Red Sox vs Dodgers WS Thread (2018 non Cubs games)

[CaliforniaRaisin]

No no no, Ronald Acuña might have just broken his ankle.

 

Well, he’s walking off on his own power now. Watch the replay at your own peril.

 

Looks like he might have hyperextended his knee.

 

You were right about the knee:

Man, Dexter is hitting .157 and we're two days from June.

The Cradz have a pretty good record considering what they're getting from Fowler, Carpenter and Ozuna. I like their young rotation too.

 

Thank god for their bullpen and the guy running it.

[Cubswin11]

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Yeah, lot of 92s in that 4th inning and he was pulled for a PH at 73 pitches.

[Cubswin11]

Brewers bullpen giving up runs, regression is coming

Also some Vaunted defense

[Cubswin11]

The Cardinals bullpen is incredibly awful

An amazing amount of their ineffectiveness is directly related to the dude running the show. He used their best guy unnecessarily in the game last night with a 5 run lead and then has to go to less reliable guys in a tight game today. He's just flat out bad.

[Agony and Ivy]

Hader has now pitched in 12 one run Vaunted Brewers wins. That's totally sustainable.

It’s part on Matheny, like last night but also that shows how few options he has to trust to close out that spot. It’s also a lot on the FO for assembling a pretty wretched bunch.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Of all the things that I thought might sink the Cardinals this year, I didn't think they'd wind up with a bunch of black holes in the lineup and bullpen.

Yeah, I thought they’d hit and have a decent enough bullpen. But the defense, base running and rotation were lacking.

 

I have little doubt they think Wainwright is gonna be a key bullpen addition when he comes back at this point. Which I’d gladly welcome.

 

Also it’s annoying the Brewers won again but at least this series dropped the Cardinals even more.

Yeah, the lack of real options definitely highlights his inability to manage the pen effectively for sure.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Notwithstanding the F.O.'s role in supplying the talent, Matheny's bullpen usage is part of the reason why I want him to remain Cardinals manager for life.

2 of 3 for the Brewers was ideal for me. Drops the Cards down a bit but the Brewers don’t sweep.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Wow, get fucked, Felipe Vazquez.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Lmao Pirates. Get horsefeathering real.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Third straight day pitching for their closer. Maybe he shouldn’t have pitched down 4 two days ago but Hurdle was too busy getting Contreras HBP that day.

[17 Seconds]

horsefeathers the cards and everything but i actually enjoyed that. hurdle & co have made it really fun to watch that team lose.

[bcl412]

Strangely I find myself rooting for the cards over the pirates and brewers in recent games. Mostly because the brewers are in front of us and the Pirates being the pirates but I also feel they’ve been more annoying lately. I think I need to read the bfib twitter to refresh the cardinal hatred

[CaliforniaRaisin]

The Brewers are so shook by the Cubs, they even lost to the White Sox in Chicago.

Looks like a dude with long ass legs running fast, but not sprinting like a moron for a ball that's about to carom who the horsefeathers knows where.
