isringhausen appears to have lost faith in himself. he doesn't trust the cutter, can't get the fastball over --- that just leaves the curve.

i've thought all season long that he'd pull it together by now. but he looks absolutely lost out there. my faith in him is gone.

at the beginning of the inning, the washington announcers said "i'm glad they didn't bring in wainwright; i'd rather face isringhausen." too true. the team can't keep losing games like this. they need to make a change.
