cardinals are a fn joke

wtf is tony larussa thinking putting out some weak ass pitcher instead of his closer to give up a 1 pitch double and then not walking matt kemp with juan uribe on deck???

They still haven't learned that Ryan Franklin is not a good closer.

Sadly Ryan Franklin is their closer

Its hard to get a good closer it seems. I am surprised more managers don't have the starter go longer rather than go to the pen.

The Cardinals are playing good ball.Franklin has already blown 4 saves he is the problem.

[home dogs]

they have to go to other options in the closer spot, problem is there options are either young (Boggs, starter last yr, Motte velocity down this yr only 3 K's so far) or Old Miguel Bautista I think he is 74, either way they have to make a change

I would try Boggs lives arm 12 K's in the early season so far give hime a shot Franklin is sure as shit not working
