TLR Says Izzy Will Only Be Used in "Classic" Save

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Keep Isringhausen closing, don't have Wainwright move there, Tony.

Boy, what a complete shame it would be if Izzy tanked and the Cards pen would be in shambles.

 

I don't know if I could get over it.

 

I know it would be hard on me.

 

I'm tearing up at the very thought.

He's too young. :wink:

[radarluv1]

he has more value as a starter, so as long as he's in the pen thats fine with me. whens ponson up again? i bet the reds could put up some heavy scoring on that guy.

 

 

edit: he (fatty) is pitching today. go reds!

[snoodmonger]

i bet the reds could put up some heavy scoring on that guy.!

 

Vance? Vance , where are you?

i'm trying to be the set-up man here

Go look at how the Reds hitters have fared against Ponson. It's great. The Fat Drunk is going to be lit up more than he was on that Aruban beach.

griffey and hatteberg are the only ones with many ABs, though.

after a decent first outing, you know he's due to stink. its warm today, with a 100% chance of disgusting sweaty fat guy on mound.

True that Griffey and Picking Machine are the only onse with a lot of AB's, but they have owned him. Griffey is hitting 545/583/1545 against him! :shock:

 

Hatteberg is hitting 500/600/813 against him.

 

But even the guys with limited AB's have had success. Lopez is 3/7 against him; and Dunn, Aurilla and Phillips are 1/3.

 

I'm predicting Dunn to homer off of him at least once and the Reds to score 5-6 runs off of him.

 

I'd love to be in new Busch to send a nice text message to that new scoreboard!

Dunn with a first inning homer. Nothing since. Syd is getting a lot of run support.

impressive outing by Stay Puffed.

 

6.1IP 5H, 2ER, 1BB, 4K and should get a W

 

keeping reyes in AAA has some arby clock advantages, i believe, and hasnt hurt the cards yet this season.

Oops.

Well...you were half right.
