Can Erin Andrews pitch from the bullpen?
Probably not, MFin04, but if the Bravos need a reliever they can always sign Mike Vick to come in from the pit-bullpen. Of course he may not be available at this precise moment.

Wayne in Utah – Do you honestly think a Cox apologist has any credibility in my book? Really, you’re so busy making excuses for bad plays and decisions, I don’t see how you have any time to enjoy the game.

I understand everyone wanting to see Hanson up but why is everyone so eager to write-off Tommy G. Would you have done the same to Smotlz. The guy has earned a shot after all the hard rehab stuff he has been through. Lets wait and watch.

Well, maybe I spoke too soon, O’flaherty can’t pitch to righties after all. At leastBobby’s bringing in Carlysle. At least we know he will throw strikes.

Well Bennett is yet to give up an earned run, came in today and held the lead. Did give up an inherited run on what I believe was a ground ball single. Gave us 2 innings when we really needed it. Is that enough? Take your turnip truck out of town.

Why use O’Flaherty as anything other than a LOOGY? It’s just absurd. Can’t blame him for being unable to do a job he has no business doing.

In comes Buddy. Looks like Bobby may be taking my advice and using Boyer for only mop up duties. I highly doubt he’s saving him to close the game. One of those guys who worked the past two games may have to go again. They do have the day off tomorrow.

This bullpen is something else, this problem isnt going away anytime soon. Wren and Bobby need to do something soon.

brvs1fan Ha, are you going to explain why Boyer should be on the team? Or does that mean you’re now abandoning him?
>And by the way Jeffo, I don’t feel qualified to be able to determine who “obviously belongs on the roster” and who doesn’t.
Well, I’ve been watching since 1982 and am a very good judge of talent! With that said, of course its just my opinion.

Boyer’s going to pitch the 9th. The pitcher’s spot is due up, and there’s no way Carlyle bats.
