Game 86 Thread: Reds at Mets

Cincinnati Reds at New York Mets, Jul 11, 2009 7:10 PM EDT



Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ New York Mets

Saturday, Jul 11, 2009, 7:10 PM EDT
Citi Field

Johnny Cueto vs Johan Santana

Mostly cloudy. Game time temperature around 75.

 

Complete Coverage >



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Johnny Cueto 8-5 3.45 1.19 79 35



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Johan Santana 9-7 3.29 1.23 107 36


Tonight, I think we will find out if a team can win a game without actually scoring a run.  Two excellent pitchers facing two bad offenses?  We may not see any runs for the rest of the weekend.

You know Johnny Cueto desperately wants to make up for his atrocious performance last Monday against the Phillies.  The real question is whether or not he is hurt or if it was just one of those nights.  I'm fearful that it was the former, but hopeful for the latter.  We'll see tonight, I suppose.

Johann Santana hasn't been his normal self lately.  Over his last six starts, his ERA is 5.79 and the Mets are 2-4 in those games.  Santana might just be suffering from a case of the Harangs since the Mets have scored a mere 3.06 runs per start for him.  Hopefully, that trend will continue today.

Jay Bruce is back in the lineup tonight, batting 2nd.  Strange that he would come back against a tough lefty, but hopefully the challenge will cause him to be more focused.  I know we'd all like him to show us something special soon.

Game time is 7:10.  With the pitchers on the mound, it could be over by 9:10.

First!

Over/under on number of times Taveras and Bruce reach base vs. Santana?

Let me write out a formal proof for you.

1.5

I’d take the under.

I'll take over

Taveras is due! ;-)

Under.

by Gray on Jul 11, 2009 5:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'll take even

They both get on base but Wily T. gets caught stealing because he slowed down to stick the thumb tac in his batting glove. Thus the 1.5.

by fourrunhomer on Jul 11, 2009 5:15 PM EDT up reply actions  

under it is

Taveras and Bruce reached base 0 times against Santana. Taveras did single, but it was after Santana left.

I still think it would have been over if Bruce hadn’t been injured. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

If by some miracle from the béisbol gods we happen to beat Santana tonight, he will have the exact some record as one Bronson Arroyo.

I'm gonna be out for at least the first half of the game

So I won’t be able to help you all curse out the Mets! Bubba, you have to give regular updates on what the Mets crew is saying about Votto and if they continue clamoring for a brush-off!

I suspect a homeurn for Cueto, you just know he wants to make up for last week lol

by Red_Poodle on Jul 11, 2009 5:14 PM EDT reply actions  

Wait, they wanted a brush-off for Votto?

Do they think he crowds the plate or something?

Let me write out a formal proof for you.

Last night Bubba noted

that the Mets guys said he was lenaing over the plate or some such

by Red_Poodle on Jul 11, 2009 5:17 PM EDT up reply actions  

yes

They said he was draping himself over the plate and Nieve should throw at his elbow to get him to back off.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

by BubbaFan on Jul 11, 2009 5:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

oh, they were

They saw the home run Votto hit in his previous at-bat.

I doubt they’d have said boo if he’d struck out.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

by BubbaFan on Jul 11, 2009 5:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

lol exactly

I watched a clip of Votto’s homerun and it did not appear he was draping himself at all. He’s probably beocming their Werth, they better not hit him though! I love that descritpion AMets radio gave of Votto “the wicked bat of Votto”. Thanks to Bubba, we can continue to hear such classics lol.

I hppe Votto has a monster night. He is turning into a bit of a Met killer

by Red_Poodle on Jul 11, 2009 5:45 PM EDT up reply actions  

Incidentally, Cueto's ERA over his last 6 starts is 7.42.

The only thing that will make this game a quick, low-scoring affair will be the attrocious batting.

He sits alone...Reds are not home.

by Gapper on Jul 11, 2009 5:17 PM EDT reply actions  

And before you clamor to throw out his last start,

it is 4.85 in the 5 starts prior to that.

He sits alone...Reds are not home.

by Gapper on Jul 11, 2009 5:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

He's been struggling of late, no doubt.

Hopefully he bounces back.

Like Slyde, I fear he has some sort of injury.

by DocRam on Jul 11, 2009 5:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

That's what my opinion was after last game,

considering how he looked in the beginning of his start against the D-Bags.

He sits alone...Reds are not home.

by Gapper on Jul 11, 2009 5:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

Anyone have a clue why Dusty is batting Bruce at the 2 spot?

Is it to get Bruce seeing better pitches or something? I really don’t get it.

by Red_Poodle on Jul 11, 2009 5:46 PM EDT reply actions  

He's hoping the pitchers don't realize it's Bruce...

Can Paul Janish give up SEVEN runs in one inning?

Against this Mets team, that would truly be the stuff of legend.

by Brendanukkah on Jul 11, 2009 5:50 PM EDT up reply actions  

yeah

he would have to work harder coaxing them to hit like a little league coach or something lol

I've got strong hopes

that this will be a really good night for Cueto and that this series is the one that we all look back to as the one that gave the Reds the jumpstart they need to win the division. Of course I also hope that someone will send me a check for about fifty thousand dollars next week. Hopefully, this won’t be another night when the double decker Lion’s Den Adult Superstore sign that shines in my living room and bedroom windows is more appealing than the game.

When Matsui broke his wrist, it looked a lot worse. He did throw the ball back in, but he was in so much pain the game came to a halt for a long time while they got him up and off the field.

Hopefully Bruce’s injury is not as serious.
