Not much to go off here. Didn't realize that Billingsly walked as many batters as he does. Again, key to see if the Reds are patient with him and don't get themselves out.

Small sample size, but it looks like these Dodgers hit Belisle pretty well. I don't have a great feeling about tonight.

I wouldn't have a great feeling about tonight if the Reds were going up against a Traveling All-Stars from an all 19 and under Tri-County Team... With Beisle pitching, the Reds would still get outscored...

Wait, atleast it is not Fogg...

[goreds2]

Not the stopper type pitcher we want after a tough loss the previous night. (Make me eat my words, Matt - :) )

[schmidty622]

I'm feeling a LOSS

[Homer Bailey]

6 IP, 3 ER is all I need out of Belisle.

Wasn't Marty and the other guy calling the Game talking about how they were upset at some Reds fan from Arizona texting or emailing them about they are crazy for supporting Matt Beilsle and Josh Fogg? They were like Fogg won on some pretty horriblke teams up until last year and MB did win 8 Games Last year... Ha Ha...

It is pretty hard to defend these 2 Pitchers...

A quality start from MB tonight? I hope so, but Logic says.... Nope...

He is pulled by the 4th

He'll make it through 5, with probably 4 or 5 runs given up. Bold prediction.

Matt Belisle pitches a gem tonight. Gut feeling. 7 innings 4 hits 1 earned run. Let's hope Dusty doesn't run him back out there for the 8th. I still think Belisle is a 5th starter type pitcher. But even 5th starter types throw some pretty good games on occasion. They don't get blown up every time out on the mound. And Matt is no exception. I am more concerned about whether giving up only 1 earned run will be good enough to get him the win. There is no telling how many unearned runs (thanks, defense) or late game runs (thanks, bullpen) will show up on the scoreboard for the Dodgers. Hopefully the offense will stay consistent and put up a handful. I see a win tonight. 5 -3 Reds.

Dude, way to be optimistic, but today is 5/20, not 4/20

:) And I thought it was a month-long celebration. My bad. :)

[Handofdeath]

But even 5th starter types throw some pretty good games on occasion.

Exactly, as much as Eric Milton was lambasted as a Red, there were occasions when he would dominate.

[TheBigLebowski]

I'm calling 5.1 IP, 4 ER. That'll keep us in the game.

[bluesanta]

Please Belisle, don't do horribly.:( Let's keep the ERA in the single digits tonight, and pray that Dunn keeps hot.
