Make Room for Blackburn

[G-Fafif]

Tylor Megill has been optioned to clear space for Paul Blackburn. Edited August 2, 2024 by G-Fafif

Mendoza was saying that Tylor was going to be the 100-MPH bullpen guy. That didn't last long.

Maybe he's going to Syracuse on a bullet train.

There's plenty of time for that. But right now, he's the reliever-with-options-who-just-pitched-a-few-innings-of-long-relief guy, and all teams need that guy.

[Cowtipper]

Megill should've been traded.

Blackburn did better than I expected.

Blackburn DFA

[Fman99]

Short for damn ****ing awful I reckon.

He dominated here in Syracuse. Like it matters tho

[Cowtipper]

More like Bleakbum, because every time this bum pitched was bleak.

Another failed David Stearns transaction. We shipped off high-quality former third round pick Kade Morris for this guy!

Blackburn --> failure

Montas --> failure

Poche --> failure

Pop --> failure

Urena --> failure

Carrillo --> failure

Zuber --> failure

Helsley --> failure

Lovelady --> failure

Garza --> failure

Stanek --> failure

David Stearns --> failure

[Edgy MD]

Lest it go un-noted by anybody else, your accounting is arbitrary and inaccurate.

[Cowtipper]

Impossible, I'm always right. I'm infallible and without flaw. I'm 70% infallible and 40% without flaw. I never make a mistake.

[Edgy MD]

Blackyburny has cleared waivers and been released.

[MFS62]

Pack up all our cares and woes,

He really sucked.

Now, there he goes.

Bye Bye Blackburn.

My pick for dark horse of the year. Derided by some as his having a proven track record and therefore ineligible for consideration. I guess we’re both wrong

Signed by the Yanx

In fairness to Blackburn, he was good for 2-1/3 after coming in w/runners on and 2-out in 6th. He got out of that inning then pitched a scoreless 7th & 8th in a game which wasn't yet out of hand (5-1). But Yanx' bats did nothing while he was there before the roof fell in on him in the 9th. Under normal circumstances he would have been relieved after a couple runners. But he was essentially hired to give other relievers time off so Boone left him out to dry and he eventually faced 11 batters in top-9 and giving up 7 runs without even anyone warming in the pen.
