gotta win the last 3 innings now

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you haven't grasped the situation!

Russ Springer

Here’s hoping he can keep this up the rest of the season. Guy’s pitching great.

last night (i was at the game) when i was sure franklin was going to blow i was thinking why the cardinals don’t give russ a chance to close games.

he isn't going to be able to go

Every day. As it is he doesn’t pitch back-to-back games are even back-to-back innings.

yeah

but how often to closer pitch on back to back days anymore?

Russ is great

But he can’t pitch every day

stats are nearly identical

Springer and Lohse and after that only a forlorn hope of late. Nice inning, Russ

I don’t get where people are making an argument that we need a pitcher before a bat. A bat can help catch up with the cubs everyday compared to a pitcher who throws every five days. We have match up pitchers, especially when Wainwright gets back. Lohse, Wain, and Looper ( proved he can pitch against most number 2s last year.) and MAYBEE HOPEFULLY Carp

Answered you in the last thread

Name a big bat who can play the middle infield with good defense and who won’t cost Razzle Dazzle and we’ll talk. (I like Khalil Greene)

We’re set very well in the outfield. We could use a better backup 3B/Spiezio-type. But we could use more pitching and pitching is a little easier to come by.

greene a la 07 is what we need

can duncan morph him into his former self?

Park factors

could help him out quite a bit.

Set in the OF

When we talk about Bay or Nady or anyone of that ilk I get sick

Those guys are great but we can replicate that. If we could (not saying we would) get Roberts (BAL) or Kinsler (TEX) for a mixture of spare parts I’d do it. I just know that’s not gonna happen. I guess we gotta deal with Kennedy, BR, and Miles for a little while. I’d love to get back Ronnie Belliard, but I doubt that’s what Mo’s going after.
