I am just so tired of this bullpen not ever being able to hold anything down, it gets ridiculous after awhile. on a lighter note, victor santos looked stellar thus far!
His pitch selection was poor, but the bags were full, right? Pretty tough spot.
Re: Todd Coffey is a Joke!
Get used to the bullpen...WK spent so much time and money on "upgrading" the pen and it doesn't look a whole lot better than last year.
Re: Todd Coffey is a Joke!
He was brought into a bad situation and got 2 hitters to put the ball on the ground. Unfortunately one of them found a hole in the infield.
It's one game.
Re: Todd Coffey is a Joke!
but it wasn't one game last season. when did he fail last year? when he was put into the closers role and had some pressure put on him. as far as im concerned guys that can't perform under pressure are worthless, he's no more than a mop up guy. you could tell he was going to choke when he came in, by the way he was breathing heavy, he has the stuff to be great, but he doesn't have that killer mentality like good relievers do which makes him even more frustrating to me.

That probably has something to do with his inclination to sprint to the mound, which I really wish he would stop doing.

I don't like Coffey either but what can you do about it

Or maybe it's a bad Mike Fetters impression.

We can't do anything, but what is this message board for?

It was founded on the idea of intelligent discussion. :dunno:
Re: Todd Coffey is a Joke!
Coffey made DeRosa chop the ball on the ground...it found a hole. Coffey was brought into a tough spot, bases loaded, 1 out. This limits pitch selection, because the pitcher doesn't want to fall behind in the count.
Coffey does need to start coming through in situations like this, but allowing a seeing eye single tonight, on a good piece of hitting by DeRosa isn't the end of the world.
160 games left kids.
Re: Todd Coffey is a Joke!
oh, well pardon me, i guess i considered this intellegent conversation. Personally, I considered that a crucial time in the game.

Did you ever open a thread, read through it, and then wish you hadn't?
EDIT: Thanks for that post, 6-4-3. I didn't see that it had been posted until I made this post and the page reloaded.
