The Mets were very excited with the way the old guy wa spitching. So was Jason Isringhausen. Even Dependable Dan Warthen had mentioned that he thinks that if Izzy was able to keep it up he would have been the Mets set up man going into the 2012 season.
Well Izzy was on the shelf for a day due to some pain in his elbow. Not to worry though he said that its not from the Tommy John Surgery. Izzy called it "a muscle thing, it's got nothing to do with anything repaired by surgery. I don't feel it's a setback. It's toward the end of camp, but there's enough time to do what I've got to do."
With throwing alot more breaking pitches the forearm deals with alot of torque and it has caused some muscle soreness. He took anti inflamtory pills and hopes to throw either today or most likely Wednesday. Already this morning he was having a catch from the Shorstop position with Dan Warthen and was joking Reyes has nothing on me.
Resident Dr Carlos Beltran said he would be fine. After a couple of weeks of doing nothing but running 100 yard sprints and tracking pitches until he is blind Izzy should be fine as per Carlos.
Terry Collins said he hopes to have Beltran Dh in the lineup in the next day or 2. Do we laugh at this?
