Carlos Zambramno status?

Sounds like the same thing that happened to Contreras. Jose's hand looked locked in one position.

He also mentioned how the naysayers will second guess him no matter what. Talking about pulling Prior yesterday, he brought up how people criticized him for wearing down his arm last year. So he pulls him yesterday and people complained when Mercker gave up the 3-run dinger.

Don't worry Dusty I'm still with you: the important part is they won both games!

look. prior should have NEVER come out for that inning. he still pulled him too late.

same thing for zambrano. I read somewhere today that he was showing fatigue in the previous inning....

goddaNG, whats wrong with the zambrano > pie > caek thread?

I don't think that it was locked in one position. I think he was holding his fingers back like that because it helped ease the pain of the cramp (at least thats what the announcers said)

On the Dusty Baker show before the game he did mention that he needed some solid innings out of "Big Z" today. With the next off day on Thursday, he was playing for the long haul.

95 pitches or so for Prior after he has been back for a while seems fine to me. Prior looked good and should of faced Beltran.

Zambrano throwing over 120+ pitches when he already had problems with his forearm is a lot different.

There is plenty of reason for people to second guess him IMO.

Looks fine. Scheduled to make his next start.
