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.

maybe

may be that cp goes until he has trouble and then it’s springer. no formal 3 out/1 inning save tonight

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.

they were pissed about sweeney being announced

cuz they wanted to use kent….and then they both ended up being announced and sweeney got used.

by stlcardinalsfang on Aug 6, 2008 10:57 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

They accidentally burned through a pinch-hitter

Sweeney walked all the way to the box, then they decided to pull him back for Kent.

They ended up accidentally using both players. So Sweeney was wasted.

by mojowo11 on Aug 6, 2008 10:57 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

* sarcasm might be involved in this comment

by mattyfrommo on Aug 6, 2008 11:01 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

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

by sportsman on Aug 6, 2008 10:58 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

At least when Loop pitches I know he’s going to give it 100%. Sometimes I think Marquis got lost in his own head.

Not sure

but that was Ronny Cedeno and one of the headiest plays by David Eckstein I’ve ever seen. Ump called him safe and when Eck told him the rule, he was like “Oh yeah…......OUT!”

Btw, I think Cedeno got called out on a similar play again this year. And then got demoted or something. Lou really doesn’t like Ronny.
