They need to send Doval out and teach him how to pitch. IDGAS what kind of stuff he has. He just has no clue. Ditto Selman.

And Lex IDGAS about how tough it is to get a closer. The bullpen has lost multiple games. They need to have a real stopper in the pen and they need to part with a prospect.

+1.  That bullpen is a nightmare.  They need to dump most of them, though I would add Zack Littell to the "good" list (0.00 ERA, 9 appearances, 1.050 WHIP).  Really shows you the value of Affeldt, Romo, Javvy, Mota, Wilson, heck I'd even take Runzler or Ramirez or Kontos over this crew.  What I wouldn't give for Yusmeiro Petit, Will Smith, Tony Watson right now...or Heath Hembree (0.00, 9 appearances) or Sam Coonrod (1.00, 18 appearances in Philly's bandbox)...and guess who has a 1.69 ERA in 16 appearances?  That's right, the guy who ended Mike Morse's career, Hunter Strickland.  Still remember the night that my family had really nice seats (rare for us), it was the 9th inning and the Giants had a 4-2 lead.  Then they brought in Strickland.  I told everyone "let's go, right now."  We were at the car just as Miami scored the fifth (and winning) run.  Strickland got one out, gave up three runs and took both the blown save and the loss.  We probably got home right around the time Strickland was punching the wall and breaking his hand.
