The idea that Cooper and Renteria just fly by the seat of their pants and use no analytics is incredible. I still think the bullpen usage since they clinched ahs been scripted like spring training. I am also tired of hearing how the bullpen arms are worn out. The bullpen can get worn out over a long season not over a 60 season.....60 games in you begin to talk about how the bullpen will be worn out at this rate.

Team that wins this weekend has the momentum for playoffs.

My guess is the bullpen is scripted to get guyscinnings and stay fresh like spring training......that is all I van think.

Who beat the cubs 3 times. I still think we win the divison after this managerial debacle.......

Id rather play the cubs then the reds

Now Anderson can't hit.....Darvish may no hit them tomorrow and K 15+ and I am not even joking in the least bit.

If he is healthy....again big if but there is no risk......he is better than any other option and why not bring him back? To me it would be foolish to write him off when they do not have to...maybe he is a bullpen piece for the rest of his career. That is great asset to have from the left side.

If Cease struggles next outing he cannot pitch in playoffs with how Lopez has looked recently. Sad to say.

First series may not have a game 3.

I take it lefties hit Plesac at a high....much much higher clip. I don't mind Dyson or Mazara but why both and Yolmer....really?

I so want Hard Carl to start tomorrow and game 3 of playoffs (if necessary) and kick ass! I still think the Schomburg opportunity is allowing for injured pitchers especially veterans to be in a controlled environment for a longer period of time as opposed to the regular season where the rehab time in minors is limited.

The odd thing I see is that neither Gio or Ruiz are any good so there are two obvious spots. I think the Schaumburg site is a huge benefit as it gives them a controlled environment in which to work them up to speed in a controlled environment. Both are veterans so they know how to get where they need to be. This whole last week seems bizarre,

That would be awesome to the infinity degree As an FU to Prellar not Clevinger.

Another horseshit player beats us yet our horseshit players are just plain embarassingly useless

If they get 7th seed they are still in funk and go out easily. I believe in momentum.

Well this sucks.

12 strike outs on 5.2 innings just getting worse each day. Easily could strike out 20 times tonight.

Mccaan and robert both struck out on seeing one strike between them.....good lord.

Bloom seems to be fading on McCaan. I like for him to be resigned and maybe even an overpay but hes not an every day guy.

This game is about to be ova. I get guys slump but Moncada and Robert are literally useless.

We will get the 17 games in 17 days killed them.

He was brought in to mentor the Latino players along with Abreu. I do not think they can walk back from that as easily as it sounds. Vaughan had a great spring training but they were all in on Edwin and couldn't walk back from that once post summer camp hit.

How does a team just fall completely apart like they are. If you dont like Renteria he is digging his grave. Cant wait to hear why colome was pulled and foster for that matter.

Needs to be fired
