Title: Smoltz a Cardinal
Post by: StL FinFan on August 19, 2009, 06:21:17 pm
He could be the right handed middle relief guy they need but I have a (bad) feeling they are going to put him in the rotation.

That won't last for long if he blows it.  Of course, he can't do much worse than anyone else has done in that position.

I hope he does well. C'mon, Smoltzy!

Easier pitching in the NL due to the lack of DH.. If he was going to be a reliever, he would've stayed with Boston.

He is starting Sunday against the Padres.

This is a somewhat separate issue but it's something that bothered me for years.  Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine got all the credit the whole time these three were on the Braves.  Both were 50/50 at best in the post-season.  Smoltz was the one who always won big games in October.

Unlikely against the Padres.  (sorry Sunstroke)

Not so worried about whether SD can rock Smoltzie or not...despite the success he's had against SD in his younger years. I AM worried about Cesar Carrillo (SD's starter on Sunday) being able to get any redbird hitters (or any little league hitters) out.

I see a 12-7 loss coming in this one.

Smoltz got plenty of credit for being a big game pitcher. Boy ... Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz. Those were the days!!  :D

9 strikeouts for Smoltz!

He looked pretty damned good for an old man...

And, as I mentioned before, Cesar Carrillo can't get a little league hitter out.

Doesn't matter who Smoltz was pitching against, that didn't cause him to have an insanely low October ERA.
