1995: Braves beat Rox to extend streak to five (Rain Delay)

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 22:13:39 GMT

June 18th 1995, Colorado: Braves 9, Rockies 4 (Box Score) Kent Mercker (amazingly enough) would get all the runs he would need in the top of the first inning. The Braves would explode for four runs on 5 hits to jump out to an early lead off the Rockies and Marvin Freeman. Chipper Jones, Javy Lopez, [...]

1995: Dodgers double up Braves (Rain Delay)

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 06:50:22 GMT

June 1st 1995, Atlanta: Braves 3, Dodgers 6 (Box Score) What can you say about Kent Mercker that hasn’t already been said. This would be another uninspiring start from the Braves fifth spot in the rotation. Not quite the revolving door then as it is now, but even in 1995 things were lean when it came [...]

Belisle Down, Mercker Returns (Cincinnati Reds Blog)

Fri, 30 May 2008 01:19:00 GMT

Another shoe has dropped, as Matt Belisle was optioned to Louisville to make room for Kent Mercker to be activated from the disabled list. Belisle was scheduled to start on Saturday, but now Josh Fogg will take that assignment. The problem here is that, once again, the Reds have no long man in the bullpen. That weakness was revealed in the Sunday 18-inning game, when Fogg was used earlier...

Matt Belisle Optioned to Triple-A (Red Reporter)

Thu, 29 May 2008 20:27:03 GMT

From John Fay : From the Reds: Today the Reds Optioned to Clas AAA Louisville RHP Matt Belisle, and re-instated LHP Kent Mercker from the 15-Day DL. Josh Fogg will start Saturday's game vs. Atlanta. Hopefully, Matt can get on track and establish some value at Triple-A. Fogg is not the answer, but maybe a decent stop-gap for a start or two until Homer or Darryl Thompson comes up. If nothing...

1995: More bottom of the ninth heroics.. (Rain Delay)

Wed, 21 May 2008 06:32:49 GMT

May 20th 1995, Atlanta: Braves 8, Marlins 7 (Box Score) I may give Kent Mercker a bad rap most of the time, I mean he made me nervous every time he took the mound. Nervous, but not in a Chuck James or Dan Kolb nervous. Just enough to make me edgy on his starts, but then [...]

May 15th 1995, Atlanta: Braves 4, Rockies 0 (Box Score) After loosing two of three to the Cincinnati Reds, it was time to welcome the Colorado Rockies to the Launching Pad for a four game set.

Joe Blanton, Kent Mercker and Jay Bruce (The Cutting Edge)

Mon, 11 Feb 2008 01:51:16 GMT

The Reds are in talks with the Athletics and while a deal didn't seem imminent, it looks like the Reds are looking at Joe Blanton as an option in their rotation. Joey Votto is a Billy Beane type of player and I’d assume he’d be at the front of the list for Blanton but [...]
