Adam Wainwright had a great four-hitter through seven innings against Colorado Wednesday night, but no decision. Izzy blew his fourth save of the year.
Meanwhile the man who COULD have been the Cards’ closer, or co-closer, if they had re-signed him in the off-season?
Troy Percival. Had a history as a closer. Showed last year he was apparently over and beyond a series of injuries. Now tearing up the pea patch as Tampa’s closer. Thanks, Walt Jocketty.
Meanwhile, Mark Mulder has a “mild rotator strain” and will take (for now) a week off from his minor-league rehab schedule.
Thanks again, Walt Jocketty. Pundits said, after the 2004 World Series, that the Cards needed a strikeout pitcher against a lineup like that of Boston.
So, what do you do? Trade the top AAA-league strikeout pitcher for a soft-toss lefty.
And, no, the A’s won’t give us Dan Haren back.
