Game 36 Thread: Reds at Mets

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.

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.

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

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

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!

I heard Welsh talking about someone being sick, but didn't catch the name. Could be him.

If they score here, do you just make this a sacrificial game?

Figure we were probably going to lose to Johan anyway, and just keep sending Belisle out there to preserve the bullpen?

I think this was a sacrificial game anyway.

And then Yahweh said to Dusty . . . “play Corey Patterson and let him hit leadoff.” And Dusty said, “Yes, Lord.” Unfortunately, the angels got stuck in traffic in Queens, and couldn’t get there in time to stop him.

the funny thing was he looked nothing like Homer Bailey

but i identified him as Homer. he looked like a kid i played little league with. Jay Bruce was around as well, but i wasnt introduced.

you know, Belisle isnt pitching half-bad today.

the Mets have gotten lucky on alot of bloops and weak defense on the part of Patterson and self-destructive behavior on the part of Dusty. i didnt expect to win this one, but Matty has done about as well as we should reasonably expect of him.
