the starters' collective short outings

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.

that said, would you stare at a Grand Slam if you hit it?

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.

i sure hope that’s not the case.

that means Albert will see some pitches and maybe see the cycle.

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.

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.

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

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.

by DCGreg on Aug 6, 2008 10:53 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

agreed.

forget the ‘closer’ rules. we need outs. period. and these outs are the most important outs right now. deal with the 9th in the 9th.

Hey guys

New overflow thread like 5 minutes ago. Get on top of things.

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
