Amazing work by the pen.
Games not over yet…they have 3-4 more runs to give up.

Maybe have someone like Smyly ready in the bullpen so they can match up against Cub killer Carpenter. Leiter did not have it tonight but we kept him in anyways even with the rain out yesterdaySuzuki makes an average throw there, none of this even happens
Leiter clearly struggled tonight but the bullpen has actually been really good as of late. Believe the broadcast said tonight they have the best bullpen ERA in the last couple weeks or something like thatCan you trust ANYONE in the pen at this point? It’s atrocious…to the point that Cousel has to be looking at Hottovy like…WTF coach?
That loss was brutal (I hate the Cards almost as much as I hate the Hawks). It was basically a lack of execution at a few critical moments though. There were actually some encouraging signs for the offense. Happ and Suzuki just missed game-tying/go ahead homers in the ninth. Lots of good contact after the first few innings and better at bats. Donovan’s go ahead single was just an easy chopper that found a hole.
The only people blowing it right now is the whole battling lineup. We can’t hit ANYTHINGI don’t watch/follow a ton, but whenever I do check box, the bullpen and Leiter seems to blow it.
