W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Matt Belisle 1-2 6.91 1.91 7 2

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Johan Santana 3-2 2.91 1.02 47 12

The secondary goal today besides the win, is to not allow Santana to overtake Edinson Volquez in the strikeout race.  Peavy has already tied Volquez, and that's...okay, but the Reds need to get their teammate's back on this one.  Plus, they need to score lots of runs to help get a win.

According to Yahoo we've got Belisle in the first game and Arroyo in the second.  Anybody else wish we had a least one different pitcher going today?  This is a very dangerous pair to be throwing out on the same day.  The bullpen could be wiped out today.  Er, I mean, Belisle is going to throw a shutout and make my point moot.

umm

I know Santana’s a lefty and all, but “Ou est le Dunn?” Also, “Porquoi le Patterson?”

this is the "speed" lineup.

but common. if youre going to sit Dunn for his crippling leftiness, where the fuck is Harriston?! i mean, i really shouldnt be this frustrated over the lineup every day. its not complicated.

Phillips and Griffey are sitting in game 2 according to Fay/Dusty

Not that it really answers the questions… but still

It's probably just the doubleheader lineup

Everybody gets to play on doubleheader day. And usually, the same guy doesn’t play CF in both games.

All I have to say is . . .

Thank God for the Game of the Week on Fox so that we can all see our local game in whatever city we are . . . because we would never be able to see our local game on the same local channel which it airs all week long . . .

three hits in the inning, including a double . . .

but no runs and two outs. That’s Patteriffic!

by Brian B on May 10, 2008 1:22 PM EDT   0 recs

Didn't see the hit

Could Griffey have been expected to score on Phillips’s hit? I know going from first to home is asking a lot, but…

by Brendanukkah on May 10, 2008 1:23 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

no

it was played well in left and the relay throw got in pretty quick and was on target (for the most part)

Alou

An aging slugger of a left fielder who still fields his position well? Barry Bonds figures that creature has “Unicorn” written across its jersey, cuz it sure don’t exist.

by Brendanukkah on May 10, 2008 1:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Not really

It was a little too far in fair territory to give Griff a chance at it.

by iamwallaman on May 10, 2008 1:26 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Votto

hit that ball really hard, just right at the right fielder. Hopefully Santana will continue to be very hittable today

Hope Springs Eternal! Go Reds

Yeah, I saw that GameDay said "line out" instead of "fly out"

Sometimes glimmers of hope are what you can ask for.

On the bright side

At least it wasn’t a 5-pitch inning. :-/

Mostly unnoticed by the screaming heads

Historically, Dunn is one of our best basestealers. He hasn’t really done too much this year, though.

by Brendanukkah on May 10, 2008 1:25 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I doubt Dusty would even try to send him

His running game is mostly about surprise though. No one expects it.

by iamwallaman on May 10, 2008 1:28 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

So, Dunn's Running = Spanish Inquisition

is basically what you’re saying, then.

I'm in VA beach

but some of my best friends from tOSU live there. So I’ll be in DC all the time this summer.

Ok, cool

Wait, Santana comes to bat to Santana?

I’m not sure if that’s cool or not.

Santana got all of that one. Lucky he was out in front and it went foul

Ugh.

We gave up a run on a strikeout.

I'll be honest

I expected much worse when he gave up back-to-back singles to lead off the inning.

Now, if our guys will stop helping the Mets (ie. getting picked off, wild pitches on the third strike and out, don’t swing at everything, etc.), we might be able to pull this one out!

Keep the Faith
