Name a bullpen pitcher from your team that gives you PTSD
April 3, 2024
As a Reds fan, for me it's the legend of Yovani Gallardo and his almost 31 ERA

Aaron Loup. Any time he came into the game I feared for my life. Bro gave me soooo many heart attacks. Angels Loup was something else man
Lol…. 3 games and 2.1 innings pitched as a Red and he is giving you PTSD? Barely a blip on the radar.
Daniel Bard.
Currently: Clay Holmes
Past: Aroldis Chapman, Kyle Farnsworth, Juan Acevedo, Brian Bruney, and Esteban Loiaza.
I’m sure there’s more. But that’s who jumps to mind. I don’t want to disrespect, some of these guys had good careers and some good moments, but I was normally scared when they came in.
Aaron Heilman
Tim Worrell and Mark Melancon
As a Tigers fan, I can do a Mount Rushmore of ’em: Todd Jones, Fernando Rodney, Gregory Soto, and Phil Coke.
Not my team, but whenever Kyle Finnegan of the Nationals comes in, you’re going to see new and innovative ways of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Phillies fans will be spitting at Craig Kimbrel’s name until we win another World Series.
2011 Matt Capps, 2021 Alex Colomé, 2022 Emilio Pagán.
Octavio Dotel
Brett Cecil for the cardinals
Brad Hand
Jeurys familia. Mets 2015
Jose LeClerc. You just never know what you’re going to get from him.
Aroldis Chapman damn near gave me multiple heart attacks last season. I’m glad he’s Pittsburgh’s problem now.
Jansen
Bobby Ayala for the Mariners
Cubs fans know Kevin gregg
Aroldis Chapman
He doesn’t play for us anymore but Craig Krimbel was BRUTAL!!!!!
He gave me so much PTSD I couldn’t bare to watch when he made an appearance i would change the channel and watch another game while he pitched and tune back in for our at bats.. He could be lights out or he could be absolute dog shit, no in between.
Clay Holmes
Grove
Valverde
Astros: Brad Lidge. Because of Albert. I’ll never forget.
Currently: the whole bullpen under producing, so take a pick.
Craig Kimbrel
Carlos Marmol
Can’t speak for all Dodgers fans, but Kenley Jensen gave me a heart attack every time he was on the mound with only a one run lead.
Ubaldo Jimenez
Mark Melancon. Spent all that money for an elite closer and got crap, instead.
Kenley Jansen was great with the Dodgers, but it almost always seemed stressful
