Game 116 Overflow 2
Probably getting to be about the late innings now, eh? This should be fascinating...
Or, Jo-El blew it and we're down by six. Either way.

Wainwright is officially the closer
By Perez pitching the 8th, that means Izzy/Franklin will be the closer tonight.
That means they are keeping the seat warm for Wainwright, who will be pitching Friday in Memphis.
I’d imagine that means Wainwright will come out of the bullpen in Memphis over the weekend and become the closer next week.

i figure
waino will start in memphis, i bet, just so he can get more pitches, see the strength of his arm and the effectiveness of his curveball.
then they can determine if he will be our cloer

We'll see
I see this as the Chris Perez audition. If he’s solid for his next few outings, he’ll probably get a look as the closer. Otherwise, Waino it is.
Should be interesting.

If Wainwright becomes the closer
it’s an indictment of LaRussa and Mozeliak. It is an indictment of LaRussa’s inability to allow Perez to be the closer and Mozeliak trying to coverup the fact he couldn’t acquire a reliever at the deadline by taking the teams best pitcher and making him only pitch 1 inning a night.

Sweeney came to PH
the pressbox announced him before he was officially in the game, Torre took him out and put in Kent, TLR argued that he had been announced, so the Dodgers lost Sweeney because the pressbox screwed up.

That's the rule
If a PH takes his place in the batter’s box, if a pitcher takes his place on the rubber, if a fielder reaches the position he’s entering in, or if a PR reaches the place of the runner he’s replacing, the sub is official even if not announced.

because TLR is smarter than Joe Torre
Torre sent up his batter too quick and wanted to change his mind.
It’s one of those “welcome to the NL” things. I remember when TLR got screwed by Bobby Cox his first year here for first signaling the pitching change before telling the ump of the double switch.

I know that most folks want AW back in the rotation, but even when Joel P has stunk it up our biggest problem has been our bull(s**t)pen. So here is my suggestion:
If we can only count on our starters for 5 innings then the 6th belongs to K-Mac, the 7th Springer, the 8th Perez,and Waino to finish it up.

Perfect?
No. But what happens when he blows 2-3 saves, which is likely if he remains in that role?

Reyes
keeping track of the game on gamecast, judging by the comments it seems like we have someone we can trust. Just wanted to drop by and say Reyes is gonna pitch friday for the tribe. keep a heads up…also I say ludwick hits 30 and 100 while keeping .300, not much of a prediction for right now, but if I predicted that in april I’d be called a homer!
