It's like people truly think you can go a full 162 with 2 pitchers going out there every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not have been out of reach if we would have brought in Kopech instead of Bummer and particularly Burr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 The bullpen needs to be overhauled but I don’t know how they would be able to do it because their only reliable relievers are Kopech, at times Crochet and Hendricks. They need atleast two more relievers. One reliever that can pitch multiple innings in case one of the starting pitchers doesn’t do well and one middle/late inning reliever. They can switch Crochet and Kopech between the 7th and 8th innings but that’s going to burn them out so I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if Bummer just did his job. It seemed like the hit by Wong irked him mentally and he just completely lost his release point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that we are lucky we are in the worst division in MLB. I see Detroit now as the main competition in the division. I thought we got past this myth last week, WTF?

chw42 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Honestly this game reminds me a lot of the first game against Houston. Close game going into the 7th, Bummer has some bad control, then another reliever comes in and turns it into a blowout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopech is definitely better than Burr. However…… 1) it doesn’t hurt to try and develop a few more reliable arms for the playoffs (specially when you have the biggest lead of any division and 99% chance of being in the playoffs) and 2). Those wanting Kopech in the game would be the same ones bitching at LaRussa if he got hurt for being overused (remember, he’s had 2 years of not pitching…..he can’t be on the mound every game) Tonight is just not our night and no team is going to win every game.

One way is to score more runs to have a bigger margin of error for our relievers, and allow us to bring in some of the least reliable relievers.

Based on current form, Lopez could be the third best in the bullpen now, behind Kopech and Hendriks. Madrigal for Bryant, Contreras and Kimbrel (and their contracts). Get' er done Jerry/Rick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
