We can blame the relievers but ultimately Cora has to take the ownershipNYGFan_Section208 wrote: ↑5 years agoWhen people think it's not the money, or say it's not the money, it usually is the money.rambone 78 wrote: ↑5 years ago They have no one to blame but themselves for their bullpen issues.
People think they didn't keep Kimbrel because of money. Weak excuse.
I think there might have been other issues.
I think in this case, they just didn't want the combination of the money + his unreliability + his ineffectiveness in non-save sitches + inability to go two innings + inability to deal with coming in to a game with runners on +...+....
I'm ok with him not here....would still like a closer, just not him.
He pulls starters too soon. Yesterday did he have to only go 5 innings with his starter who was going great?
Barnes is an enigma. Sometimes looks great but when he’s bad he’s very bad and it’s easy to see early when he has no control. Cora is too slow to recognize when his pitcher is off. He is way too patient
Cora needs to go with staters longer especially when they are pitching well
