of the 5 hits he's given up to lefties this year two of them have been dingers. (and the espn stats may not include last night) I just think there's only so many more times we can let a starter implode on us and not start falling out of a race. We've ridden our luck with Pedro hard, but Glavine & Zambrano have started to come round and Benson's been good since he's been back. However, Ishii just hasn't been good two starts in a row, and even his *good starts* have only been decent starts, he's only once gone 7 innings, and he's never threatened to do anything dramatic like k 7/8 guys.
-
to consider bumping Ishii to the pen; he's been murder on lefties this year, and has a substantial platoon split in the past too. I know he doesn't exactly see himself as a Loogy, but right now that might be the best use we could make of him.
-
about "no lefties" being ballsy; certainly if you've no effective lefties there's no point in having them at the expense of righties who can do a decent job against left handed batters but I don't think we've given Ring a reasonable whirl yet.
-
I'm very happy about that, Valent'll still be useful this year. One thing though, if he's gone through waivers on a DFA once do we have to grant him his unconditional release if we ever move him from 25 man down to Norfolk again?
-
yeah; who'd do you bump from the 25 man. I mean part of me would suggest freakin' Ishii and put Heillman back in the rotation
