During spring training, everyone was worried about the starting rotation.

When the season started, some have moaned about the team's hitting.

Has anyone been concerned about the relievers?

I sure am.

I know it's early, but outside of Joe and Pat, have anyone distinguish themselves?

It was no coincidence that Pat had to pitch in the seventh inning yesterday. Normally, Gardy uses either Denny, Jesse or Juan, but neither one has distinguish themselves for him to trust them in a spot like yesterday.

Those guys are going to have to turn it around, and there will be plenty of time. Hopefully, they will get it done because if they don't, they are in for a very long year.

I'd say other than Pat and Joe, I'm not totally confident in anybody. I know we have a very good bullpen, but for some reason I do need more assurance that Guerrier and Reyes and Crain can pitch well.

Mostly, I get nervous when Reyes is in the game in a tight situation.

Actually, Pat scares me at times.

When Pat faces good hitting teams, he tends to struggle. You saw that at Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, and now against the White Sox on Monday.

What Matt did the other day was disappointing, but then again, he has not had much work so I will give him a pass.

Personally, I get nervous whenever there is a close game no matter who is on the mound.

I do trust Pat and Joe to get the job done though.

i think the ballpen will get back on track i'm not totaly sold on Bass and Rincon but i like every body eles
