Its only 3 games, but in the sample size, the bullpen is shit.

The buillpen. Man this could be epic bad. Early, very early, but this could be the year we can't just rely on the Magic of Coop

You very well may be right. A lot of it is probably nerves in that we have a mixture of pretty young guys never put in a role like this before and a couple of guys coming back from significant injuries. To me, most of it is getting behind in counts as well as trying to rush it in. We'll see but they cannot afford to wait too long with these guys. The telling stat in game three was half of the runs scored by the Twinkies were put on with walks.

I am thinking we might see Axelrod in the pen. He's got experience. With our schedule we can't let these easier games go these first two weeks.

I'm thrilled with some of the young acquisitions to the team, especially Abreu and Eaton.

On the flipside of that, our pitching is pretty damn bad outside of Sale and maybe Cleto. I don't expect we'll see much improvement in terms of wins over last season.

So, with the state of the starting rotation and bullpen, I see us battling it out with the Twins, Cubs and Stros for worst record in the league.

2016 is the year we turn the corner and re-gain control of the division.

I know it's only like 6 games but i'm concerned with the lack of BB's again by the hitters.

My philosophy with young pitchers especially is to get them not to nibble when they are ahead. Rather try to put a hitter away. It is one thing when you have an experienced guy out there who has command. He can nibble a bit because he has good control. Young guys typically do not have that yet(some never). If you get ahead of a guy, try and put him away early. Also move the guy off of the plate. Put doubt in his mind.
