At least...

If he scores, it won’t be an earned run, so Belisle can still lower his ERA if he lets him score..

I disagree

He has only thrown 72 pitches, and has only allowed 6 baserunners. He is better than his ERA tonight. It isn’t like the Reds have Dibble, Charlton and Myers down there in the bullpen.

isn't always easy

but how about that play be EdE. He is going to be a strong defensive 3B some day. His errors don’ t worry me that much in the longterm because they are correctable. He has a strong arm and good range. You can’t learn that.

his 5 of his other 6 errors are of the throwing/lapse in concentration/lack of confidence kind

why does Chris love on field bullpens?

too me it is best if the bullpens aren’t on the field. It presents several dangers, a pitcher or catcher can get hit by a line drive, or a defensive player can turn an ankle, tear an ankle tendon, or ACL, or what not.

thats what i was wondering

do you have to go if you touch a ball in play?

by shortstopv2 on Apr 27, 2008 12:19 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

you should

because you are interfering with play. I don’t care if it is a foul ball and you touch it, but if you lean over for a fair ball you should be ejected.

true

that happened when i went to spring training, it was a foul ball, and a guy leaned over the railing and fell over, the guard told him he had to leave because he touched the playing surface, even at spring training!

Belisle better than his ERA tonight

5 hits 1 walk in 5 innings. They just kept finding ways to move men over.

eh perhaps

but he also pitched against a very weak offensive team. I still can’t imagine at this rate he will be in the rotation for long.

by cokane on Apr 27, 2008 12:47 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

you think a WHIP of 1.20 is bad?

i was pleased with him. There were so many bloops. He gave up a broken bat RBI hit i think. That is unlucky.

is that what I said?

chill out buddy. The fact remains that the giants are a pretty weak hitting team. They are tied with San Diego for fewest runs scored in the NL, they are last in OBP, 14th in average and slugging pct. Imagine Belisle facing the Cubs and I think you’ll see that he’s not likely to fare well.

Belisle only gave up 4 hits but he also gave up a homer and a triple too, so WHIP isn’t the only stat out there.
