I vote for Waino to replace Maness.
- Thread starter Duck_walk
- Start date
Sure all he has done is get a gazillion DP's in his short career. He even got the unconventional 9-2 DP by inducing weak fly ball to right. If the batter hits it well they score, they didn't. I have NO idea why the announcers were saying they thought Heyward was thinking about going to 3rd with his throw. He had in mind throwing home from the get go. I saw no indecision on that play. If he had any hesitation the runner would have been safe.
Maness coughed up three runs on three hits, walking one and striking out one over one-plus innings in an 8-3 loss to the Cubs on Friday afternoon...
60 Innings. 74 hits. 12 walks. 1 Hbp. ERA > 4.
Stop listening to Dan and Al. Try looking at the stats. Save us Waino. Save us from Seth.

Come playoff time it's the power arms than win. Good hitters own Maness. His stats are down. Time to think outside the Seth. Maness will now have two bad outings in a row, but when he finally has a good one 3R will say itoldyouso.
I would most certainly keep Maness over Cishek. Maness has had a lot more good ones than bad. The ERA for a short reliever can skyrocket with one or two bad outings. Maness WILL be on the post season roster.
Lackey, Garcia, CMart, Wacha, Lynn (pen), Villenueva, Choate, Seigrest, Maness, Broxton, Chisek, Waino, Rosie...That's 13. Assuming the Cards carry 12, which I think is debatable...Who gets left off? I honestly think they might carry all 13, which is silly. Especially if guys like Holliday and Grichuck are going to be on the playoff roster. Hard to have two of a four man bench that can't play the field, and a third being the backup C.
