horsefeathers. The bullpen just isn't built to withstand short starts by our best SPs. And it would be really surprising if Lester could go more than 6 tomorrow. I'm with Jersey; Lackey should've grazed on these innings tonight.

 

We saw Lackey start against the Dodger A lineup(mostly, Turner didn't play) already once this year, he wouldn't have made it through 4 unless we just punted the game wholesale.

 

Eh, one game doesn't mean much, at least no more than his very good Sep. It may even be a semi punt, but we're only winning this series with deep starts from Q, Lester, and Hendricks - those three handing the ball to maybe one reliever, like Strop, in between Wade. Short rest brings all of these other idiots into the equation to ruin the starters' otherwise effective 5-6 innings.

I think everyone in the bullpen except for Strop, Duensing, and Davis are "injured". Bring in Tseng, Maples, and whoever the hell else.

and its a beauty!

 

(while he neither gets on base or moves the runner)

It was a beautiful bunt, but Rizzo doesn't play that and Culberson or whoever is an idiot

Lackey sighting. About two batters late.

 

after game 5, we shoulda been set up Q then Lackey. We needed a lighter bullpen usage game. instead we got this.

Zobrists attempt at jumping makes Schwarber look one legged

 

That base hit Zo took away Game 3 was a thing a beauty.

Leave Lackey out there for the rest of the game save our good bullpen arms for tomorrow and the rest of the series.

I'd let STrop get the save in the 9th

Yeah, unless we tie it up in the eighth, you let Lackey pitch the bottom of the eighth also.
