Game 75: Reds at Yankees

Cincinnati Reds @ New York Yankees

Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ New York Yankees

Friday, Jun 20, 2008, 7:05 PM EDT
Yankee Stadium

Edinson Volquez vs Mike Mussina

Partly cloudy. Winds blowing out to center field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 75.

Complete Coverage >

	W-L	ERA	WHIP	K	BB
2008 - Edinson Volquez	9-2	1.64	1.17	105	44

	W-L	ERA	WHIP	K	BB
2008 - Mike Mussina	10-4	3.87	1.22	46	11

Edinson still leads the majors in strikeouts (8 more than Sabathia) and ERA (ahead of No. 2 Tim Lincecum's 2.21). Mussina, however, leads the AL in wins and has 1/4 the walks of Volquez.

And in the past 5 games (all losses), we've been outscored 31-10 and managed a robust .214/.294/.298/.592 line (down from .247/.326/.403/.729 on the season.) Of course, now we're at Yankee Stadium for the first time since 1976 (when we swept) and the last time evah, so maybe we'll get some of that Big Red Luck. Maybe.

"Twinkletoes" Cabrera

Nice footwork. Dunno if he’s lucky or good, but that was impressive.

I don't think it was lucky.

That was a really nice slide.

Happy

Just because it was a beautiful thing to see, no matter who did it.

And Abreu and Molina aren’t favorite players of mine, so I’m not too upset they kinda screwed up.

Nah

I just hate the way Abreu plays RF. He’s so scared of the wall it’s a joke. He won’t dive for balls. He’s not scrappy and he doesn’t play the game right. Just not my type. ;-)
