unfortunately [whoever our current coach is]'s only other option was to use one of our starters... and I can understand why he didn't want to do that.

 

I am.

I think that's part of the TD TOS.

Not even really sure how Stewart is on this team.  He doesn't even pitch particularly well in the minor leagues.  Is Latroy Hawkins maybe interested in a comeback?  

 

When was the last inning the Yankees didn't score?

 

Our bullpen is fine.

 

Against the Twins, you mean? 1991?

Sure going to be interesting how this team responds in the next couple days after this one

Im not even mad I’m just kinda drained

 

The ump has also robbed Stewart of 2-3 low strike calls that were given to Chapman multiple times.

 

Amen. I hate umpires calling balls and strikes.

And still standing by my previous statement.

 

Looking forward to being able to sit, eventually.

it sounds insanse, but i wonder what u guys would give us for Hand.... seriously... he has 2 years of control still and is top 3-4 in baseball...i think indians can afford to drop him if kluber and salazar are anywhere close to themselves...   

 

Falvey seriously needs to be punched in the face over and over again

 

When I finally go to bed tonight. I'll have seen one of the most amazing games I've ever seen and the worst of the internet simultaneously. 

Didn't someone doubt this thread would go past 47 pages at one point?

Now that the bullpen is taxed, does Staskak or Thorpe get sent down? You know, the two guys who are most responsible for the taxing.

Any chance you have Chapman too?

No, but the guy who does is so far in last he’s not going to care. In fact, Chapman’s saves are the only thing keeping him from being in last in all eight categories.

Why is Kohl Stewart even pitching in this situation in a playoff race against the Yankees? This is just getting absurd.

 

I really wish the media would start to tar and feather Falvine about this bullpen instead of kissing their rear ends.

 

Sure going to be interesting how this team responds in the next couple days after this one

 

Realistically, probably going to drop the finale tomorrow and win the series against Chicago and Miami, but this one will sting.

 

it really is your achilles heal...weve been so spoiled in cleveland having a top 3 rotation and pen for 5 years running, idiots like me lose it when our closer blows our mlb fewest 4th game all year...my heart could not take a subpar bullpen...your hitting is amazing, period, but twins gotta get an arm.. and i dont know there is one out there elite enough

Yeah, that's the biggest problem, every single bullpen seems to be flawed in some fashion so getting an elite arm is a tall order.
