Looks like Bote initiated talks and wanted to get a long term deal done.

3mill per year is about right for a 1WAR player, right?

Does seem a bit weird to get his deal done when apparently they have no money and need to get deals done for the big names but whatever.

This is - by far - the worst bullpen I’ve ever seen. We won’t win a single game that’s put into the hands of this bullpen. 

The thing is it shouldn't be this bad. It's not a good group, but it's also not the worst bullpen in the league, even with Morrow out.

It's weird that even guys that are consistently good, like Cishek and Strop, are suddenly blowing games for us.

This team is about to be sellers by the end of the month. 

I'm worried, but not too worried yet. 

I think our SP's will get better and our bullpen. 

Darvish is the only Starter I'm really worried about right now.

Did KB and Heyward somehow switch bodies?  

But great to see 11 straight innings of scoreless baseball from the beleaguered bullpen.  I really like what I saw from Allen Webster.  Joe wasn't thinking when he threw him in there with runners on against Braun for his first appearance.  He was nails the next day.

Up to 17 now. 

That’s nice.

Getting our first series win also nice.

4-8, still not nice.
