WCW live, and some of it was so obviously that it was fake..a guy ramming a guys head into a set up chair in the middle of ring, the other guys sticks out his hands and his head never hits…however, some of it after seeing it front row, would def hurt..not saying real but some requires skill, not caring about the toll on your body.

I don’t think he’s the second coming of gibson or anything. He’s a brad thompson with better secondary pitches that was being signed for peanuts. He’s a replacement level pitcher maybe a touch better.

This thought crossed my mind… hope that’s not the case. And I doubt it… Tony loves winning too much to risk an important game like this just to make a point.

Besides… I don’t know if I buy the idea that we need more in the bullpen. It certainly wouldn’t hurt… but everyone says that our bullpen is overworked because of our starters’ lack of ability to pitch late into games. With this line of thinking, another guy in the pen isn’t the answer… he’s just going to get overworked too.

Tony's taking some BS flak on this board tonight

Lohse was still cranking into the mind 90s the previous inning. He didn’t look gassed to me. If TLR had called in a reliever everyone would have gone batshit for not sticking with lohse.

That was a no win situation for TLR (and I’m not a TLR fan).

plus...

... several of those hits were bleeders or seeing-eye grounders.

Lohse had struck out Cameron

and Branyan had hit a soft liner. Weeks had a nice double and Skip threw home like a 7 year old girl on JJs hit.

I don't blame TLR

I blame the bullpen. If he had any faith in them, he would of went to them, but he rightfully doesn’t

Just shows you how much confidence is left in the pen

when Lohse has to pitch over 100 pitches and showed signs of tire. Just kind of pitiful. For all those talking about the starting pitching taxing the pen, the pen has taxed the starting pitching.
