Game #22: Jason Marquis vs. Matt Cain


Next Game

Colorado Rockies
@ San Francisco Giants

Saturday, May 2, 2009, 2:05 PM MDT
AT&T Park

Jason Marquis vs Matt Cain

Mostly cloudy,rain. Game time temperature around 55.

 

Rockies hope to continue success at AT&T Park this weekend

Gameday COMPlete Coverage >


Those of you with MLB.tv have the advantage today - FSNRM is not televising the game, and MLB.tv is blacked out for the day, so no one gets to see the marquee pitching match-up.  Lovely.  Hopefully, we hit five splashdowns to McCovey Cove today and stay angry about it


Jason Marquis

2009 - Jason Marquis 3-1 4.10 1.37 13 11


This is Marquis' fourth crack at stopping a losing streak.  Luckily, he is facing a terrible offense he has great numbers against.  Marquis is 3-1 with a 2.17 ERA in his career vs the Giants, including a 2.21 ERA at AT&T Park.  Randy Winn has a 7 hits including 2 dingers in 16 tries off Marquis.


Matt Cain

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Matt Cain 2-0 2.08 1.31 18 10


Matt Cain has put up some solid numbers thus far, pitching at least 6 innings and allowing no more than 2 runs in all four starts.  He is ranked 6th in the NL in ERA, but as RMN pointed out yesterday, Cain's ERA is deceptively low.  In fact, his FIP is nearly 4.00, and higher every than every season total of his career save his rookie year in 2005.  His WHIP is barely better than Alan Embree.

Cain is 6-4 with a 3.01 ERA against the Rox in his career, but he has had trouble with Yorvit Torrealba (6-for-17, HR) and Garrett Atkins (11-for-35, 2 HR). 

And for the bizarre, Brad Hawpe has managed just one single in 15 AB's vs Cain, but he has also earned 11 walks for a .462 OBP.

No advantage for MLB.TV users

Fox dictates a blackout of all Saturday afternoon games not on the network.

This is so lame

I don’t have MLB.tv anyway, but I was assuming that it would be on CSNBA. But it’s not. If it’s not a game that Fox is showing, why on earth are neither team’s regional networks showing this? Does this mean there’s no tv anywhere? Will there not even be any highlights?

Blame Fox and Bud Selig.

Fox has exclusive broadcasting rights for Saturday games that start before 5pm. So when Fox decides that they only want to broadcast the Mets, there’s nothing anybody can do.

Reminds me of that Orioles game

where it was Spilly 6, Birds 1. One of my college friends was at that game, we were needling each other over Facebook for the duration of the series. After we’d won and Brian Fuentes got the save, he remarked that it was a good thing for him since Fuentes was on his fantasy team. So after the Spilly pasting, my retort was, “I guess Spilborghs is on your fantasy team too.”

The courses of true Spilly never did run smooth

Such is my Spilly, to thee I so belong,
That for thy right myself will bear all wrong

Spilly is a spirit of all compact of fire.

...

Spilly is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs,
Being purged, a fire sparkling in Spilly’s eyes,
Being vexed, a sea nourished with spilly’s tears.
What is it else? A madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet.

I love Greg Reynolds and I may be slightly ashamed to admit it.

Or Bends with the remover to remove.
O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken.
It is the star to every wandering bark,
whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
