"it's just three games"

[FergieJ31]

Isringhausen has three saves already.

 

I agree, his skills seem to be declining slightly. At some point though, that will affect his confidence. I mean, how can it not?

 

He doesn't seem to have a lot going on upstairs, that's how.

 

That is not necessarily a bad thing in baseball.

 

I remember a vinet in Moneyball where Beane is reconting a story where he and Lenny Dystra are sitting on the bench talking about the pitcher they were going to face. I can't remember the pitcher's name but he was really good. Beane says someting about the pitcher and Dykstra says, "who is he" or something like that. Beane goes on to tell Dykstra how good the pitcher is and Dykstra says, "F it I can hit him".

 

Yeah I loved that story - great stuff. The pitcher was Steve Carlton.
