Welcome to the Phillies bullpen Ian Kennedy!!!

[Philsmania]

Well, Kennedy isn't helping the bullpen's ERA.

[LoneStarPhan]

Not a good way to introduce yourself to the Phillies phans.

[Varjak]

Is this the part where everyone throws a fit that we got ripped off and the new guy in the bullpen is terrible and hopeless whereas the guys we gave up clearly would have been the next DeGrom?

[Philsmania]

This is why I HATE it when managers put closers into games like this just to get some work in.

[bkox]

Kennedy now at 22 pitches... will he be available for tomorrow when we are starting our former closer?

[Philsmania]

The pesky Pirates of Friday and yesterday are back.

I saw Kennedy pitch a scoreless trouble free 9th inning in a tie game earlier this month. Using the closer in the 9th in tie game at home. The only game I have seen in person so far this season. He had a full count and with the lead he had, I would rather see him make sure the pitch was not ball four. Still, avoid those full counts when ever possible.
