The bullpen was the one thing I wasnt worried about with this team. Yet... I had to shake off a bad feeling. Defense is little league. Tony is indistinguishable from Ricky right now. We aren't allowed to have nice things, it seems. Without any other major injuries this team is still notably better than a well below .500 Mariners team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesox Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 you have to think that leaving Foster in was probably due to Keuchel not going more than 5 IP, everyone has been getting work in the pen because the starters can't get QS's 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Assuming they lose, 3 of the 4 losses will be by two of our worst relievers. That’s terrible managing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 It makes winning baseball games really tough when two relievers are unavailable 5 days a week. Sure it looks great on the days when they can pitch but the other days are going to be a matchup nightmare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be out of baseball in two years if not sooner. Cut? I think he should get the death penalty.

maxjusttyped Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 2 best relievers in the pen are fresh, the inning started with a 3 run lead, and Foster still had to eat giving up 7 runs. Bullpen management doesn't get anymore incompetent than that. Wake up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they allowed to wake him if he’s sleeping, or would it be too intrusive to wake “a legit hall of famer and person”? We all booed La Russa his last few years in Chicago, nice to see people don’t change. Perhaps he can give Madrigal and others some syringes, seemed to work in Oakland and Saint Louis.

More relievers would be available if they had to pitch instead of kopech taking those units. I don't see why Crochet us unavailable unless he threw too many pitches the other day. Then it really doesn't matter based on your plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I don’t agree that this is the manager’s fault. It’s early in the season and the starter is knocking on the door of 100 pitches. We are supposed to have one of the best bullpens in the Majors so be LaRusa uses it. The relief corp has been less than stellar five out of seven games. LaRussa makes the moves and the players are supposed to perform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he wasn't left out there due to poor bullpen construction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
