The bullpen was great except for franklin who gave up another home run. Every single mistake pitch the guy makes it ends up over the wall. 
But again the Cardinals come back to score some runs after getting waxed early on. They are not quitting on Tony. |
Yeah, that's what happens when your arsenal consists of batting practice fastballs. If your command isn't razor sharp, you get rocked.
Franklin's toast.
Oh, and the guy I said we should've snagged instead of re-signing Westbrook is currently kicking ass for SD - Aaron Harang could've been had for 1/5 of what we're paying Westbrook and it wouldn't have required a 2 year deal.
Mozeliak learned nothing from watching Walt screw up the Piniero deal and he managed to somehow learn even less from screwing up the Lohse deal. YOU DO NOT PAY RETAIL FOR REPLACEMENT LEVEL PITCHING! 5 years ago we were taking guys like Woody Williams or Chris Carpenter and reviving their careers for pennies on the dollar. Now Dave Duncan can't be bothered to actually do his job and just looks for guys that already throws sinkers. Consequently we're paying $20 million/season for our 4th and 5th starters. That's just completely absurd.
There's just so much wasted payroll and mismanaged assets on this roster. These team is stuck in neutral until we eliminate the front office and coaching staff and start over.
