More Quotes from Dave Duncan:
It's not really a concern. Izzy's not a guy who really has to have a lot of work. In his case, it can be better for him to throw on the side than to bring him into a (non-save) situation.Dave Duncan
If you do something he doesn't like, he just might flip you. Nolan Ryan was that way. Don Drysdale, I'm sure was that way. (Bob) Gibson was that way. Not that they're out of control. They're not out of control they're in control. But they're going to win the game.

He's not getting the results that he would like to be getting. But I look at it a different way. I look at the overall quality of the pitches that he's making. Right now, he's getting no breaks. You take four ground-ball hits Friday, really resulted in four runs. Is that poor pitching, or is that bad luck He's not getting the breaks right now.

I don't think (Looper) is where he needs to be yet, and I don't think he thinks he's where he wants to be yet. I know he's not because we talked about it. It's a long season. I think it's more important we concentrate our efforts into getting him into some games and some situations where it's not critical. That way he can re-establish himself before we start putting him into difficult situations. He agreed with me.
