[Patchmk88]

I’m not sure we have a capable reliever in the pen.

[LoneStarPhan]

Guess we see how the new Lefty does tonight.

Burning through the pen we go.

[Patchmk88]

He’s treating this like a playoff game and rightfully so at this point. Can’t afford to lose.

[Patchmk88]

Problem is, our bullpen has been the worst in baseball lately.

[ButlerBulldog]

I’m not sure we have a capable reliever in the pen.

I’m beginning to think that part of problem is Kapler’s bullpen management. Nobody seems to know what his role is or how or when he’ll be used.

[LoneStarPhan]

Hunter comes through again. Can we get 3 more outs without the Nationals scoring again? I sure hope so.

[Patchmk88]

Wow a shutdown inning (even though it didn’t start out that way). I’ve been looking. Is there a place that shows bullpen innings by team?

[LoneStarPhan]

I have campaigned for a 5 player bench next season but I am afraid we could see a 3 player bench. Kapler clearly would like a 9 man bullpen.

[Patchmk88]

I’m not happy with his bullpen craziness throughout the year but agree with what he has done tonight. This is an absolute must win so you have to have a quick hook, especially with a day off tomorrow.
