It used to be they didn't have 4 good pitches. Get outs with 2 pitches. But it's evolved and many bullpen arms have 3 or 4 pitches. But some don't.

Philly has a really good team and they're tough at home. After tomorrow night, we <should> be able to get on a roll.

Impressive 4 out save.

Cool...we didn't get swept.

But we have prospects in the minor leagues who may help us win games in 2028. Or never even make the majors.

I was being sarcastic. Trying not to be negative by saying wait until the bullpen comes on.

That sample size of an ineffective Vest outside of the 9th inning is getting bigger for all you non-believers?

It's nice having a lead with a great starting pitcher on the mound.

That would give new meaning to...Dodger!!

I worked with a guy who was into Nascar and I was giving him a hard time about how stupid I thought it was that people got into watching people drive in circles. He was quiet for a bit and then informed me, "sometimes they drive in figure eights." LMAO I've heard it's one of the most popular sports in the country and I've mellowed. If people wanna get into it, fine. To each his/her own.

Yeah, I read it was #1 in trade crossings but as low as #9 in total crossings. I"m not sure how old this is but it's probably less now; https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-busiest-border-crossings-in-the-united-states.html

Huh...I always thought Detroit-Windsor was the busiest border crossing?

The Pirates scored 9 runs in the 1st inning against Colorado. And lost!!

But it's great that we have ~15 prospects in the minors who may help us win games in 2029. Or not...

Skubal needs to pull a Mickey Lolich...3 complete games in a 4 game series. Really earn that $400 million contract. /s

Use his closer in the 7th inning? He tried using him in the 8th inning last week. Even worse results.

Definition of insanity rule. Expecting different results? How did that work out for Mr Big Brain Hinch?

Too soon....

Yzerman had an excuse. Limited talent to offer up. Which, yeah, IS his fault.

I thought i was the only one with the knee-jerk reactions? It's good to see I'm not alone. 😅😅

Maybe Hinch should only use Vest in the 9th inning? Last week against Toronto;

A very winnable game. Those hurt more than getting blown out.

But at least we have 50 great minor league players who may be in the major leagues some day....or not.

Game over. Philly traded for a real closer.
