7-23 GT: Sox @ Brewers (7:10pm)


Recommended Posts

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.

Would not have been out of reach if we would have brought in Kopech instead of Bummer and particularly Burr.

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.

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.

I only asked for Kopech in a close game against an elite team like the Brewers to show we can be competitive against possible playoff opposition.  Don’t pitch him against the weaker teams...

Assuming your argument, you don't think it's equally important to see if Bummer can get outs vs an elite team like the Brewers?

Tigers finally lost. Now I don't have to see their fans dreaming that they can somehow catch up on Reddit.

I'll take any day that we don't lose ground in the lead.   Frustrating game tonight but at least Giolito battled and Vaughn looked fantastic.

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.   Let’s just shake it off and come back tomorrow to get a W

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.
