Brewers win again! Cardinals are moving up. Guardians are playing solid ball. Boston is making a move as well.

Computer Hater. are you sure the Indians have the best bullpen in baseball?

Jim,

I don't have all the stats from all the teams but they show different stats on the televised broadcasts at times and they say they have the # 1 bullpen. They may be biased since it is an Indians broadcast. LOL

I'm sure the stats change as each game is played and maybe one day they are the best and then the next they aren't.

Put it this way. Their bullpen is great and if it wasn't for them they wouldn't be anywhere close to where they are in wins.

Their closer has an ERA under 1 and 3 or 4 of their set up men have an ERA under 2 or at least it was before last night.


I just went and looked.

Clase - .070
Herrin - 1.13
Gaddis - 1.47
Morgan - 1.64 Currently on Disabled List
Smith - 1.96

Just having some fun with you CH, you are correct that it can change quickly. Going back a couple years the Phillies bullpen really sucked, now it is respectable.

Mercado 0.00 he was just called up, only made one appearance thus far
Hoffman 1.11
Strahm 0.89
Kerkering 1.63
Marte 2.70 on the injured list
Alvardo 3.09
Ruiz 3.48
Soto 4.07
Seranthony 4.39

The Phillies starting pitching has been good so far.
Wheeler 2.73
Suarez 2.01
Nola 3.39
Sanchez 2.67
Turnbull 2.63

Walker is on the injury list, his ERA is 5.60.

Brewers completed the sweep of the Rangers with a walk off win in the 10th. Kuechel gave up 5 runs in 4 innings but offense hit a grand slam and an inside the park HR. Bullpen didn’t give up a run.

The Indians having the best record in baseball didn't last long.

Nope, I expected as much. That's why I said, "At least for a day."

I think this was a sacrificial game to let the guys in the bullpen get some much needed rest. Tonight the manager put a guy in the game that they just called up a couple days ago. The game was tied 2-2 when he put him in. He gave up 2 solo homeruns in 3 innings. Normally in a close game he puts the better guys in and they do the job most of the time. At least the other guys got a night off.

The Phillies starter lasted 3 innings and left the game with shoulder tightness. The manager used 6 relief pitchers after that, he used 4 of his best, even after they had a 4 run lead. What ever happened to a relief pitcher that could pitch more than one inning?

Miles is horrible tonight, I think I can pitch better tonight.

And I would be a fraction of the cost.

The Phillies bullpen sucked last night, the Marlins scored 7 times in the last 3 innings. Harper might be down a while, he injured his leg (hamstring) on the last play of the game and Schwarber left early with a groin injury, they also lost two pitchers in the past few days. The injury bug has hit them hard.

The Phillies did not need the bullpen last night as Sanchez pitched a shutout.

Cubs still sucking, but managed to beat the lowly Brewers today.

Phillies injuries suck. Hopefully they are short lived.

3 big bats out of the line up for the Phils, might be All-Star break until they come back. They don't have much offense now.

Nice comeback today for the Phillies.

Lowly Brewers and their fans should be lying low with their heads down in embarrassment only scoring in one inning and only 7 runs against Hendricks. You'll all be the laughing stocks of MLB now.

The Phillies are headed to Wrigley Field, the Cubs are catching the Phils at a good time. On Tuesday they will be facing a rooking pitcher making his first major league start, 3 of their starters are on the disable list. They just split a 4 game series with the worst team in the National League at home. Yet somehow they are still rated the best team in baseball, according to MLB.com

I’m so ashamed to be associated with such ineptness.

I'm sure the Phillies will still do well in Chicago NL.

7 runs was plenty enough to win, so no not embarrassed. We will see if they can win against the Rockies who really give up a lot of runs. Only about 6 teams in the MLB with 50 wins and the Brewers are one of those 6.

Only 7 runs against Hendricks? That’s sad.
