    Jorge!!

    The Pale Hose have been giving up some runs lately, including 11 yesterday, using 7 pitchers. Tonight, we need to get into their bullpen and cripple it for the rest of the series. NO MERCY!!

    Was Romero still an option for the playoff roster? Given how well our bullpen has been pitching, I can't imagine that Romero could have done anything to get himself on the playoff roster. I think it was a huge mistake putting him out there in our last game against our only competitors in the division -- a game we were winning! I also think it was not a good time to experiment with Gibson as a reliever. There is absolutely no reason to believe Gibson was up to the task, after his poor start on Thursday. Rather than screw around with his schedule, I'd have preferred to see the Twins try to get Gibson back on a normal schedule for starting, and have a short leash for him starting a playoff game (rather than just start the game off as a bullpen game, just prepare for the possibility when Gibson starts). Now, we may have screwed him up as a starter as well. And, most importantly, we could have won that game. Putting Romero and Gibson out there to protect a lead were not our best options for winning that game.

    The Phillies are only 4.5 out of a wild card spot. They play the Braves, who have nothing to play for, except to stay healthy for the NLDS they will host against the NL Central champs. I think they'll win 2 of 3 from Atlanta, and still be very much in it. They have 5 against Washington after that, where they could conceivably make up ground on the Nats, then end with Miami. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I believe the Phillies will still be in it and playing for the playoffs this coming weekend.

    Why didn’t Berrios start?
  6. Don Walcott
    Why, Rocco?

    Tortuga walk, and Wade homer. Just like we drew it up.
  8. Don Walcott
    May is solid.

    I’m officially a fan of Brusdar.
  10. Don Walcott
    Brusdar looks very good.

    Well, we went from "historic collapse" a month ago to just "collapse." So I'd have to say we've made some progress.

    We should get those games in the last two weeks of the season. And although I agree that I'd like to see some more auditions, I'd also like to see the bullpen we'll be using in the post-season continue this good momentum in close games. I think the confidence in the bullpen is growing with each good outing by May, Duffey, Romo and Rogers, in particular. Those guys will need some rest, of course, but they also need to stay in the groove they are in by continuing to pitch regularly.

    They use the force. . . Duh!
  14. Don Walcott
    Arraez!!
  15. Don Walcott
    If you know, then why did you do it? Booooooo!!
  16. Don Walcott
    Tortuga!!
  17. Don Walcott
    Obviously not a rally wallaby.
  18. Don Walcott
    Other than Berrios dominating . . . . So nice to see this.
  19. Don Walcott
    Time for the Boomstick!
  20. Don Walcott
    And one clear fair ball out.
  21. Don Walcott
    Berrios pitching around some umpiring mistakes tonight, so far.
  22. Don Walcott
    Patience . . . from Schoop? Ok.
  23. Don Walcott
    Let’s start hitting, boys!
  24. Don Walcott
    Congratulations! One more potential positive: the defense seems to have gotten over a swoon. That one game against the Red Sox, they had 4 or 5 web gems on MLB highlights, and generally they seem to be playing better now. If they can keep up their concentration, and play defense the way they are capable, it will really help out the pitching in the playoffs.

    This is great seeing them use up Clevinger, while we throw the Red Wings staff out there.
