Bad bullpens are the worst

Bad defense pisses me off more because at least with the pen the hitter has some say.  But a bad bullpen is totally demoralizing, no doubt.

On a somewhat related topic, where is Matt Vasgersian lately?  I thought he was still supposed to be the primary play by play guy, but I haven't heard him on any of the recent games.  I did see somewhere that the broadcast crew was trying to work with a remote cast with MV on the east coast remotely calling some games.  But I haven't seen anything more about his status.

They ditched the remote because the quality was bad, so Matty V has a hard time casting in person from the east coast

[CaliAngel]

Oh shit the pitcher threw a strike and Mike trout of all people, made an out.

Catch Matt's daily (M-F) New York betting show on MLBN, 2 p.m. Pacific. He may show up for the 3 Yankees games.

Mike Trout has been doing the pitcher's job for them all game long.

Bad day.

That's unusual for this game.

You gotta figure the Jays are at the point where their relievers have to be shitty too...

They sat in on the whole organizational meeting stuff.  Angels don't discriminate.

[bloodbrother]

I guess the big picture here is that it's a lot easier to fix a pen during the season than it is the rotation or offense, etc. I've been pleasantly surprised by the rotation so far this year, and we already figured the offense would be good with the guys they had in the lineup. Defense also has been much improved from last year

Perry gonna need to invest more in the pen even after spending money in the offseason on it, unfortunately.

Meanwhile you'd rather have them throw balls and walk batters because "throwing stikes" is not their job.

Dumb.

No, like i stated, I'd rather have them get batters out. 

[Blarg]

nice job top of the lineup, looked like champs.

We are going to need Rengifo to win this one today.

Shitty relievers are something Toronto has generally managed not to have for about the past couple of decades,

Are there some kind of wrong think rules on this board that I've missed?

How dare someone have a different opinion!

As if I care what people on a messaging board think.

Take a chill pill, brah.

 

"You're an idiot dude.  You're the laughing stock of the board.  Everyone thinks you're a dumbass.  Take your two years of catching experience at university college out of here"

 

Point out where I'm wrong brah

Fuck you Trout you unclutch douchebag.

Dispiriting. This game.

They've got to right this ship quickly...

[CaliAngel]

Oh wow a pitcher showing up a day after he pitched what a novel idea was this an organizational decision? I didn't know they were allowed to do that.

[fan_since79]

Jays preparing to put this game out of reach.

O'Neil: "Tepera worked his way out of a bases loaded jam... well 3 runs did come in but, it could have been worse."

You seem to not know quite a few things.

Even with Ohtani, the only reason this team even has a chance ever is because Trout carries them on his back. He can't do it all the time. If anyone tries harder than Trout to win and succeed I'd like to see them.

Gotta find positives any way you can with this bullpen right now.
