Braves Ride Hudson, Barrage Of Singles Past Mets, 4-0

in Braves Game Recaps
Email
PrintIn the first 4 innings off of Mets starter Mike Pelfrey, the Braves had 7 hits and 3 walks... but no runs. Lots of stranded runners and double plays contributed, as did the fact that all those hits were singles. But the Braves did run Pelfrey's pitch count up quite a bit, and their hard work paid off in the 5th.
The Braves started the 5th with 5 straight singles, from Chipper Jones, Brian McCann, Troy Glaus, Eric Hinske, and Omar Infante. That ended Pelfrey's night. Elmer Dessens came in and got a double-play from Yunel Escobar, but that made the score 3-0. Tim Hudson then came up and got the Braves' first extra-base hit, a looping double down the right-field line that scored the Braves 4th run. Pelfrey ended with a line of 4 IP, 12 H (all singles), 4 R, 3 BB, 2 K, and a -0.165 WPA.
Tim Hudson, in addition to his hitting, was his usual self on the mound. He gave up only 6 baserunners in 7 innings, and when he did have baserunners, he often got a double play to end the threat (2 ground-ball DPs and one line-drive DP). Huddy got his usual 60% ground balls (12/20), and really could have gone another inning if needed. He threw only 92 pitches in 7 innings, or 1 fewer than Pelfrey threw in 4-plus innings. And of course, he didn't give up any runs. Hudson's final line was 7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K, and a 0.315 WPA.
Jonny Venters and Billy Wagner worked perfect innings in the 8th and 9th to close out the game with ease.
Six different Braves had mutli-hit games, led by Omar Infante's 3 hits. Omar now has 7 hits in the series, and there's still one more game to go. That'll do. Martin Prado went hitless for the second straight game, though he did have 2 walks.
The Braves have now clinched the series win and will have at least a 4-game lead going into the All-Star Break. That's pretty sweet. Even better, they have a chance to win tomorrow and take as much as a 6-game lead into the break (depending on the Phillies' results tonight and tomorrow). It's been a hugely successful first half so far, and winning tomorrow would just be the icing on the cake.
Awards
MVP
Tim Hudson-- 7 shutout innings, plus 2 hits, an RBI, and a 0.107 WPA as a hitter
Honorable Mention
Omar Infante-- 3/4, RBI, 0.137 WPA
LVP
Mike Pelfrey
MVP in a Losing Effort
Angel Pagan (for the 2nd straight night)-- 3/4, 2B, 2 SB, and a 0.137 WPA
Clutch Play
Brian McCann's RBI single in the 5th (0.122 WPA)
Unclutch Play
Martin Prado grounding into a 1-2-3 double play with the bases loaded and no outs in the 4th (-0.184 WPA)... but we forgive you, Martin!

Solid Victory
Now let’s hope Lowe can match Santana can be good enough for us to win. Oh by the way, the Bullpen is the real reason why we are winning all these games. So often in previous years, I would get nervous/cringe when Bobby goes to the pen. Now, going to the pen feels like closing the door on the game.
My 4 guys (Hudson, Hanson, Meds, JJ) can take on anybody's 4 guys (the MLB) and Victory will be ours!

There are actually 2 more cases of that in the 90’s.
The last time 2 guys went 10+ in the same game: Dave Stewart and Erik Hanson, Oakland vs. Seattle, August 1, 1990. Neither gave up a run and Stew went 11 for the win.

Definitely different times now. The emphasis on pitch counts these days will prevent anything like that from happening again. I think Steve Avery was our case of a young guy getting abused and Bobby’s been reluctant to push his young guys too far early in their careers ever since.

I’m reading the convo now….I’ve never seen him in here before
We have traded away great players for less than nothing and let Texierra walk away, and much much more so pray that Hayward is sent from God and that his energy can ignite the veterans and cause the younger players to hustle more and play winning baseball...
yeah, i thought he was from this blog
just because it is so weird for a Braves fan to only be a member of Redreporter.
Anyway, I do wish you guys luck, after getting over the way we embarrassed ourselves against you.
Because of TBS I watched more Braves games when I was little then Reds games, despite living only 20 miles from GABP. I was very sad when Skip died, and I would like to see Bobby do well in his final year.

Hey someone tell the Mets , LOL.
Someone needs to tell the Mets that they are not playing the O’s or the Indians anymore what a bunch of fakers and pretenders. Ho hum another series win for the Bravos. Huddy is back, pitching is solid and the bullpen has been the strongest part of this ballclub. Last time I can remember the bullpen being close to this good was when we had D. Holmes and C. Hammond (both of whom were considered past their primes).
Simply put this team keeps winning and getting no attention from the mainstream media which is fine by me (love being the underdog entrenched under the radar screen).
Noticed Y. Escobar is now batting way towards bottom of the order I believe it was 8th in the order today and he had to singles. Still cannot believe the guy has no homers at this stage of the season. Hopefully he can find his stroke in the second half and trading him would be foolish. I would still like to add one more OF however at the deadline but not a damn rental player at least a guy we can keep around for a couple of years and nobody named Corey Hart plz. DEAR GOD !
Go Braves man it is great to see us back on top where we truly belong.

I will say he has been very solid his recent starts though
As long as he can keep the sinker down he is fine, but when it is elevated it is crushed

My biggest gripe with Lowe is that he is going up against other teams Aces. He is not good enough for those battles. Going up against a 3 or 4 maybe.

I think he'll do it based on who's pitching well at the time.
I know he values the veteran presence and all (and Lowe has been a good playoff pitcher), but I think he’ll keep him out of a key matchup if he doesn’t pitch really well down the stretch.

That’s probably not fair. Schuerholz traded Adam Wainwright for a rental year of JD Drew. At least he got us to the playoffs though. I guess every GM makes bad deals, but Philips just seemed adept at it.

just did whatever his crazy whim was on a given day. Occasionally, it worked. Often, it was hilariously bad. But he was always entertaining.

as quick as possible, can you explain why you are against the Teix trade but in favor of the Drew trade…the Tex trade had it worked out would have given us over a year and a half of one of the best 1B in baseball…
I feel like the Tex trade is looked at poorly bc Andrus and Feliz turnd out so well (and the odds of that happening werent good, u usually dont trade for two guys who are in low A and have them both turn into starters) and bc we got nothing when we traded Tex (which is completely irrelveant when discussing the actual trade itself

Well, assuming we got him,
we wouldn’t be making a long-term investment at all. He’s owed about $5M the rest of this year and then I believe he has one more year of arbitration. Which would prob. come out around $14-15M. That’s reasonable, and at the end of that we could let him walk and take the prospects.
I wouldn’t trade for him because we don’t really need a 1B, but it wouldn’t be a long-term thing and he’s an excellent hitter right now. He’s not one-dimensional, either. Or selfish. Where are you even getting that from?

Don’t go ruining our good vibe.
I got into some major discussions of this last year. That thing seemed more like it was designed to rub the Giants face in a tough loss and celebrate the Wonder of Prince rather than celebrate their own win. That took place on the field, in full view of the Giants as they walked off. Our empty dugout thing took place in the Braves dugout and locker room. Very different things.

They said at the time
that they were going to do it for whoever hit the next walkoff HR. It happened to be Prince. Wasn’t about him at all. Also, they apologized later and said they wouldn’t do it again.
Your characterization of him as a player is all wrong, too. He’s a complete hitter, not just a HR guy. Though he hits lots of those, and that is a good thing.

I really don’t think he’s a 14-15 mil per year kind of guy though. Don’t get me wrong, his power is outrageous, but he’s limited to 1B and eventually DH, and frankly we have bigger needs elsewhere.

LeBron didn’t have Phil Jackson as a coach either.
There is no way that you can say, “man for man” the Cavs were better than the Lakers..
Taking out Lebron and Kobe..
Fisher vs Mo Williams: This might be the only thing that maybe close. Fisher may not be able to take over a game like Mo, but he is more consistent and more of a track record of hitting key shots.
Artest for Parker: Artest has long been known has one of the best one on one defenders in the league. He doesn’t hit many shots, but neither does parker. Parker sucks, end of story.
Gasol vs Jamison: Gasol is one of the best post player in the NBA, offensively and defensively. Jamison can knock down some shots, but can’t really create like he once could. And he never really has played defense.
Bynum vs Varejao This really isn’t close. Sure Varejao is a good defender, but Bynum is just as good, a better shot blocker and can actually score in the post.
Odom vs Shaq: As the sixth man, there is not really a contest here. Shaq is well past his prime. Odom is one of the most versatile players in the NBA.
Definitely right.
Shaq and ilgauskas could totes run circles around Gasol and Odom, huh? I mean, man-for-man.
By the way, Kobe quit on his team in the Finals, too. His teammates were just good enough to pick him up in his shitty game seven, unike Lebron’s.

Not really the year of the pitcher
League-wide scoring is down like .15 runs. Instead of 4.62 runs per game, it’s 4.47. In 1992, league-wide scoring was 4.12 runs per game.
The real year of the pitcher was 1968, when run scoring was down to a paltry 3.4 runs per game. 7 different starters had ERAs under 2 that year.
immediately go on a 9 game losing streak?

That was on a fast gun.
He can hit 100 for real though.
As for where he is, he’s in AAA and they’ve switched him to relief for now. He’s walking a TON of guys.

He recently started transitioning to the bullpen in AAA.
He’ll probably be up as a reliever pretty soon after the break.

Another really questionable decision with a starting prospect
The kid has really raw secondary stuff but a live fastball. He needs to develop his secondary pitchers, but he’s being converted to where he’ll rely more on his fastball so the Reds can boost their playoff run. Given some development, he’d have the chance to become a really good starter.
I might understand if the Reds had real problems in the bullpen and needed someone to step in and take over the 8th or 9th inning, but they haven’t been that bad. Cordero hasn’t been great, but he’s firmly entrenched as their closer unless he completely blows up. They’ve also got Arthur Rhodes back there, and a few other decent arms. I think this is a bad move for the Reds, who might be able to ride their young talent for several years if they can improve their pitching a bit. Chapman’s potential value as a starter could really become important in 2-3 years for them, so slowing his development to make one playoff run is a bit questionable.
if this is their plan then its ok…
old school way of breaking in a pitcher…using him as a reliever for half a season than he starts all next year (like what the Rays did with Price)
Heyward,Hanson,and Shaffer r ready now!! Why do you think they havent signed the "right handed bat"?
by fatazfoot on Jan 7, 2009 8:59 PM EST
Yes, but the old-school method was to take guys who were almost ready to become big league plaeyrs and let them get their first taste of MLB out of the bullpen. What they’re doing here is taking a guy who has a plus fastball and little else because he’s raw and undeveloped, and forcing him to rely more on his fastball to get hitters out. It slows down his development, and for this team….I can’t agree with it. The Reds are pretty young with a solid core, and can be competitive for several years with improved starting pitching. Slowing the development of your top starting prospect is a questionable move.
He's got tons of crap to work on now.
He needs to be in the minors. If they bring him up this year, they’re asking for trouble.

We had a similar discussion at RR
I was initially against moving Chapman, but I have moved.
Our bullpen has struggled this year, outside of Rhodes there really isn’t a dependable arm down there, Masset, and Orunsderk have shown signs lately, Bray had TJS last year and is just back from it, Owings is a long man with limited stuff and control issues (an awful combination), Smith is fresh up from AA, and Coco has a WHIP of 1.55. A 100 MPH fastball might help.
Plus how to develop a kid is a crap shot. There can be an argument made that it is better for him to stay in AAA and work on his secondary pitches and pitch efficiency every 5th day. Yet another argument can be made that his pure stuff is just too good for AAA, and the only way he will learn how to pitch is against big leaguers who won’t all be over matched by a 100 MPH fastball.
Plus he will only lose two months of minor league development. The Reds need bullpen help and a lefty who throws 100 MPH can go a long way.

There's definitely two sides to it
But in most cases, I’m going to fall on the side of leaving prospects down. Even if, as you say, his fastball is too dominating for AAA hitters, you can always give him instructions to avoid throwing it, even if he gets in trouble. The ultimate goal for any minor league team is not to win games, but to develop talent, so if he gets knocked out while avoiding his fastball, it’s not a big deal. While on the big league club, though, it’s not about developing, but only results, and a typical relief pitcher will throw fastballs 80% of the time, and won’t use more than two pitches.
If he wants to succeed as a starter, he’ll need more than just two pitches, but it’s tough for relief pitchers, who get limited opportunities to work, to keep a third pitch sharp. Relief pitchers don’t know when they’re going to be needed in games, so they don’t get the same kind of work between outings that starters do with actual intensive throwing sessions. They can’t put too much strain on their arms on any given day in case they’re needed to throw later that night. It’s not the same as actual in-game work.
I don’t think the Reds’ bullpen situation is that bad. They’re set in the 9th inning with a decent closer, and Arthur Rhodes has been dominant. Nick Masset is better than his results would indicate-he’s a strike out machine most nights, but he’s getting killed on things like BABIP and HR/FB% which are generally beyond a pitcher’s control. Herrerra is an average, unremarkable LOOGY. It doesn’t take much else to put together a solid bullpen.
The Reds are young enough and talented enough that they’ll have more opportunities to make the playoffs, and ultimately, a couple of months’ extra development for Chapman now could pay big dividends in 2012. It would be much better not to get his arbitration clock started until he’s ready to be a starter. It’s similar to what the Mets did with Mejia this year-he wasn’t that valuable in the bullpen, but they started his arbitration clock so he could get less than 30 innings of unexceptional bullpen work in the big leagues, when he has the potential to be a really solid starter in two seasons.
About the only time I agree with the decision is in the case of the Rays with David Price. They had all kinds of bullpen issues, and couldn’t keep anyone healthy once he’d been named the closer, and they had a legitimate playoff team that just needed someone at the back end to get three outs. They just didn’t have that, and Price was really close to being ready to break into the rotation anyway. They waited until really late in the year to call him up, and didn’t waste time converting him to a reliever at AAA, just had him continue starting all year until he reached the big leagues. He had a great playoff run with them, and was ready to be a member of the rotation the next season.
That...

I see your point
But Cordero is lucky, not solid.
He has a WHIP of 1.55, his K/9 has fallen in each of the last 3 seasons, while his BB/9 has risen to 4.87/9.
Cordero is old and perhaps he is falling of the cliff, and I honestly wouldn’t be shocked if he blows up before the season is over.
I think the Reds could use another big time power arm in the ’pen.

we also had another young hard throwing pitchers whose pure stuff dominated the Minors
It took big league failure for Homer Bailey to really figure out that he needed more than a 12-6 curve ball and a 96 MPH fastball to last in the Big Leagues.
He finally put together a good string of starts over the course of the final 6 weeks last year, and he was putting it together in his final 3 or 4 starts before hitting the DL this year.
Also Chapman can go back to the AAA rotation next season if he needs to. He is on a big league contract so his option for 2010 was burned after he was demoted in March. So this won’t really change his option status.

If Cincy weren’t in playoff contention, I’d agree with you. However, do you really want a flamethrower with control problems in your major league bullpen, or do you want him to work those issues out in Louisville while your big league club has been performing fine without him?
