So seriously, in the first 8.1 innings of the season

the bullpen has given up 6 runs. Ugly, fellas.

Here's my issue

The second a closer blows a save, he should be done. If you’re only gonna bring him in to get the save, then he comes out the second he blows it. Dumb roster management is one thing, but it you’re going to be dumb, be consistent.

Oh yeah, it’d help if

1.) we could score runs like literally every other team in the major leagues.
2.) our pitcher would take command and throw a ball to first base instead of letting the catcher handle it.
3.) our third baseman would follow the fundamental rule of Little League and get the out over the riskier play at home to save a run.
4.) our players knew how to lay off fastballs at the eyes.

But it’s the third game of the season, so really, no big deal. Except that it’s annoying as hell to watch the Angels on the East Coast, so it’s doubly irritating when they manage to suck at 1 AM.

yup that one play by figgy changed the entire game........

so what if you give up one run……….get the 2nd out…….Shields K’s the guy for out 3……..and you go into the ninth with a 3 run lead……and “possibly” Fuentes doesnt think he has to be too fine.

Napoli for the dropped play at home and allowing that shitty Suzuki chopper to keep the game alive?

Fuentes for the meltdown?

Or Figgy for opening the floodgates?

Fuentes...

If he could get people out like a closer SHOULD do, we’d be off doing something else right now….

The guy just has ZERO intimidation factor, and I haven’t seen his fast ball up above 90 yet!

While he should have gone to first, his throw had clearly beaten the runner and Naps didn’t hang on to it. Just bad luck that Napoli is a bit rusty at this point in time, given it was his first start of the season and first in several days maybe even a week?
