No shit. Leaving him in there with the bases loaded to pitch to a right handed batter? Our bullpen is not that thin.

I don't think he will ever have a high enough on base percent because he seems to K a vit, but he can run and he's got some pop.

Boujas can hit .400 and Jay will still play.

Dodgers only issue this year is our starting pitching as a few dudes been hurt and we are just calling random guys from the minors to spot start. something like 6 times already. Shitty deals when 2 starters go down. Outside of that, we are rock solid everywhere. Last years team had 2 big ****king issues, RISP and bullpen.

Anyways, im sure we will see Cards/Dodgers in the post season yet again. lol

why in god's ****ing name did Cleveland not send Kluber back out for a run at the record? Would 15 more pitches have really killed him?

bdj23 · 05-13-2015, 08:14 PM

Oh great. Hootie is here to gay up the place. You can tell the Royals series is around the corner.

Bring on the backhanded compliments.

Hootie · 05-13-2015, 08:17 PM

I have better things to do than troll the Cardinals thread. The Cardinals are an awesome team and an awesome franchise. Go figure. I was just curious why Kluber wasn't allowed to pitch the 9th to try and get the record. That record is sort of a big ****ing deal.

With the same results?

**BigRedChief** · 05-13-2015, 09:30 PM

BTW, those dickwads in the Indians dugout piss me off. Standing around chatting, drinking wine, not even paying attention to the game. You have better seats than the players. WTF did you even come? Indians baseball doesn't seem to be the "in" place to be in Cleveland.

haha, hope not, this year we can actually come from behind. last year they were something like 2-54 when trailing after the 7th inning. IT was pitiful.

When Cody Allen, who has been shit all year, also carves you up then that's equal parts great pitching and bad hitting. The Cardinals acted like they'd never seen a breaking ball or a fastball up in the zone. They were flailing at balls two feet wide of the plate and getting torched by 94 mph gas.

It was an awful effort by the bats. Kluber did not have shutout stuff tonight.

There goes that Pete Kozma fella, hitting the ball well again...

.143 BA w/ an ISO of zero and an OBP of .200.

It's a terrible thing when a guy like Kozma isn't even the clear-cut worst player on your roster. I do not understand how a team thinks it can carry 13 pitchers and 2 worthless parts like Pete Kozma and Tony Cruz and still keep winning. This ride will end. They're playing above their true talent right now and because of it, Matheny simply will not move on from guys that are clearly not major league baseball players.

O.city · 05-14-2015, 10:48 AM

Yeah, Kozma is trash

O.city · 05-14-2015, 10:53 AM

Wacha is throwing a ton of pitches

O.city · 05-14-2015, 11:36 AM

Wtf is up with all the strikeouts?

bdj23 · 05-14-2015, 11:56 AM

Well, with the way we've been swinging the bats that is ball game.
