Que no haya alcanzado las 20 victorias permite apreciar otra arista de la calidad de Johan Santana como lanzador. Su regularidad para mantener los partidos cerrados. En la segunda mitad de la temporada Santana dej\u00c3\u00b3 record de 8-0 en 15 aperturas con efectividad de 2.17.<\/p>\n
Para un lanzador que debuta en la Liga Nacional dejar balance de 16-7 (4to en triunfos), 2.53 (lider) de efectividad y 206 ponches (4to) son n\u00c3\u00bameros que justifican su presencia entre la \u00c3\u00a9lite de los pitchers de la actualidad en Grandes Ligas.<\/p>\n
Por otro lado varios de los juegos donde no tuvo decisi\u00c3\u00b3n el bullpen de los Mets fue incapaz de preservar la ventaja que dej\u00c3\u00b3 Santana al salir.<\/p>\n
Brandon Webb (22-7, 3.30, 183), Tim Lincecum (18-5, 2.62, 265) son quienes en principio disputar\u00c3\u00adan con Santana el t\u00c3\u00adtulo del mejor lanzador de la Liga Nacional en 2008.<\/p>\n
Un punto a tener en cuenta m\u00c3\u00a1s all\u00c3\u00a1 de las estad\u00c3\u00adsticas es lo que significa para un equipo la presencia de un pitcher en el mont\u00c3\u00adculo, Santana demostr\u00c3\u00b3 su valor cuando el pen\u00c3\u00baltimo d\u00c3\u00ada de la temporada pidi\u00c3\u00b3 la pelota para lanzar con tres d\u00c3\u00adas de descanso y respondi\u00c3\u00b3 con un blanqueo (2-0) ante la respetable ofensiva de los Marlins de Florida. Con esa victoria los Mets igualaron a Milwaukee en la lucha por el comod\u00c3\u00adn.<\/p>\n
La l\u00c3\u00b3gica dice que Webb o Lincecum deber\u00c3\u00adan ganar el Cy Young, pero de tomarse en consideraci\u00c3\u00b3n\u00c2\u00a0 que Santana no perdi\u00c3\u00b3 despu\u00c3\u00a9s del Juego de Estrellas la decisi\u00c3\u00b3n pudiera tornarse muy cerrada.<\/p>\n
English Translation <\/strong><\/p>\n That he hasn`t got the 20 victories allows to see another side of the quality of Johan Santana as a competitive pitcher. His regularity to keep the games very close. Santana left an 8-0 record in 15 starts with a 2.17 ERA, after the All Star Game.<\/p>\n For a pitcher in his first season in the National League to set a 16-7 record (4th in wins), 2.53 ERA (leader) and 206 struckouts (4th) justifies his presence in the elite of the MLB pitchers.<\/p>\n On the other hand, many of the games where he didn’t got a decision, the Mets’ bullpen was unable of keeping the edge Santana left.<\/p>\n Brandon Webb (22-7, 3.30, 183) and Tim Lincecum (18-5, 2.62, 265) should be who along with Santana will dispute the title of the Best Pitcher of the National League in 2008.<\/p>\n A point to take into account beyond the numbers it’s what mean for a team the presence of a specific pitcher in the mound. Santana made that point the day before the end of the regular season. He asked the manager for the ball and pitched with only three days of rest. He defeated the Florida Marlins 2-0. With that win the Mets tied the Milwaukee Brewers for the wild card berth.<\/p>\n Logics says that Webb or Lincecum should win the Cy Young. But if it’s considered that Santana didn`t lose a game after the All Star Game the decision could get very close.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":75,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
