Johan Practically Guarantees He Won’t Give Up Another Run This Season
Posted by Señor Met in New York Mets on April 18th, 2009
And if the Mets can score at least one run like they did today, then Johan will be the unanimous Cy Young Award winner.
Mets win 1-0.
Johan can carry us through the postseason this year… If we can just make the postseason this year.
Santana (2-1) has allowed only one earned run in 19 2/3 innings so far this season. A ridiculous 0.46 ERA. The Mets high powered offense has scored a whopping four runs during Johan’s three starts.
Johan Santana
Jose Reyes is the hero at the plate with the game’s only RBI. If of course you can consider a fielders choice, run scoring ground out the definition of a hero.
More importantly, the Mets 1-2 punch in the bullpen with Putz and Rodriguez has shortened the games to 7 innings. Both locked down the win today allowing only one base runner combined.
The strength in the bullpen takes care of 1/2 of the issues that affect Johan’s ability to win 25 – 30 games this season.
If, and this is a much bigger if, the Mets offense doesn’t take a day off every time Johan pitches and instead performs like they should, we could be watching the greatest pitching season of the modern era.

Well today was fun. Johan did what he always does and our new bullpen looked lights out. props to greeny and putz for getting us to franciso i mean K-RODDDDD!!!!! I was ok at the plate today but sucked on the basepaths. I got caught thinking about my girlfriend in the fifth, and a new vitamin water flavor in the seventh. Ha just kidding?!
