    Why I hate Bullpens (Part 1)

    Dodgers vs Cubs.

    Dodgers have 1-0 lead for 99.9% of game. Potential last inning Dodgers send Troncoso out to close.

    First pitch fastball(Slow as ****) down the pipe. *Crack* First swing of @bat home run, subsequently game tied 1-1.

    I agree 100% last year I LOST alot more than I won due to late inning bullpen pitchers.

    I dont get why people get made when their spring training bets lose.

    Didnt bet the game, and never said I did.

    I dont bet spring training. If I wanted to throw away money I would have a bonfire, and invite friends.

    Secondly Dodgers won the game.

    I like to play first five innings in order to avoid the bullpens entirely

    when you look at a game you may wager on, work backwards from the bullpen to the starter on the pitching side

    if you want less bullpen then dont bet on pitcher who do not last long on average or does not hand the ball over to a good set-up man. Bullpen pitchers usually suck besides closer and 1 or 2 setup men

    These guys sleep in the 'pen while a starter's out there busting his ass off. They can barely get the crust out of their eyes and BAM! They've blown it.

    Now it's the Cardinals' turn.

    Seriously, you'd figure you could find someone to get guys out for millions of dollars.

    Take the first 5 if you really hate them that much. Otherwise, take them into account while you cap a game and quit complaining. There is a reason why bad teams are always underdogs even when they have a solid starter going.

    This thread is for comedic purposes. You are posting on an internet forum. Settle down, and stop taking what is typed on a keyboard too seriously.

    Brian Fuentes can go to Hell. I had Under 7 in the Seattle/A's. 2-2 in the top of the 8th, and then this bum tries to throw the game.


    Brian Fuentes pitching for OaklandSEAOAK

    B Fuentes relieved G Balfour.


    Ja Wilson singled to left.
    M Saunders sacrificed to first, Ja Wilson to second.
    M Olivo hit for A Moore.
    M Olivo singled to center, Ja Wilson to third.
    I Suzuki reached on infield single to first,
    Ja Wilson scored,
    M Olivo to second,
    M Olivo to third on throwing error by first baseman D Barton.


    M Olivo scored, I Suzuki to second on wild pitch by B Fuentes.
    I Suzuki stole third.
    C Figgins hit sacrifice fly to center, I Suzuki scored.
    M Bradley flied out to left.


    Fukking BUM

    That is why I don't put as much weight on the starting pitcher when picking a team to bet on.

    definitely can take a look at the blue jays last nite. I was on Mariners and was shocked that they won because I stopped paying attention after they were down 5-0. Jays pen is one of the worst especially last yr when they had Gregg
