Turn the page. Bounce back. And, maybe, try throwing strikes?

Last 7 days of Bullpen Issues

Harris is going to need to upgrade this by the deadline or we will flame out again

I think there is a cascading effect of losing meadows steady defense in center…lots of guys moving around…plus Gleyber looks like a corpse.

offense and starting pitching will be fine in the macro…bullpen and defense I have no idea.

[Tigermojo]

Bone head throwing errors by Javy, De Jesus and Flaherty have cost them about half a dozen runs in the past week.

Good news is Melton may be ready for rehab soon.

Any stat that shows Burch Smith as your best BP arm is flawed. Or just cherry picked.

[Sports_Freak]

The strategy of these bullpen arms nibbling around the corners until they fall way behind in the count and then have to pour fastball over the middle of the plate? Yeah, it isnt working. Fix them, Fetter.

Or do we suddenly have an entire pitching staff (except for Skubal) who can't throw strikes? I dont believe that.

Flaherty pitching today.

I’m pet sitting cats this weekend at my daughter and son-in-law‘s place and just realized that because this is on FOX I can watch it on their YouTube TV account instead of taking the 25 minute drive home to watch it on my mlb.tv account via a major thoroughfare suffering multiple accidents today and myriad annoying speed traps. But I don’t know how enthusiastic I am to even follow this contest after last night‘s debacle. I probably will though because it’s more entertaining than watching four cats sleep or stalk each other.
