I give you specifics and respond back with a long, long, long post asking for some. Amazing. Yes, possibly adding even just one more reliable bullpen arm helps this team that much. Jeffress isn’t reliable anymore. You made moves for guys, they should have been right here with us getting an opportunity.

 

If reference to Grisham, ya, sit either one of those two if you had to bring him up. If you aren’t willing to do that, send him back down. Not too hard of a concept there. Hell, Yelich has slumped recently, give him a day off.

 

Plenty of posts, including mine, have given many examples of possible fixes. Stearns has been reluctant to do anything other than a shuffle of the Jackson/Wilkerson/Barnes and whatever other turd we have rounding out the 40-man roster. Doing basically nothing isn’t working. Jolt the system a bit.

 

So your requested changes are sit Yelich and release Jeffress. Got it.

 

Well, we are done here. No point in a discussion when you pull crap like this. :laughing Foolish man. You look foolish.

 

Huh? Those were your ideas. Then you and others just seemed to be ranting because our bullpen sucks. Which is true, it does suck, but not for a lack of trying new arms. And then the lament becomes "cycling through bad players isn't working...try something new!" Huh? You mean like sticking WITH the bad arms and not cycling through guys? Well, no...get NEW guys.... Okay, Stearns has acquired 4 arms in the last week+. "Then PLAY those arms!" Lyles started last week and did well. Pomeranz pitched yesterday and did well. Black is working through stuff in AAA and Faria was optioned so he has to be down for 10 days.

 

"The bullpen sucks! Try something different! Sit Yelich for a day so Grisham can play against a lefty!"

Who has literally suggested sitting Yelich for Grisham, beyond Yelich getting a routine day off?

 

And yes, concrete suggestions that you're looking for have been made. Call up Black for Smith, try Supak in the rotation and keep Houser in the pen where he's so good, give Braun some starts at 1B again so you can work in Grisham in LF and CF, etc.
