Looking good so far. I think I saw one of the beats say his pitch limit would be around 75 pitches today, so he may come back out, but one more inning at the most.

Burger misplayed 2 pop flies today in the infield. I'll give you one but two is problematic, even in this wind

Burgers bar is better than his glove. This should be long over.

One of these days, you'd think this organization would figure out what the closer profile looks like, and sign somebody like that. Building an entire bullpen out of retreads …meh

This pitcher needs some Ricky Vaughn glasses. He apparently can't see the plate.

8 innings of domination and then got away with some bullpen BS

Already feeling better about Cutch at the plate in crunch time than most of the lineup.

I hope Burger shags a crap ton of fly balls! Unreal.

lol Adolis's face cover when it's what 50-something is ridiculous. Makes me think of Leody's hoody in Chicago last year when he couldn't move in the OF. If you can't handle the weather just gtf off the field lol

Still love the guy though from 2023 tho

He's just the latest to blame. We don't value that closer role…

The first was understandable, but the 2nd was clearly off the plate.

Agreed. I think the last time we had a sure fire closer, we traded him for an inning of a washed up Cory Kluber. Granted, said closer is facing Federal gambling charges, but it would have been nice to have time the past few years.
Blame it on CY.

Even I'm our Championship season we trotted out Will Smith and never really seemed to find a consistent closer.

We trotted out Will Smith because Ardolis Chapman (an all-star closer) became unreliable.

Which kind of supports the point that spending a lot on a closer doesn't make good financial sense. If your team is bad, an expensive closer doesn't help you. If your team is good, there's still a pretty good chance your expensive closer isn't dominant.
