    Dodgers bullpen ERA is 4.62.
    It’s not even just guys not performing, it’s who the fuck do you ever trust?

    Shopping could be pretty tough for the Dodgers since the most attractive suitors are probably the fucking Giants. I believe that Zaidi would trade with us, but I would damn well bet that their owners would refuse. The next problem is that the pickin's from the many crappy AL teams are going to be slim as many of their bullpens are garbage. It could be tough and the club may need to do what they did in the Floro deal and locate a guy or two that was being improperly used. Not a lot of great options out there and if Kenley really is as stubborn as is being reported, getting Kimbrel may not realistically be in the cards either.

    If that is true then Andrew Friedman, Dave Roberts and whoever else is in charge are a bunch of pathetic pussies. Don't give Jansen a choice. If he does not like it ohhhhhhhhhhh fucking well.

    It is already working out.
    The FO is giving Dave instructions for the catcher to give Jansen.
    Jansen wants to work his shit out on his own because taking the FO's instruction fucks with his mojo.
    Normally that would not fly... but he's a closer. Mojo is what separates a closer from a good reliever.
    He may believe that if he does what the FO wants he will not have his mojo.
    He wants his mojo so his role as closer can't be challenged.
    This issue between the FO and Kenley will produce good fruits imo.
    Kenley will continue to ignore the FO and get his mojo back = win!
    Kenley ignores the FO and does not get his mojo back so the FO has the cover to sign Kimbrel = win!

    Of course it's true. From Guggs all the way to Roberts.

    Prediction: Rockies for Kimbrel
    Davis has run into some health stuff and I don't see them giving up after having spent some this past offseason

    Do you know what's up with Cingrani. I know he has been rehabbing but haven't heard in a bit of time. He alone won't tip the balances a huge amount in our favor but it will lengthen the pen.

    Pretty sure they gave Wade Davis $50M, but I guess that was last offseason
    Blackmon got paid too

    Daniel Murphy as well
    Rockies have shelled out some cash and aren't dead in the standings. Not completely, anyway

    This FO will spend precious cash and luxury tax to get an upgrade in the BP. Their model is to tantalize but never climax. This way they can tease for years instead of having to deal with a Gnat like rebuild situation.

    Apparently he is still in OKC 6.1 IP through the month. Last outing on the 21st was the .1 and it was a hit, walk and ER... that doesn't look great on the surface and I've heard nothing else.

    Watch...

    AF will somehow convince Kimbrel to take a tax friendly rental deal near the deadline and then text Dave in game 7, ordering him to leave him seething in the pen while Kenley blows the series with a 5 out save attempt.

    Dave says "And, ummmmm" 47 times, with conviction, while fumbling through many questions why at the presser....

    FUCKTARD GENIUS ON DISPLAY!
