Finish them! And if we're lucky, maybe, just maybe, the Cardinals might actually lose a game. -
In the 2011 NLCS, Cardinals starters pitched more than 5 innings zero times. Tony (for as hated as he is), NEVER hesitated to pull his starter the very second he showed any signs of losing control or ability to get outs in the playoffs. Smart managing in the playoffs. It's no longer a long season; in the regular season a pitcher who gives up two runs in the third inning is left in and allowed to play through, rolling the dice on whether he gives up three more runs or goes seven without giving up another run. In the playoffs, the next hard hit ball has to be enough to yank him since you have to keep the best chance to win today, not tomorrow or next week. Also why it's not necessarily correct that we're adding two more 8th inning right-handed options to the bullpen come playoff time...they're probably needed more as 5th-7th inning "second starters". Though I'd love for one of the starters to help bridge the gap - we're not even close to a version of the 2011 "plan" where the starter goes five, then Hawkins, Saito, K-Rod, Axford to end it.

Doesn't help us any and the Giants whining is up there for annoying, but glad they're resuming the game. How livid would we have been had it happened to us last week at Wrigley? -

Did Roenicke's petition to allow Duke to re-enter the game fail so he actually used Gorzelanny?
-
Atlanta-style Meltdown Mode engaged

Everything went better than expected.

It would have to be close with that wind up, no? Really hope Gomez gets in that situation, he'll do it.
-
Parra owns Dickey.

Had to check the post date to make sure something from 14 months ago didn't get misplaced in today's game thread

Not saying how it will/should factor in, but Lohse has gone 7 innings with 2 run ball (actually 1 run) once in 8 playoff starts. Playoff ERA of 4.86 in 13 games (8 starts) with an average start lasting less than five innings. Which brings about the main reason I bring it up - quick hooks are common in the playoffs. If a pitcher gives up 3 runs in 4 innings during the season it's typical to let him ride out 100 pitches/6 innings to save the bullpen. In the playoffs you need quality options, less so for the single innings that bullpen guys are used to, but to get through multiple middle innings when the starter is yanked at the first sign of trouble. If healthy, we should have two of those between the six current starters. I trust Peralta more than anyone in our rotation because power arms win in October. Agree. You don't move the best pitcher on the staff over the last season and a half to the pen.

11-8 against the AL entering today. I'm not opposed to it as much as others, but 20 games is too much for me. Dioner Navarro (0-1, K) only Jays player to have faced Nelson. Tom @Haudricourt · 23m Gerardo Parra in LF for #Brewers today. He is 4 for 7 with three walks for his career off R.A. Dickey. Other good Brewers matchup history: Gomez (6-10, all singles), Lucroy (3-6, 1 double), Weeks (3-7, 2 HR) Bad Brewers matchup history: Braun (1-10), Reynolds (1-15, 2 BB), Overbay (3-24, 4 BB)

It makes a lot of sense for the 17 day stretch coming up. Late in the season with innings accumulating, injuries, going that long without an off day, and needing to evaluate for playoff roles. After that stretch, re-evaluate based on health, performance, and standings for the last 12 games. Playoff four could also be interesting. The favorites have to be the three with playoff success and Peralta, the best pitcher on the staff over the past 1 1/2 seasons. If anyone isn't fully healthy, has an ineffective September, or Fiers would remain completely dominant that could change.

I'd love to see the lineup card to confirm. Maybe Narron struggles doing the calligraphy so RRR can't read his name.

21 IP, 8 H, 3 BB, 25K, 0.52 WHIP, 0.86 ERA Highlights each start: 8 innings, 14 Ks, 18 in a row retired Wow

Yep, 15 in a row now. More variety this time, which might be a good thing since the pitch count has slowed after being high the first two innings. Now he'll pitch into the seventh. The hits were a soft fly and a line-hugger.
-
I hear our offense relies too much on the home run double.
-
Pirates down 4-0 after three. Stay hot now, then deal them a knockout blow come the weekend. Make that 5-0 in the fourth.
-
We have the opportunity to smack the Pirates into a pretty tough hole to climb out of next weekend. Gallardo and Peralta to lead off the series too.
-
Glad I was never given the sign-up sheet for a 4-3 road trip.

[sarcasm]Ron will probably bring him in if a lefty comes to the plate this inning.[/sarcasm]

As good a time as any to add to the Herrera in the outfield blooper reel.

"Needs work". Four days causes an overworked reliever to become rusty? Estrada up now. Would have just went with the three inning save. Or remembered that Gorelanny is still on the team.
