Should, but never do. They suck ass. Win the ****ing game. Erceg can pitch more than one inning every now and then.

It really isn't his fault the Royals traded for an injured shit pitcher in Harvey. He really only has 1 or 2 bullpen guys are worth a shit.

I kinda feel like McArthur is a FO play. Q is given the guy with the expectation he is a high leverage guy just because he can throw hard. Just give Will Smith or Long McArthurs situations

Harvey is mentally weak enough that he knows he doesn't belong there. He should be DFA'd tonight.

Can't lose these types of games and think you can make the playoffs

It wouldn't, Q is sort of stuck. 2 of his key bullpen guys are mental midgets and they both know they don't belong.

Boston is losing by 5 runs so there’s a good chance we don’t lose any ground on the last wild card.

[BWillie]

**** it. Pitch Bobby in relief. He could replicate a 5.5 era

[dlphg9]

If Bubic pitches the 8th or 9th and Erceg pitches the other inning, then we win this game. I'm not sure why QTardo would have Harvey close when the dude hasn't had a single outing that was remotely clean. Trying to stuff a square peg into a round hole.

[tk13]

Yeah at some point other arms have to step up. Q probably will need to be more aggressive somewhere along the way but that'll only win you one game. Then somebody like Hunter or McArthur will have to pick up the slack the next day or later in the series.

Is Harvey hurt or what? He was good the last 2 seasons

McArthur. He's been the closer all year and you use him 1 inning last night after what, 4 days of?

Well he left Sundays gave, but I would be willing to bet he's been hurt for a while and the Royals traded for him not knowing it.
