Why the fuck are they pulling Bundy ? Is he hurt ? 

[Skankhunt42]

What's the over/under on HR's given up by the pen today?

They’re going to have to a spend.  They’ve got like 2/3rds of a team to get under contract 

And they're going to do exactly what they did this past offseason because Arte has clearly capped it.

Maddon is fucked in the head

[HeavenlyHalos]

Gray is a free agent so he would be my choice. I would also trade adell for someone young with years left like Alcantara.

Because he's terrible today.  Pretty simple.

I’m sure his BP replacement will fare much better

I think sometimes you eat shit and try to be better next time.  Now we’re raping the bullpen in a game that’s probably already over.  Very sad.  Dislike.  VERY SAD.

Where’s that ‘The Good Life’ reset button?

[UndertheHalo]

Why does Maddon think Slegers is a multi inning reliever?

I've questioned a lot of Maddon's moves this year, but this seems like a move that pretty much every manager would make. Bundy was getting hit hard and didn't look comfortable.

GO ANGELS!!!

Go Dylan Bundy!!!! Please, just go!!

Only 116 games to offseason, apparently.

I think in the context of this specific game you’re right.  But the way our pitchers fail to get through 3 innings constantly.  At some point you have to stop doing this.  If he’s hurt.  Fine.

should have traded Bundy last year when he had value.

Bringing in the BP to pitch 5+ innings every single day is not sustainable. Sometimes you just have to roll with the SP even if he’s sucking.

Madison’s known for his gimmicks on occasion—bringing in exotic animals and what not into the clubhouse. Dare I say, is it boa time again for this circus of a team? That or back up a dumpster with manure onto the field. Try shock therapy, anything at this point.

Butera has a .265 OPS.

That's good right?

Simply sign Correa and Stroman this offseaon.

Why would Gray want to come here?

[UndertheHalo]

Simply sign Correa, Stroman, and Gray.

We’re going to see Adell soon imo
