Does anyone else worry about how many innings and appearances Kyle is logging? Obviously he is performing well .. and he doesn’t look like he is tiring…

But I feel like because our bullpen is so bad…TLR is afraid to use anyone else. As a result..he puts Kyle in a lot. And well it seems like a lot of work for someone who lacks the major league experience and who has his injury history. Hello Verducci rule or whatever it is called.

I swear to God...

if this team could hold a lead they’d be unreal. I would so much lose wire-to-wire than to continue to lose games like this. It’s just so draining and frustrating…

by LukeMP1186 on Jun 26, 2008 12:57 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

With the blown saves

the late losses and the like, I’m curious how close we are to a 50/50 split on bullpen losses vs on the starters.

Wouldn’t have thought that was going to be the issue going into this season.

It's easier for a bullpen to lose a game than it is to win one

In order to win one they need the offenes to stage a late inning comeback.

by Tackle Box on Jun 26, 2008 1:03 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

For a reliever to receive a loss...

it means he came into a tie game or a game his team was leading, and gave up whatever amount of runs to give up the lead for good. So how are they more likely to lose?

by Tackle Box on Jun 26, 2008 1:11 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

But they would never lose either...

A starter could give up 0 runs all year and never win as well. I’m not arguing to argue, I just don’t see the difference.

by LukeMP1186 on Jun 26, 2008 1:11 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

That said...

a bullpen is slightly more likely to lose on the road, considering the home team bats last. But the reverse is true at home, so it evens itself out.

by Pitchers Hit Eighth on Jun 26, 2008 1:01 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

to be fair

Cards starters (125) have given up less walks than all MLB teams except for Minnesota (97)

so they’re skewing the numbers a bit

but yeah, it’s still gross (relievers have issued 8th most walks in MLB)

do a couple “Waino’s” for the rest of the year for all I care, quit using the farm for scrub starts and long role relievers and bring up some of the talent.

hopefully when the Pu returns, things will improve for hitting. but I think before we had more RISP but didn’t necessarily score that many more runs. maybe now they have figured out how to get them in…

Tony has done a really good job this year

but he really has to get over his stubborness in using Duncan, Flores and Izzy. Mo needs to get these guys off the team, even if he has to but heads with Tony.

the replay showed it bounce foul, then even further foul as it went over the bag.

I've been trying not to pay too much attention to the Cubs

but man is Edmonds somewhat carrying this team right now or what? And I though he wasn’t going to last….Jimmy will be with them the rest of the year now…and will probably be the full time CF if he keeps it up. His HOF chances might be getting better than they were 2 months ago…which were slim and none. I shutter to think about it, but I bet he will be clutch for them in the playoffs if he is still heathy then.
