    Keep stacking bullpen arms. Where are all those idiots that were bashing click and crane after after luhow/hinch scandal. Just like crane spent big money on grienke he's been shown he wants to win now.

    I like Stone's conviction. He said it, and now he is doing it. Kinda nice.

    Keep on going!

    Yes. 15 of 18 saves is a nice bridge option to Pressly

    And if you take away his outing where he gave up 4 runs in 1 inning, his ERA is 2.57.

    I'd rather have Baez in that case. But Garcia is still better than Raley. Automatic win.

    Doesn't necessarily have to be elite, they just need more quality bullpen arms.

    And then if you take away his outing where he gave up 3 runs in 1/3 of an inning along with the aforementioned 4 in 1, his ERA drops to 1.80

    You get to have both if baez comes back healthy. You can have 4 people with potential to close coming in and pitching 6th through 9th. Especially good bc most of our starters don't make it past 6th

    Brooks Raley, Brandon Bielak, Andre Scrubb need to be replaced.

    Pedro Baez, Josh James need to be tried out at AAA first.

    Pedro Baez and Josh James are hittable, it doesn't matter that they throw 99 mph.
