So many pitchers, so few choices

 

There are 12 fucking pitchers on our ALCS roster. 12. And the bullpen is threadbare.

You get past Weaver and Kahnle and Hill is the only serviceable arm out there. Maybe we need to call on Stroman. Somebody has to give our Big Two some rest. They can't come in again today and also tomorrow.

We have slack and nobody there to pick it up.

Cashman, as usual, did nothing for the bullpen at the trading deadline. Every guy he picked up off various scrap heaps or scrap teams is gone. (Hill being the only somewhat pleasant surprise, so you know how bad the rest of them were.)

Maybe we should have hung on to Caleb Ferguson. Or dug up Maynard Ferguson. Or given Marinaccio more of a chance instead of putting him on waivers. Or...or...something. Anything.

Boone is an idiot, yes, no question. But who the hell is there to bring in when he needs to quell the opposition? No-fucking-body.

I would love to see Gil put in one of his great seven-inning games tonight, but I doubt it. If we need middle relief, it's got to be Stroman. Weaver's arm is going to fall off.

Which means that, basically, we don't have a great chance at going up 3-1 tonight. A far greater chance at ending up 2-2. 

But if Boone can just give Weaver and Kahnle a break so they can pitch effectively tomorrow before the day off Sunday, I'll frustratedly take 2-2 with three left. If those guys spend tonight in the jacuzzi, we have a much better chance of winning tomorrow and Monday.

Fucking Cashman. The incompetent, arrogant, shitheaded asshole.
