TIGERS Bullpen?

Question

What is going on??

The bullpen has cost us a few games already this season......including tonight against chicago...


whats going on?

Answer 1

I would say it is more Rodney than anything. Of all The Tiger's losses---half of them belong to Rodney.

He's not hurting (as some have said), he's just a little out of sync.

That's okay though. Get all these ugly losses over with early so that come August/Septemeber it wont happen.

Answer 2

Rodney is hurt, I don't care what he says. You don't lose velocity on your fastball unless you're either old, which he isn't or hurting. Lesser velocity on his fastball means his change isn't as effective. Grilli and Durbin are both bums. Losing Walker hurt a lot. Last year when he came in, it was almost an automatic out for any lefty he faced.

Rodney is the key though. He's supposed to hand Zumaya and Jomnes a lead, and he hasn't been getting the job done.

Answer 3

Well, maybe it is that last year was a fluke as was the year before for the White Sox. The Tigers are just NOT the same in any category. Notice we haven't even heard from Georgie Porgie lately, the number one Tiger fan. I think he is waiting for them to begin to play as well as they did last year. He has a LONG wait.

Chow!!

Answer 4

well, they won tonight. but it was scary. zumaya didn't look like the zumaya i know. loading the bases and walking runners in? geez. if i want that, put todd jones in. but yea, the bullpen has sucked this year. they need to get with it. atleast we have a few guys in toledo that can step up and help out if our guys now crap out. zach miner, and jordan tata are due.

Answer 5

I LIVE IN DETROIT IM A BIG TIGERS FAN BUT ITS LOOKING LIKE LAST TEAR WAS A FLUK
