Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Game 135: Spinner good, but Livo baaaaaad

20100903_nationals_pirates_0_77_lbig__medium

via www.fangraphs.com

  • Regression? Livan Hernandez (-34.8%) gets shelled in 4.1 IP, striking out 4 walking 2, but giving up 8 ER--including a two-run double in the 3rd that put the Nats behind (-21.1%).
  • Boy wonder: Danny Espinosa (+10.5%) has a good second game, too, going 2-4 with an RBI double and a solo shot for the early lead (+11.5%).
  • So, can we see Ramos yet? Ivan Rodriguez (-19.4%) GDPs twice to slaughter rallies, once when the game was still close in the 4th (-8.9%) and once with the bases loaded in the 6th (-6.1%).
  • Getting there: Tyler Clippard (+2.3%) goes 1.2 scoreless in relief with 2 Ks and walk.

I don't have a problem with it.

Didn’t he have a bum knee crop up in his last start or the start before that? Seems weird, but I’d almost consider shutting Livo down now that Detwiler’s been called up. I doubt they’ll do it, but I’d consider it.

Mock had good numbers tonight

6 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 3 K.

Beat me to it.

I wasn’t going to post his line first in a fangraphs thread. Then I was going to do it after your post. Glad to see he did well. He feels like he could be a real solid guy for Syracuse next year and compete for time with the big club next year. Detwiler, Martis, Mock, Atilano, and Milone would be a real nice rotation for Syracuse, probably one of the best we’ve had since they’ve been in DC.

I'm assuming you're a bigger fan of Mock than Lannan

i still really like Mock too

if he’s healthy and has his head on straight, he’s got some of the best raw stuff in the organization. he’s still young.
