couple of tidbits
from Trent.

He says it was Hanigan instead of Jorgensen because Jorgensen had a "personal commitment."  That's kind of strange.  I think most minor leaguers would skip their own weddings for a trip to the show.

He also says Mackanin called him into his office to talk about why he pinch-hit Ellison.  He wasn't angry or anything, he just likes debating that kind of thing.  Trent wasn't allowed to reveal the reasons for the decision.  But he says it was based on careful thought and information fans and beat writers don't have access to.  And that he'd probably do what Mackanin did, if he knew what Mackanin knew.

Hmmm....

Ellison's having a bad year
But if you look at his 3-year average vs. lefties, you can see why the Reds took a chance on him.

 AVG    OBP    SLG    OPS
.320   .369   .476   .845

The Reds have so many lefties it's not even funny. Even in Louisville, all the outfielders are lefties.  Except Jeff Bannon, who's not really an outfielder.

I would be too
if someone trades for Freel.  Otherwise, Freel's money is guaranteed.  At this point, I'm pretty convinced that Hopper is a better asset to the team than Freel, but his contract may dictate that we keep him.  Hopper should have thought about that before he crushed Farney's head in an attempt to steal his job.

by Brendanukkah on Sep 4, 2007 9:24 PM EDT up reply actions  

not to get all economics professor and stuff
but sunk costs.  If Hopper produces better, then just imagine that he is making Freel's money.  And then get all Matrix and realize there is no Freel.

by Slyde on Sep 4, 2007 9:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yes but
Hopper would be an added cost.  If they're trying to manage payroll costs, and deem that Hopper and Freel basically fill the same function (and Freel can play  the infield!), then keeping Hopper would be superfluous.

by Brendanukkah on Sep 4, 2007 9:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm aware of his guaranteed contract
just sayin' that's what I'd do with all that monopoly money. (Actually, I'd probably dictch both of them)

So I'm sitting here eating my ice cream
and tHom sez that LLM is coming into the game and I think, "hmm, did the Mets change pitchers while I wasn't looking?"  And then they go into a long conversation about how Loose McKanin thinks that 14 ABs is not enough to know whether LLM can hit lefties and I think, "hmmm, he's had about 270 PAs against lefties in his career and has a 70 OPS+.  It's not a lot of PAs, but it's still a 70 OPS+.  And besides, the rosters are HUGE now, including a hot hitting Elpidio on the bench."

I do not understand why LLM ever bats right handed.  I just don't.

You mock him
but he's right.  The Reds are 62-0 this year when they outscore their opponents.  They are 0-75 when the pitching staff allows more runs than the offense scores.

So, what I'm saying is that it is entirely the pitching staff's fault when they lose.

Nats-Marlins update
Down 3-2 in the ninth, the Nationals put two runners on (Wily Mo choked up and went the other way with two strikes).  Ronnie Belliard stupidly tries to bunt, pops it up foul and the first baseman catches it.  Two outs.  Next batter, Jesus Flores, drives one into the corner, and Wily Mo scores all the way from first with the winning run.

Never underestimate the power of Jesus.

by BubbaFan on Sep 4, 2007 10:00 PM EDT reply actions  

The inning of death
That's because Pete is channeling Jerry and using Coffey again, and again, and again.

Sure, some people might use logic and number to show that Todd Coffey is not a very good major league pitcher, that he is, in fact, pretty bad.  These same people might say the same of Phil Dumatrait, Mike Stanton, and a few other people that the Reds have run out there this year on a regular basis.

But you'd be wrong! Because this isn't just a game of numbers. Sure, you need to score more runs than the opposition, Thom Brennaman says so, to win.

But there is DEEP STRATEGY  involved here.  Why would an allegedly intelligent professional baseball man use bad pitchers repeatedly?  Why?  Why? Why?

I don't know.
