I can now see how he was basically left hung out to dry by his defense and bullpen, I should've looked closer. I'm confident he'll come around, assuming he's healthy. cardsfan1--we never doubted you and greatly appreciate your timely info on the call ups. you rock. Thanks all who caught that info on Ottavino.

Brian Barden's bat returning after a lousy 2007 is one of the more positive stories of the young AAA season. It's great to see him playing everyday and having so much success, and at short, nonetheless. Definitely looking forward to seeing him called up in September, if not earlier. It'd also be nice to see some of the old and grouchy guys released. (Looking at you, Jimenez.) As the first two commenters said, Ottavino was royally screwed by his defense per the gamelog.

But Joe Strauss mentions about them calling up Chris, about half way down. http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/stories.nsf/cardinals/story/BE66ABEFB463E94B86257446000FE72E?OpenDocument I posted this in the other thread but it didn’t post, probably got stuck in the filter.

I've said before, I've seen this kid pitch and he' s got a great sinker at 88-89 and a developing curve and change up. If he can add a couple ticks to the fastball and sharpen his curve, he will be someone to keep an eye on. Also nice to see Diapoules with another nice outing and high a ground ball ratio.

If you read the game play-by-play, it looks like Ottavino had a lot of bad luck and wasn't getting hit as hard as the box score suggests. I thought the same thing nuhusky.

Also, his 3rd inning began with an two straight errors, so instead of 2 outs and no one on, he was dealing with 2 on and no one out which followed with a passed ball. His night didn't look too bad all things considered, his defense just appeared to be the cause of his short outing (also a possible lower pitch count from coming off the DL).

I appreciate the people coming to my defense. Half way down this article Joe Strauss mentions the possiblity of Izzy going on the DL yesterday, and Chris getting the call up. http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sports/stories.nsf/cardinals/story/BE66ABEFB463E94B86257446000FE72E?OpenDocument I just finished reading cards talk, and found it quite comical.

I really think that its terrible that they did that to him, but I'm sure its going to be sooner rather than later that he gets the call up. I guess I got ahead of myself when I posted that he got called up. Sorry about that.
