How is our bullpen this bad man. It seems they can’t just put up 0s ever

Zero command.

Terrible move to bring in Varland.

Should've gone Yariel.

Having a struggling bullpen is such a second life to other teams psychologically.

Varland’s 98 may be the most hittable 98 in the majors

I dunno why

Need to add more runs. As I said before, a 4 run margin is not enough. Need the deficit for the Mariners to be at least 5 runs.

It's gonna be a butt clenching 9 outs... unless the offense can give us more cushion.

Dude Varland was our prized pickup. Who else would you go to here? Dominguez? Yariel? Lmao, little? He’s literally out best option… our bullpen just sucks. Idk why bassitt isn’t getting warm. They put him on the roster and haven’t used him all series. Also Seattle hasn’t seen him yet…

His 101 is pretty hittable sometimes lol he doesnt have a lot of movement on his fastball and hes definitely pretty gassed now.

They fall behind batters, too. That's on the FO for not getting us better arms. :curse:
