Game 100: Reds vs Mets

New York Mets @ Cincinnati Reds



Next Game

New York Mets
@ Cincinnati Reds

Sunday, Jul 20, 2008, 1:15 PM EDT
Great American Ball Park

Mike Pelfrey vs Edinson Volquez

Partly cloudy. Winds blowing out to left field at 10-15 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 90.

 

Complete Coverage >




W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Mike Pelfrey 8-6 3.64 1.48 64 43



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Edinson Volquez 12-3 2.29 1.25 126 56


Pelfrey's been hot of late.  He's 6-0 with a 2.26 ERA in his last nine starts and he's only allowed more than 2 runs in 2 of those 9 starts.  Only 5 current Reds hitters have faced Pelfrey and while they are a combined 5 for 14, all 5 hits come from Griffey and Flatout Keppinger.  His previous start against the Reds came earlier this season on May 10th in the 2nd game of a double-header.  It was a game that the Reds won 7-1, but 5 of those runs came off of the Mets bullpen.

As we all know, Volquez has come back down to earth a bit lately (4.01 ERA in his last 7 starts), but he finished off the first "half" with a 10-strikeout gem against the Brewers.  Outside of his brief All Star appearance, he's had 7 days of rest, so he'll hopefully be back up to full strength today.  He still leads the NL in ERA and a win today with 9 or more strikeouts puts him back in at least a tie for the lead in each of those categories.  I'll be at the game watching it all happen.

Personally, I just want the Wagon to call out Pedro for ducking him

Holy cow

6-0 with a 2.26 in his last 9? Can’t believe the other guys are throwing somebody who’s actually outpitching Volquez over the last month.

Hot tip

If you’re out of the Cincy/NY market, Extra Innings is having a free preview this week I think. They’re showing both the home and away broadcasts, so you won’t have to hear the Grande/Brantley drivel.

1st & 3rd, 2 out

Dunn let one fall in front of him and got booed. EdE threw slightly wide of 2B on a potential DP and got booed. Then a pop out by Wright and we’re out of it.

Milwaukee picked up Ray Durham

Normally I wouldn’t really see this as a move to benefit a contender, but Durham does have a .385 OBP, and Rickie Weeks is batting .218. America’s Best Brew Crew gave up Darren Ford and Stevie Hammond (who was immediately kidnapped by the terrorist V). I guess it’s a good move; don’t know anything about the prospects.

Thoughts?

Volquez really coming back to earth

We really can’t afford that to happen. Volzquez’s performance has made up for the disappointing year that Harang has had. If he starts to slip, does that mean Josh Fogg is our new ace?

Keeping Weathers = Keeping Conine and Hatteberg

We’re doing pretty well, but we’re not catching anybody this season. The three best NL teams are all in our division. Weathers has pitched decently at times this season, and pretty damn badly. There’s no reason to think he’ll get better. The time to get rid of him is now, and get back whatever we can for him. If we keep him, we get nothing, and he potentially hurts us in a year when we can reasonably expect to contend.

I wouldn't mind keeping him

However, he’s also probably our best trading chip out of the bullpen. If we can get something good for him, I would trade him in a heartbeat. Especially if we don’t have plans to sign him beyond this year. And if we do have plans to sign him beyond this year, I’m a little concerned about what kind of contract would be offered to him.

It's an "Office" reference

“As Abraham Lincoln once said, ‘If you are a racist, then I will attack you with the North.’”

—Michael Scott.

Given our love of “The Office” and pointing out racism, and the fact that our reliever’s name is Lincoln, it seemed like a good fit.
