9/14 Cubs (Zambrano) @ Cards (Wainwright) 7:10 CDT CSN/720

[Schwarber Fan]

Lou's a great manager but I question his use of the bullpen

 

Marmol for 2 innings last night and Demp with a 4 run lead?

 

1 down!

[erik316wttn]

1 down.

 

2 more and if the Reds can hold it, we're 1 1/2 up.

[Soul]

Dammit, Demp is in there.

 

WTF are you thinking, Lou? What if both of the games tomorrow are close in the 9th? Then who do you use?

 

Not a good decision, here.

 

Marmol, and it would be a good thing.

 

This is not a bad decision, IMO.

[TruffleShuffle]

Cardinals have only scored 3 ninth innning runs off the CUBS all year !!

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

all on a 3 run shot by Pujols, or was that extras?

 

pretty sure that was 10th inning

[RynoRules]

Why use Demp? God Lou rest him for a DH tomorrow, and you have Marmol, Howry, and Demp all rested.

 

He can still go at least once tomorrow, no?

1 down!

 

Plus the fact that Dempster SUCKS in non-save situations, but apparently Lou hasn't figured this out yet.

I think that one was in the 10th.

[chuckywang]

Dempster was already warmed up.

[Buford T Justice]

Brewers announcers saying it's sounds like the genius has pissed off his players with some meeting he had

[Schwarber Fan]

Just thought this would be a good time to mention what Ward's been doing in MVP 05 for me lately. He just had a 3 HR game against the White Sox and a 2 homer game against the Nats including a walkoff. :D I think I'm gonna keep starting him.

[Keener98]

Why use Demp? God Lou rest him for a DH tomorrow, and you have Marmol, Howry, and Demp all rested.

Yea but odds are that 2nd game we are going to need all the bullpen since Marshall doesnt go deep.

 

Oh well I hate Edmonds.

[erik316wttn]

Edmonds homers. 5-2 Cards.

[inari]

Can Dempster not give up a run, ever?

[RynoRules]

I also think that Lou is implicity acknowledging that Howry and Marmol are better picthers and more important to the team. I think he's right.

 

Ooops...

[Schwarber Fan]

everyone thank DWard

[Omar]

Just like his useless dives, that was a useless home run.

 

Great, fireworks. Too bad you're losing.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Woo Edmonds yay look at you you're great.

 

You're down 5-2 buddy. Save the dance for another game.

[Soul]

Can Dempster not give up a run, ever?

 

Nope. And that's why it wouldn't be good to have him close twice tomorrow. He might blow both of 'em.

[TruffleShuffle]

everyone thank DWard

 

oh yeah

[Buford T Justice]

everyone thank DWard

 

But it was Pujols we were worried about

Because its meaningless as long as they still win, and I can only think of 1 game hes lost in a non save situation(Mets)

What are you talking about?

[UMFan83]

If these scores hold up, the Reds will be 2 GB the Cardinals for third place in the Central

[RynoRules]

What was said?

[Coach C]

Man, Daryle Ward turned out to be the biggest bargain of the year. He's been huge.

 

Agreed in a BIG way. Hendry may have done some foolish decisions, but this is becoming looking one of his finest.

 

Ward + DeRosa = huge steals this offseason

 

Absolutely.
