3 more innings of Frosty Boys, lets get this done!

 

I love the Frosty Boys

[shanedog19]

I wouldn't mess around too long with Albers here, way too much on the line.

[willie key]

Take him out

[OldSchoolSnapper]

This is the problem with 5-6 pitchers a game every game.

I agree. Chances are somebody isn't going to have it.

 

I think the problem is that we scored 1 run. This isn't a great example of this point.

[TURBO]

When you bank on 5 or 6 pitchers a night, there is bound to be at least one guy that doesn't have it on a given night. Gio shouldn't have been pulled so early, another example of making a move just to make a move with the expanded rosters. CC likes to tinker far more than needed.

Frosty up until Albers defrosted them.

[Pugger]

I have a bad feeling about this inning....

[Brew crew 92]

Matt Albers is just terrible.

 

No command all month. But Counsell keeps pitching him in high leverage. This is the one head scratcher I have with CC.

[shanedog19]

When is the last time Drew Pomeranz pitched?

[TURBO]

3 more innings of Frosty Boys, lets get this done!

 

Every time I see this, it cracks me up, every single time. This and Coach Cooper..

 

Add Pouring It On, Those 3 things crack me up.

[jason21nl]

That's one hell of a CS

This philosophy has worked for the most part, but it seems a little amped up tonight.

[TURBO]

Albers in, yuck.

 

Why did CC take Suter out???

 

Because it was a move to make, must make all moves, even the stupid ones.

[Pugger]

Wow! We needed that!

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I missed the origin of Coach Cooper so I have no idea what it is every time it's brought up. But I just love Frosty Boys. Reminds me of years ago when someone was trying to make "The Keg" happen as a nickname for MP. At some point the wiki was changed and if you look at the edit history for MP it has several reversions and people commenting "no one calls it this" or "never heard this once in my life."

Took them to within one game of the World Series last year.

I'm guessing it was because the next four batters up were all RHH.

[Pugger]

Lets hope this is Albers last hitter.

[Bulldogboy]

Is Albers on the playoff roster at this point. I say no.

[TURBO]

[sarcasm]Imagine if Yaz wasn’t so tired all the time.[/sarcasm]

 

I see that is in blue, but there is merit to the fact that at some point, he is going to wear down. Catchers don't catch 12-13-14 games in a row for a reason.

 

hopefully it doesn't happen when we need him most, in the play-offs!

[Brew crew 92]

Is Albers on the playoff roster at this point. I say no.

 

I vote no too.

[pacopete4]

Suter also pitched 3 days ago. I’m sure that had something to do with it. But yes, our armchair managers would have this Padres team shutout tonight instead one giving up one run over 7 innings.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Is Albers on the playoff roster at this point. I say no.

 

He is. Simply because they don't have 7 better relievers. The way they continue to use him gives absolutely no indication that they don't view him as a key part of the pen, for better or worse.

[Bulldogboy]

Yu Darvish has struck out 11 of the 12 outs through 4 innings
