Remember at Winter Warm Up it was announced that Gregerson would be our closer.
His stuff looks similar to Wainwright’s to me.
Terrible game for Bader now compounded by a misplay in CF — turns a single into a double. The Cards pen, asked to go too many innings, is cracking in the 9th — but who could foresee that coming. Gregerson not showing much again. Cards will fall back to .500 it appears and 10th among NL teams.
I would have let Gant take the rest of the game once Flaherty out. What’s the point in using a starter out of the bullpen for one inning? It’s either him or Gomber going on Sunday against Chicago so you’re making Gant unavailable for that?
The lethargic mental approach and miscues of the top of the first inning seemed to set the tone for the rest of the game. We’ve seen this on a few times before, Cards lose 7-3.
Sometimes in a season, you end up realizing that you’re not what you’d hoped for at the beginning of the season.
At this point, the Reds are a superior team to the Cards. Look at the lineup they can run out there. They’ve got 5 hitters equal to or better than our second best hitter (who is Jmart and is so limited defensively that he can’t really be played). Their bullpen looks like the Yankees compared to ours. Our defense stinks.
Losing two of three on the road was simply the expected result. I think unless the Cubs are swept out of St Louis this weekend, the team should sell and try to retool for next year.
I will say this the team looked different, more bunts more hit and runs like that manager much better than prev one!
How old are you, Onyx? I hope old enough to know better. UConn or BW, would you please back this guy off? Thank you.
They leave too many men on, especially in scoring position, and the bullpen continues to be rancid. Not a happy flight.
Bccran please stop acting like every post on this board revolves around you it is getting old.
As for the team frustring yup finding differnt ways to make good starts to an inning end badly
I read in an article the other day that our bullpen’s ERA is worse than that of Cubs’ position players, by quite a bit, I might add
Neither do you, cranny. And by that I’m talking about last word/post on a subject.
I’d appreciate posters sticking to relevant board subjects and not other posters.
Thanks
I had nothing to do with the last word for me, UConn. I simply asked him to stop insulting me. Big difference. Case closed.
Going back to my original post on this thread, it must be frustrating for this manager. He is trying to prove he can do the job with a bunch of players who have been underperforming all season. Playing the hand he’s dealt. Yesterday was brutal. Gregerson stinks it up again. And he finally gets a young player some badly need playing time and he responds with the Golden Sombrero. Plus he leaves critical runs in scoring position twice. Sure hope Mo makes some moves by the deadline to give Shildt a fair shot. He seems like a good man and has an excellent background in the system.
