2014-08-06 Giants (Vogelsong) at Brewers (Gallardo), 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 7-4]

[pacopete4]

Well hopefully the Sox will knock off the Cards tonight and we'll take the series tomorrow. Can't afford to be losing series at home.

Parent of the Year right there! L O L

Here comes a ground out to short.

It's over baby. Bullpen looks like it did a couple years ago. Start booking your Cardinals playoff tickets tomorrow. What a pile of poop we've become lately...depressing.

Overreact, much?

Fixed that for ya

[The stache]

So this is what a good bullpen looks like.

[TURBO]

Maybe we are the mystery team that claimed Papalbon?

[The stache]

Oof, I haven't looked at the upcoming schedule in a while. We have the Dodgers next. Are we getting both Kershaw and Greinke?

 

We really need to win the game tomorrow. Every game is important, obviously, but I'm the game tomorrow is almost a must win.

[SRB]

I thought Papelbon cleared waivers?

 

I feel like the Brewers bullpen is not that big of a concern and is actually pretty decent. Kintzler is possibly the worst RP on the team though, I don't see why you use him in a close game...

[stoutdude04]

Yes, I think we play both Kershaw and Geinke...yikes.

[AZBrewCrew]

Papelbon did clear waivers

[SRB]

Even before tonight, Kintzler had a 5.0 K/9 and a 4.73 FIP, which is good for -0.5 fWAR in 37.2 IP. I guess the shiny ERA means he's a high-leverage reliever though...?

Yep, get both of them.

[wildcat83]

Actually have Dodgers-Cubs-Dodgers, so will see Kershaw twice in a week. Jimmy Nelson's next two starts are against him. Good luck Jimmy.

[The stache]

Yes, I think we play both Kershaw and Geinke...yikes.

 

The next four starting pitchers we face:

 

Jake Peavy 1-11, 4.73 ERA, 1.38 WHIP 109 K in 137 IP

Josh Beckett 6-6, 2.88 ERA 1.17 WHIP. 107 K in 115 2/3 IP

Zack Greinke 12-7, 2.71 ERA 1.14 WHIP, 158 K in 146 1/3 IP

Clayton Kershaw 13-2, 1.82 ERA 0.85 WHIP, 157 K in 128 1/3 IP

 

I think we really need to beat the guy that's 1-11, because the next three opposing starting pitchers are pretty good.

[wildcat83]

This may be the most useless pitching change of the year! Boy does RRR burn through arms at an alarming rate.

[Invader3K]

It's disappointing how the bullpen has become completely unreliable, especially given how it was one of the team's biggest strengths before the all star break.

I was just about to post that RRR is trying to use every relief pitcher and every pinch hitter we have tonight.

 

And here comes Tweek.

Our bullpen is toast

[3and2Fastball]

I am more disappointed that we didn't improve our bullpen depth at the Trade Deadline!

[superfly]

Baby Crush is pissed.

[The stache]

I'm so glad that our bullpen imploded. Imagine if they had held after Marco?

[BraunyBoy08]

k now just 3 more of those

[AZBrewCrew]

Of course we get a solo shot down 4 runs.
