Game Thread: Game 79 vs. the Royals

H_tiny by JD Arney on in News

TIME: 7:10 @ Great American Ball Park
                                       

ROYALS PROBABLE:              REDS PROBABLE:
Bobby Keppel (0-4, 4.78)       Bronson Arroyo (9-4, 2.58)

Hey, game 79, which means we're almost half way there. So far so good, no?

I can't say I've ever heard of Bobby Keppel, but he's had a rough time his last three starts. Hopefully the Reds will be able to take advantage of a weak pitcher tonight.

Go Reds!

Why didnt Narron pitch Standbridge or Belisle
That sucks. Throw in your trash pitchers when you got the lead. Where is that in the baseball book of common sense? Hammond and Weathers are mop up at best.

by dmcgee on Jun 29, 2006 9:47 PM EDT reply actions  

Because according to Krivsky last night
Hammond and Weathers have a "track record". You know what, Willie Mays had a track record when he played for the Mets...

If we get the win
Doesn't the official scorer have the right to name the winning pitcher? It's seldom invoked, but I think that's true. Anybody heard this?

by pw on Jun 29, 2006 10:01 PM EDT reply actions  

I've heard
That it's seldom invoked because no one wants to set precedent.

But I was waiting until after the W :)

But yeah, the scorer should definitely use his discretion tonight and give the win to Arroyo.

that is only if

Rule 10.19
MLB has the official rules available.

Official scorer may elect not to award the win to a reliever if his outing was "brief and ineffective," but in that case must award the win to a following pitcher who was effective.  In other words, it cannot be given to the starter if the lead was blown for him, regardless of whether he was by far the most effective pitcher in the game.

Also can't give both the win and save to the same pitcher.

Believe me when I say if I see either Weathers or Hammond in any sort of pressure situation, I'll be looking for Narron.
He gets a bye for now.

I suggest
you take water balloons or a peanut shooting sling shot to re enforce your point to Narron.

Bullpen
Ok something must be done. The bullpen is at Defcon 2 now. I think Weathers is hurt. Dl him and bring up someone. Utilize Belisle as the 8th inning guy.

Arroyo had a win stolen from him.

The Bullpen.

Man, Bronson must be fuming...
Narron was looking pissed in the dugout... frankly, I don't care. Unless someone tied him down or held a gun to his head and made him put Hammond and Weathers in, then I blame his moves for the blown save.
Weathers looked extremely hittable as recently as LAST NIGHT. Reggie Sanders was hitting .444 against Weathers when he came up, and surprise surprise, He GOT A HIT.
Hammond's best pitch is a 65 MPH changeup. I think everyone's figured this out by now.

Are we still worried about Belisle's back? I seriously want some sort of explanation as to why Belisle wasn't at least warming up...

This bullpen is pathetic. Blow it up.

2 out of 3
I'll take it. The Offense is coming around and some of the young players are getting it done. Bring on the Tribe. This could be real interesting because these guys have moments when the just kill the ball. Hopefully this week end will not be one of them. I hope the Lizard man goes through their line up like Godzilla through Toyko. 2 out of 3 from the Tribe would be a good way to keep things rolling. And those that we will not mention here will get it together this week end! you heard it here first.

Go Reds!

Was on a flight...
Else I would have used my special powers to try to get BA the win.

I think for my own sake, I am glad I missed this.  I would have probably thrown my monitor out the window in frustration in the 8th.  The comments were hilarious, however.

As for the B___pen, why not the "group of pitchers formerly known as..."?
