contribute to the bullpen being overexposed….when the starters are able to get into the 7th the entire bullpen doesn’t have to pitch….

Brauny the house elf
has no business staring down home runs that barely got out. He’s hit what? 54 in his career? I agree with you though, I think the admiration could be lessened a little.

his rehab start was moved up from saturday to friday
and he threw 35 pitches in the simulated game yesterday. you could assume this means he’s not rehabbing as a starter.

Here we go again
Absolutely mind blowing this bullpen. Time after time, game after game, you get to the pen and they open the gates. I can’t believe what I just saw.

Meanwhile Thompson's just standing around... chilling...

Perez coming in now?
TLR you are a moron, an absolute moron. This kid should be your closer, and yet you are pulling this shit.

he still can be
five out save.

so the 9th is still izzys right?
by madeintaiwan on Aug 6, 2008 10:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
that's an even worse move then not using him as closer
Perez is a one inning pitcher, any more than one and he gets blown up.

if Perez gets out of this inning unscathed
and Tony brings in Izzy/Franklin and they blow yet another lead…I might lose it
Might need a new wall. Or head.

hopefully perez can get the final 5 outs

Perez is much more effective as a one-inning guy
we learned that
by cardsfaninmass on Aug 6, 2008 10:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
long save?
hopefully.
he said earlier frankling and mcclellan are unavailable tonight… maybe we’ll see springer in the ninth?
by adiueordie on Aug 6, 2008 10:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
closer only 9th inning?
or in high pressure situations?
what if nothing is left to save int he 9th if he doesn’t come in here?

the question is
who will pitch the 10th?
by the Tewk on Aug 6, 2008 10:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
good point
it doesn’t get much more high pressure than this

by mattyfrommo on Aug 6, 2008 10:54 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
it's a high leverage situation
If you think Perez is the strongest option out of the bullpen, then he’s the guy you want in there, regardless whether it’s the 8th or the 9th.

Honestly, the bullpen is becoming a problem of association
at some point you just have to bring in guys that are getting the job done at some level – AAA, AA – something. Just for the sake of confidence.

he's going to springer in the 9th - I can feel it

My guess is Perez - shelled - followed by Villlone - shelled - follwed by Franklin
Cards bat in the 9th

What a surprise. Perez shows he belongs in the Cards' pen
