You mean, you don't long for the days of a manager having to decide whether he will pinch hit for a cruising pitcher in the 6th inning of a close game? Or watching said pitcher "hit"?Gotta say I like the DH in both leagues this year.

Didn’t see this when I started making my last post, but big-time yes.No need to fret, people. Depressing about the Red Sox bullpen though with all these flamethrowing, yet accurate relievers the other teams all seem to have.
The more people that hammer home the point (if we could do anything about it).Didn’t see this when I started making my last post, but big-time yes.

YesAlso, is that Bill Walton behind home plate in a Padres jersey?
Given the state of MLB offense in 2022, it's quite fitting.Man, give me a game where offenses look competent.
This has been a really pitcher heavy post season.
He's from San Diego and still lives there, I think.Also, is that Bill Walton behind home plate in a Padres jersey?
Yeah, I think in Hillcrest next to Balboa Park; there’s a 15 minute video on YouTube of him railing against the San Diego mayorHe's from San Diego and still lives there, I think.
Yeah. When every game is a pitching duel - none of them are.Given the state of MLB offense in 2022, it's quite fitting.
Was there video of him ranting “Get off my lawn!”?Yeah, I think in Hillcrest next to Balboa Park; there’s a 15 minute video on YouTube of him railing against the San Diego mayor

Man you ain’t kidding.Also, I gotta say that watching playoff baseball and these teams’ bullpens is really making it clear to me just how awful the Red Sox pen was this year. Good god.
This really has been a shock. Just how bad was Bloom's evaluation of the bullpen?Also, I gotta say that watching playoff baseball and these teams’ bullpens is really making it clear to me just how awful the Red Sox pen was this year. Good god.
Honestly wasn’t sure if you were being sarcastic at first, but I don’t think so. I mean, we shouldn’t be surprised after seeing them fuck up so consistently all season long, but the fact that we had basically no one who was a lock down reliever is crazy. We had guys who did good for stretches, but no one we could rely on for the entire year…This really has been a shock. Just how bad was Bloom's evaluation of the bullpen?
Yeah and I understand injuries played a role, but watching these games it's like holy shit. These teams are stacked with great arms and we were keeping our fingers crossed with Brasier all year?Honestly wasn’t sure if you were being sarcastic at first, but I don’t think so.

I am very, very glad the Sox season is over. Here's hoping next year is better!Yeah and I understand injuries played a role, but watching these games it's like holy shit. These teams are stacked with great arms and we were keeping our fingers crossed with Brasier all year?
