No Varland, No Rogers, let's go blowout!

[RA Whiffleball]

Now, now, bullpen is fine, I've been told.

All we need is 5 innings from Cease, and Tommy and the Boys will bring it home!

Rogers is probably a yellow light

He did do three separate three-in-a-rows last year 

[Laika]

Anyway, won't need a save because Suarez is going to serve up 10 runs

If it's a close game, who gets the 9th?

I'm pencilling in Cease for 5-6 innings. 

Miles could give you 1-2 innings, 1 inning out of Flu, 1 inning out of Rogers, and possibly Hoffman. 

Fisher has pitched in 3 of the last 5.

But knowing JS, he will throw Tommy Nance out there... 

[Brownie19]

Just put him on ignore Spanky.

It's hilarious how triggered you get over the bullpen. (haha)

According to you the bullpen as it's currently "constituted" (lmao) isn't enough to handle 162

Last years bullpen most innings pitched:

1. Yariel (72.0)

2. Little (68.1)

3. Hoffman (68.0)

4. Flu (52.2)

5. Fisher (48.2)

6. Green (43.2 ) (Hahaha)

 7. Nance (31.2)

8. Lauer (30.2)

 

That bullpen can survive 162 plus win an American League Championship title and this years can't?

Yariel and Little with the most innings is wild.

Yariel and Little were carrying our bullpen in the 1st half of last year.  Funny how both are in AAA so fast, which was what your point probably was lol.

Absolutely wild.

And the third most innings belongs to our recently demoted closer. Both Yariel and Little are still around though, and while their walk rates are still too high in AAA, every other stat is pretty stellar and there is a chance either could return and regain dominant form. Hoffman could also right the ship.

But if they don't we still have full years of Varland, Rogers, Yimi should be back soon and then Flu, Fisher, Nance and Lauer who were all big contributors last year as well.

Then you add in the fact that Atkins will likely add another arm or two mid season when/if needed, worrying abut the state of this bullpen is a fool's folly.
