Game #19: Redman vs Kendrick

Philadelphia @ Colorado


This is an interesting battle between a couple of pitchers who by right of natural talent perhaps shouldn't have had the success they did in helping their teams to the playoffs last season, yet by sheer know-how or moxie or whatever you want to call it (incredible luck?) were instrumental in the playoff runs of their teams. This season, the pair both had starts early that seemed to vindicate the naysayers but have come back with effective outings in their last starts. I would like for Mark Redman to pretend that he's still pitching in PETCO, and for Kendrick to get spooked and try to run away and hide under a rock in center field. Barring that, I would just like for Kendrick to give up a lot of runs.

Go Rockies!

Kyle Kendrick is gullible

Maybe if we tell him he’ll get smited (smote?) unless he gives up lots of runs, he’ll believe it.

Just make it stop.

NLDS Game 2

Too bad we can’t borrow Kaz and Kyle Lohse, that would really creep him out.

Just make it stop.

We still have Matty and Tulo

Who hit back-to-back homers against him in that game.

If Tulo was thinking about

hitting his first HR of the year anytime soon, tonight is always a great choice.

Just make it stop.

I was there

Hopefully Kendrick pitches just as well as he did last October.

I'm going to miss most of the game tonight...

Because I am at work, so here’s some good karma I’m sending the Rockies way.

Matty show everyone they chose the wrong MVP.

Question

Why am I beginning to feel better when Redman pitches than when U-ball or Morales pitches?

by RyanBuff on Apr 21, 2008 6:59 PM MDT   0 recs

The nice thing about Redman starting

is that no one is really expecting a lot from him, so when he pitches well it’s an added bonus. Everyone expects a lot from the two young guns U-Ball and Morales.

by The Lodo Magic Man on Apr 21, 2008 7:01 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

Very, very true

The expectation factor cannot be taken lightly. But he still has to perform for his job and he has done so pretty adequately for a 5th starter so far.
