Maybe a bullpen game isn't the greatest idea when 7 of your 9 bullpen guys suck.

We need to strongly consider cutting Perez. Just does nothing

Voth and Akin are generally passable. Baumann, Baker, Coloumbe, Cano, and Bautista are fine.

Perez sucks.

We need someone else that can get guys out and provide length.  Perez was good last year but they can not continue to run him out there.  It looked like he was getting better but the last 2 outings have been rough.

Home run follows... tied at 5.

 

This is going to be a game where all 8 BP guys pitch.

 

They had 9 today. And they are likely going to need them all. I suspect if they have to, Kremer can go a couple innings too.

Perez sucks.

I guess I have a different viewpoint on what is passable for a reliever. Akin has an era over 5 and Voth is 4.71. That isn't cutting it for me.

Akin and Voth are passable as guys who can give you multiple low-leverage innings. Every BP needs 1-2 of those. They're just being misused today due to piss poor roster management.

Mountcastle is really bad right now.

I'm shocked he's having a better May than April. April would've been bad, bad if not for that Oakland series.

I feel like Mountcastle starts every at bat at 0-2.

Usually having swinging at two low and away breaking balls in the dirt.

I'd consider Cowser for LF/RF, Hays wherever you don't want Cowser, Mullins in CF, and Santander for the majority 1B/DH when everyone is healthy.

Add Givens to the list of BP arms who just aren't that good.

Akin has been in 15 games and pitched 13 innings.

Voth has been in 18 games and pitched 26 innings.

 

Dont look like multiple inning guys to me. Now as to them being misused due to piss poor roster management. Yup.
