Thanks Jerry for the absolute garbage bullpen, offense and thanks Dan for being a total idiot. Even Scott wasn’t this dumb.

No it doesn’t. Munoz has a history of pitching really bad man when it’s not an actual save. But Dan has the memory of a goldfish.DavidGee24 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2026 4:57 amUsually it works out fine.

Yeah, you want him sitting on the bench in that situation? I doubt it's because he's not focused enoughDavidGee24 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2026 4:57 amUsually it works out fine.

The Three Stooges are sitting in the stands, talking about the M's braintrust:
Nyuk nyuk nyuk!’ – Curly’s trademark laugh, used whenever he’s amused or nervous. This is perhaps the most famous of all Three Stooges quotes.
‘Soitenly!’ (Certainly!) – Curly’s mangled pronunciation became a staple in countless episodes.
‘I’m a victim of circumstance!’ – Delivered with perfect timing when Curly’s plans go awry.
‘Woo-woo-woo-woo!’ – His panic sound, often accompanied by running in circles.
‘Hey, Moe! Hey, Larry!’ – Curly calling for help in his distinctive falsetto.
‘You lamebrain!’ – Ironically said by Curly even though he’s usually the one being called that.
‘I’m tryin’ to think, but nothin’ happens!’ – After banging his head to ‘clear’ his mind.
‘Oh, a wise guy, eh?’ – Curly’s response to sarcasm, leading to more chaos.
‘Nyahh-ah-ahh!’ – Another signature vocalization when frustrated.
‘If at first you don’t succeed, keep on sucking till you do succeed!’ – A hilariously twisted motivational quote.

No, he doesn't. It just seems that way because people perpetuate that myth so often that it's just assumed.Southpaw773 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2026 4:58 amNo it doesn’t.

One season, a few years ago, Munoz was absolutely horrible in non-save situations. He was like sub 2.00 ERA in save situations and over 6.00 in non-save situations.DavidGee24 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2026 5:04 amNo, he doesn't.

--BUT--
Hasn't been true for him since then. For at least the last two season I think he's been just about the same no matter what the situation.
