2. Yeah, he’s trying to hit FA so he’d probably be pissed if they cut his save opportunities.

3. Oh, you don’t like Morejon? Well how about some gas? And next inning, you can piss right off with some Bobby fastballs!

   Good luck.

4. The Filthy 5
   -Ben Higgins

5. 5 Shades of K

6. It’s laughable how stacked the bullpen is. 5 closers and all within probably the top 20 of all reliever arms in baseball

7. The fearsome five

8. The amount of different arm angles and arsenals coming out of this bullpen is downright filthy

9. Bobby FB has earned his role here. He deserves to keep it barring a melt down

10. How do you guys feel about the 5 guys?

11. It’s cause of the lightshow huh

12. 

13. Five Pitcher Death Punch?

    I think I’m reaching here, but let’s keep brainstorming!

14. and hopefully he keeps that job with results

15. I think Miller will be used similar to Morejon. Morejon has been coming in a variety of different innings but mostly in the highest stress situations (runners on, top of the order, etc.). I think Miller may be deployed in a sort of fireman’s role as well but where a right-hander would be more appropriate than the lefty Morejon. The highest leverage situations in a ballgame are not always in the 9th inning, even when there’s a save situation

16. I’m ok with this being able to throw Miller at the best batters will be elite.

17. What are the odds of him closing tomorrow, taking my parents to the game and I want them to witness his entrance

18. The Fab Five

19. Alexa play Bandoleros

20. At this rate we only need 4-5 good innings from our starters. Anything more is a plus and will allow us to rest parts of this bullpen!

21. Would personally opt for the guy with nearly 14K/9 but okay

22. I got 5 on it 🖐🏽

23. Going to be great to have this reliever depth an options in playoffs series

24. felt like we should’ve received assets for Suarez and Cease still but trust the process I guess 

25. The friar 5

26. The 5 relievers of the padres bullpen. It’s a little wordy, I’ll work on it

27. The five who Fuck

28. 

29. Suarez can’t close every night. Having Miller available to close on Suarez off days is going to be gold.

30. 

31. I really liked The Furious Five.

32. You already know Mud is practicing all these things different nick names and is gonna drop it on us on prime time… he’s down to 4 right now by tomorrow AM 2 and game time he will have THE one

33. Gang of Five
    Five Horsemen (Caballeros?)
    Filthy Five

    Others?

34. Fab Five

35. I’m submitting the fast five because they all throw gas.

36. Five Deadly Venoms.

37. Best pitching staff in baseball.

    Better than the Dodgers (fuck Snell)

38. Well shit, our SPs may never see a QS again lol

39. I never imagined they could improve from the last 2 post-trade bullpens/closers. That was impossible, right? Fuck them prospects, here we are!

40. You get a closer! You get a closer! Everybody gets a closer!”

    Hey why is this epic comment unloved!

41. The five stages of grief

42. Its going to be 5 guys slinging sliders and fry fastballs right by the hitters

43. F 5

44. Padres up 1-0 in the 4th inning when their starter has some control issues? No worries. Boom! Estrada. Then Morejon. Then Adam. Then Miller. Then Suárez. Game over.

    I’ve seen some good bullpens before, but shortening the game to 4 innings? With our (new) lineup?

    We might win the west.

45. Fuck it, lfg
