GDT : Cardinals @ Blue Jays (8/1) ~ 2:07pm CDT

Oli will explain after the game that once again half the bullpen was "down" for todays game.

Sent down or put down

[11WSChamps]

Pitches that back up normally get hammered Brad.

Tell it like it is or get the [fork] out of the booth.

[Melville]

Some managers are masters at handling a bullpen
The Marmot, on the other hand, disasters his.

[bakker]

Luis Gascantelum strikes again.

In my way of thinking anyone who makes it through AAA to the majors in a great baseball ballplayer. Doesn't mean they are quality major league players. I don't recall seeing a pitcher this overmatched with major league hitters. No doubt there have been but this is the 3rd game this week he's put them behind the 8 ball. IH bailed him out in one game but he's just over his head. Surely he's destined to be sent down. (Now watch him pitch lights out over the next week).

Can’t believe Cards released Hence to keep Strzelecki.

[Cusecards]

Well....in hindsight...if your backup plan was to bring in Strzelecki, I guess it didn’t matter that you left Gastelum in????

[Strummer Jones]

This is easily the worst Cardinal team I have ever seen.

Gastellum is not it

Why does Oli keep relying on this guy.
Send him back down. He is not ready!
Gastelum looks like he is "shot putting" his fastball. Pathetic!

[82birds]

Blue Jays will be sad to see the Cardinals leave town tomorrow

[njcardfan]

I don’t follow CT enough to know. I assume some
Has coined the phrase…throwing Gas on the fire…

They don't really have anyone else ready to step in either so I'm not sure

[njcardfan]

15 runs in the past 7 games?

Gastrlum and Strzelecki should be working in the general population.

I'm trying to get Gascantelum some traction.

[craviduce]

Sparkler nearly got that 2nd HR

[Ozziesfan41]

A scoreless inning from gastelum too bad he can’t have some of those when the games are tied or cards are ahead. But oli will probably send him out for a second inning to make sure he gives up a run or two

Yep oli definitely managing like he knows his job is safe
