Cruz

As he sat down Gordon to end the inning, the familar "CROOOOOOOOOOZ" chant took over Dodger Stadium

Impressive start for the bullpen. Would have loved to have given them a shot at getting Correia a win. If we can get anything close to 2010 Meek, this bullpen could really be something.

I've liked what little I've seen of Cruz so far.

That last curveball was filthy.

Grilli had a bittersweet outing. Looked fantastic against Ellis, Kemp, and Rivera, but gave up a home run to Ethier.

He made Kemp look almost silly for the strikeout, then three pitches later Ethier made him look silly on a cutter which he left way too down the middle.

I think that was a bad pitch to call. My feed stinks though, so I can't really judge if it was merely placement. I hope they can get that back...

I thought that strikeout pitch to Tabata was outside, but it might have been the camera angle.

Either way, I didn't like the delay on the call.

It wasn't awful placement, but Eithier seemed to be looking for something like that, so he had no problem handling it.

Wasn't even close, high and outside, awful call.

I don't like the usage of Grilli in the bottom of the 8th in a tie game, but that's just me. Especially coming off an off day.

I read somewhere that he is the 8th inning guy for now.

9th Hanrahan
8th Grilli
7th Cruz

Maybe sprinkle in Watson depending on the lineup, and that looks like the plan for now
