This. Fucking. Bullpen.

[Quality Start Machine]

I love the fact that every start this season has gone at least 6 innings, and it only gets tougher from there.

I also wish I could come up with an entertaining nickname for Trevor Cahill, but "Pillsbury Throwboy" has already been used.

Shut up, Boomer.

I'm sure Mitch Beane will part with him.

I think Adam Warren + Bosio Wizardry is going to be the tits.

That two-seamer/sinker thing of Warren's looks absolutely filthy tonight. It moves almost exactly like his change, and (at least according to Pitch F/X) the release point for both is basically identical -- there's just a 10 mph spread between them.

I'm actually not minding Travis Wood right now.

I think we all agreed sometime last year that bullpen Travis Wood is just fulfilling his destiny as SeanBearPig2

I imagine they'll keep Hammel around next year with just a $10 mil option, but I'd really like to see what Warren could do as a full-time starter. There's probably not enough high-level pitching depth in the system to just boot Hammel entirely, so it may be another 2 years before we see it happen.

Yeah, agree. He definitely appears to have the arsenal to do it. He was moving the ball in and out last night and looked (I thought) really good.

Didn't miss a lot of bats and seems to be more of a pitch to contact guy, which would usually mean lower pitch counts/longer outings, but they were fouling him off like crazy.

It'd be great if they can convert him to a starter, but I think with the aforementioned Bosio-wizardry, he's going to be a really nice asset regardless.

Not this afternoon.

Not this afternoon.

Pedro was due for one of his bad outings. Better a more or less meaningless contest with the Padres than in St. Louis.

Yeah, heaven forbid the Cards get to 2 games over .500.
