Game 14 Thread: Reds at Cubs

Cincinnati Reds at Chicago Cubs, Apr 22, 2009 8:05 PM EDT



Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ Chicago Cubs

Wednesday, Apr 22, 2009, 8:05 PM EDT
Wrigley Field

Johnny Cueto vs Ted Lilly

Partly cloudy. Game time temperature around 50.

 

Complete Coverage >

 


W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Johnny Cueto 0-1 4.22 1.59 12 7

 


W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Ted Lilly 2-0 3.86 0.94 11 2

 

 

Johnny Cueto takes the bump for the Redlegs this evening, looking to bounce back from an erratic performance against the Astros.  He had some success at Wrigley last year, starting 2 games, pitching a combined 13.2 innings, striking out 12 and giving up 5 earned runs.  With the way the offense is going though he might have to be even better tonight.

Theodore Roosevelt Lilly is the Cubs designated hurler for the evening.  The Reds roughed him up good last year, beating him in all 4 games he started against them, posting an 8.15 ERA along the way.  Look for Votto to continue is sweet-swangin' ways tonight, as he has a 1.352 OPS against Lilly.  Ramon Hernandez has hit him well in the past too, posting a 1.529 OPS against him, though most of that came back in '06 when Hernandez was with the O's and Lilly was with the Blue Jays.

All-Star voting begins today, so there is that.  I always thought it started a bit early.  I mean, what can we say about any of these guys after 2 weeks-worth of games?  But still, feel free to vote a zillion times for your favorite Red.  Though it seems unlikely, I would love to see Votto make it above stalwarts like Pujols, Berkman, and Howard.  If he keeps hitting like he is, he'll be sure to turn a few heads at ESPN and maybe get some national exposure.

It takes the best prediction skills to figure out if your cleanup hitter is 0-for his last 21, that he’ll eventually not be your cleanup hitter anymore.

According to Sheldon

He also told BP that once he starts hitting he’ll move him back up, but he’s going to leave him there for a little while.

If that’s true, I like that even better. Not just a token move, but maybe more of a “get your ass in gear, boy!”
