April 30, 200521 yr Topes closer Jim Crowell has been called up, Travis Smith gets booted back to Burque would have liked it to be Miadich instead of Crowell but this is a nice surprise Crowell has a 2.79era in 9.2ip with a 0-2 record and 5 saves 3:6 bb:k
April 30, 200521 yr Do you have any insight as to the type of pitcher he is? Is he a fire baller, junk baller, etc?
April 30, 200521 yr Author nope, I think he was one of the Reds top pitching prospects before going down with rotator cuff injury 5 or 6 years ago if this is the same Crowell
April 30, 200521 yr He is defiently not a fireballer. I liked Travis Smith. If we sent him down then that means that Mota will not be on the DL. Am I correct?

EDIT: Baseball Tonight clarifies, saying the Fish will put him on the DL TOMORROW.

May 1, 200521 yr He's a lefty, no? Hope Jack's not having any funny ideas about giving Perisho setup work. He's a situational guy. Not to be trusted with righties.

We all saw what happened last year when Jack tried to stretch him out and let him pitch to righties. It wasn't pretty.
May 1, 200521 yr The thought of Perisho as the set-up man makes me cringe. I'd rather have Bump in there instead. If Riedling was 100 percent, he'd be a great set-up guy.
