Defeatism

[metirish]

In 112 career starts Perez has only started one on short reast.

While Suppan has crappy overall numbers away from home this season, he hasn't allowed an earned run in his last three away games. His poor overall numbers are dragged down by poor starts against the Braves (9 ER), the Padres (7 ER), and the Pirates (8 ER). His last such start took place more than 3 months ago.

Since July 15, his Away line reads:

7 GS, 42.7 IP, 1.90 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 21 K, 11 BB, 2 HR

We're gonna fucking lose. Suppan has been lights out the second half and is a big-game pitcher. He beat Asshead in Game 7 in 2004 and he should have no problem beating Oliver Perez.

[Willets Point]

No team in major league history has won more do-or-die Game 7s than the Cardinals, who are 9-4 in those instances.
