LOL F this team man.

I've been saying it for a awhile. Blow the roster up and start over. Front office included

 

[roadwarrior_joe]

I’m at this game. Madden is a moron. And this team is so overrated it’s a laugh. Good thing I’m drunk.

 

[Discus fish salesman]

Why did Joe take Kinzler out?...probably would have got out of this mess!

I think he’s trying to figure out the quickest way to retirement/unemployment

 

[zack54attack]

Strop is probably still injured.

 

[LondonBrett]

And it gets better...Cardinals are beating the astros now...

He's doing a good job of it

 

[SilenceS]

So, who is he supposed to go with when Kintzler was at 27 pitches and plunked Thames? Im curious who out the bullpen everyone thinks he should have went with?

 

[zack54attack]

And with Cardinals Devil Magic back in full effect...

 

[LondonBrett]

First pitch by Strop hits the player...says it all ??‍

And it gets better...Cardinals are beating the astros now...

And as someone on sportscenter use to say about a team that was hot... the cardinals may never lose again ?

I don't disagree at all. Joe is using who he has. This bullpen was a HUGE issue going into the year and they went and got cheap players. Needs to be completely redone. This is getting old.

Strop. He’s looked good recently

 

[SilenceS]

Strop. He’s looked good recently

Yet again, who should he have went with in this situation? This has nothing to do with Joe. Players arent performing. He cant throw the ball for them. He has to pitch someone.

 

[Fred Garvin]

Seriously...this bullpen has blown almost 50% of games. That's on Theo...but Maddon putting Strop in was disaster. I am so sick of this bullpen. The offense didn't help....but you KNEW when Strop came in what was gonna happen.

Is hader going to get the save on 9 strikes? Jesus it’s 94-97 and all throws is fastballs. It’s not like he is secretive about what’s coming and he isn’t throwing 104

Hendricks should have pitched the 6th. Then you have Cishek and Kintzler for the 7th and 8th. Kimbrel could pitch more than an inning. Wick is more trustworthy than Strop right now. Hasn’t strop blown leads in like 4 straight appearances. In no circumstance should Strop have come in there. He’s made that blatantly obvious lately

 

[zack54attack]

Man, that was the pitch to crush for Javy..

Hendricks was at 90 pitches and seeing the lineup for 3rd time which has been an issue for him most of his career. You arer playing revisionist history on it. Kintzler couldnt finish an inning. No other pitcher in the bullpen has high leverage experience. Yet again, you cant blame Joe for his bullpen not performing.

 

[Fred Garvin]

Rizzo 0-4...Baez 0-4....didn't help.

 

[SilenceS]

Nasty loss. Bullpen is all in their head.
