Bullpen 6.04 ERA for September, 2nd worst in the league, are doing their part for the tank. Gawd they're awful.
We'd probably be back at .500 now if we'd just had an average bullpen performance since the trade deadline.
We'd probably be in the playoffs if we'd had an average bullpen performance for the season.
It's the worst I've ever seen, and I've seen this team have some bad bullpens over the last 30 years.

They said on the radio today that Varsho is done for the season. Is that simply because of the schedule that’s left?
I’m glad they are. We’ve been winning a bunch which is fun but hurts our draft position

Looks like they are saying he needs rotator cuff surgery. So he is done for a while. Might even bleed into Spring Training, according to John Schneider
I know WAR for relievers is dicey at best, but Colorado is 29th in the league with 0.1 fWAR from the pen and the Jays are 30th... at -3.0 fWAR. That's WILD.
In terms of Jays bullpens, the worst ever coming into this year was -1.1 in 1984.
Just crazy. One of the better pens in the league last year, then they brought everyone back (including a now healthy Chad Green) and became one of the worst we've ever seen.
It's one of those crazy things you see in sports sometimes where it's worst-case outcomes for almost everyone and best-case outcomes for almost nobody.
If you ran the 2024 bullpen through a simulation 1000 times, this would probably be the single worst result.

They just aren’t bothering to pitch to him anymore. He’s getting IBB’d twice as much as the next guy (Judge) over the last month
Also had that game a week or so ago where he fouled two balls off his foot and was limping badly.

What a disastrous season for Bo. A finger contusion. It sucks, he just got back but can't play tonight. There are only 10 games left.

No Bo tonight. Sounds like he broke a nail. I hope we shop him in the summer and get something decent in return.
Shut him down already, he looked so out of shape last night.
Pennies on the dollar
That play by Barger was really good. Such a strong arm.
A few guys on the Jays wouldn't have scored on that.

There ya go. Nightmare season is over for Bo.

f***, very unfortunate. I was hoping to have his season end on a good note. This sucks.

Once I heard he missed last night's game due to a "finger contusion", on some fluke grounder that must've bit him I guess, I figured this would be the next step.
Should be an interesting offseason; his value's never been lower.
Hopefully the same will be true in an effort to re-signing him.

And yet again, the reports of Vladdy’s death have been greatly exaggerated. Bat still goes boom.
