If he can go 98/87 with command, that would be great.

If you could start putting cover sheets on those tps reports, that’d be great

Something about a bad boss. I don’t get the point of the comment.

You said in your comment, that would be great, and the boss in this movie says that all the time, in a funny slow voice, and he is usually talking about the cover sheet on the TPS report.

Thanks. Never saw that show, although I guess if I watched it, that would be great.

Not a show – A MOVIE

The Office is a TV show.

Office Space is a movie by the same guy who did Beavis and Butthead. Comedy Gold

Whenever I see the words “that would be great” I instantly think of Lumbergh in Office Space.

Bachman’s slider is an elite pitch.

He was definitely going for grand slam. His # of slam remains at only one between USA and Japan.

Although if we were in the NL Central, 3 games over is a strong contender.

Neto, Bachman, Joyce

It’s good stuff

Bachman & Soriano are encouraging bullpen arms. Joyce other the hand will still be more of a work in progress.

I’m still not sure why the Angels wouldn’t give Yovan a shot

Amazing the work that Perry has done with the bullpen this year. It went from trash to full of young flamethrowers.

Devenski and Webb were phenomenal vet signings as well.

Devenski is one of those arms you don’t resign as there is nothing in the past 4-7 years that provides any indication he could be throwing up zeros like this

I dont know. He’s younger than the  💩 and hes only a couple years removed form Tommy John Surgery so as long as his fastball veto stays up where it is now. he should be fine next year now 2-3 years from now that might be a better story.

I have no idea if Bachman will ever become a reliable SP. Worst case, he’s a dominant reliever for a decade.

Elite FB-Slider combo

Joyce did not have it today, but he is a rookie. We just have to be patient, and hope that he will achieve some consistency. And we should do the same for Bachman.

He did not have it on Saturday either.

The knock on Bachman’s draft profile was reliever risk.

No shame in becoming a star reliever. Would be awesome if he can develop into a starter
