8/2 Padres (Erlin) @ Cubs (Montgomery) 7:05 NBC Sports Chicago

[TMan92]

All we need is Chatwood to pitch and we will end this game with the worst possible bullpen usage

[Brian]

maybe the plan is to use Duensing everyday from here on out so his DL will be legitimate

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I like joe sticking with the non-pitchers late in games here

[Sammy Sofa]

If Addy could use his slugging percentage as his on-base percentage and then combine his batting average and on-base, he'd have a pretty decent slash line.

[Brian]

he has nothing left

[Derwood]

Monty should not come out for the 6th, lucky to not have given up any runs. Bullpenning this gives us the best chance

 

Care to rethink this strategy?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

*cough* DFA *cough*

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I mean, he has to be dfa’d tomorrow. right?

[Sammy Sofa]

Man, Joe gave up on this game real quick, like they were down 18-3 or something.

[CubInOK]

When does Khalil Greene get in this game?

[Irrelevant Dude]

This guy simply cannot be on the roster of a team competing for a playoff spot. Especially when said team has multiple better options.

This is maybe one of your worst posts ever.

Joe managed to make bullpenning this game NOT be our best chance

[ScrubMD]

Hi Theo Epstein, it's me again. I don't think Duensing is going to turn it around. Ok thanks, see you later.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Good job by Duensing to not let that error unravel him. Made pitches to get out of that inning without giving up another run.

I mean you’re just so wrong here I don’t know where to even begin

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Duensing must know where Happ's bodies are buried.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

This all stems back to pulling the plug on Montgomery. Which shouldn’t have been the plan if he was going to hit in the 5th.

He absolutely should’ve been pulled and that was the right move, not PH’ing for him was idiotic and Chavez should’ve got a clean inning, then Joe just decided 3 runs was too much to overcome and decided to put in the worst possible relievers

[BigSlick]

this has been the least pleasant to watch best team in the NL possible

[ScrubMD]

Like, the rosiest possible upside you could possibly hope for with Duensing is left-handed Kintzler. I really don't see the need to keep him on the roster.

This is a really, really weird game along those lines. Joe acting like the bullpen is hugely taxed or something out of nowhere.
