W-LERAWHIPKBB
2008 - Aaron Harang 0-1 2.77 1.08 12 5
W-LERAWHIPKBB
2008 - Carlos Villanueva 1-0 3.38 1.96 6 2

It's an early game today with a start time of 7:05 am in Hawaii.  I'll admit that I was surprised to see that Harang's numbers are so good through his first two starts as it felt like he hadn't pitched as well as we're used to.  His walks are a little higher than we've seen in the past, but other than that I'll take his numbers expanded out over a whole season right now.  Of course, then he'd be 0-17 and that wouldn't be so good, but other than that...

Villanueva's a pretty good young pitcher, but he'll walk his share of batters.  The Reds need to continue to be patient, while being aggressive.  Yeah, that's it.  Patiently aggressive.  Somebody trademark that!

Something like that.

Reminds me..

I was scanning yesterday's threads and I saw your post about the fella with the choice seat next to the ladies room. I used to manage a coffee shop and we had a similar problem with a customer who knew exactly where he wanted to sit every morning and we figured out exactly why he wanted to sit there. My solution?.. Remove the chair. That, and a disciplinary browbeating got him out of my hair. Perhaps you could suggest that your local offender's bench should be temporarily/permanently moved. G'luck.

Now a question of etiquette; as I pass, do I give you the ass or the crotch...?

by Fat Vegas Alan on Apr 10, 2008 12:14 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

They have moved the bench

but it's kind of a narrow atrium area on the way to the ladies' room, so it really it doesn't matter.

In typical passive agressive fashion, many people complain about him, but I know no one other than me who has asked him to leave.

It seems strange to say, but

Shouldn't Bako be higher up? He's been pretty hot lately. And maybe drop Edwin down into the 8 hole.

by Brendanukkah on Apr 10, 2008 12:19 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

No, bat him 9th

Look what that did for Kendall. He went from a .200 hitter last year to a .500 hitter this year.

Gotta say, batting the pitcher 8th has paid off pretty well for Milwaukee thus far

Also, I believe Kendall got Lasik surgery in the offseason. At least, that's what some of the Brew Crew Ballers have been attributing his success too (tongue in cheek, of course).

Votto

I know I may be in the minority, but when Gonzalez gets back, I'd vote for Votto to go down and play every day and get going. I could live with a Hatte/Kepp platoon, with Kepp also spelling the other infielders. We aren't doing Votto any favors giving him one AB a game. I'm pretty sure the Reds will take this direction once Gonzalez or Ross gets back

they pay a person about one years tuition to teach this class, there are 3 different sections each meet once a week for an hour. The even better part is she is so qualified she is a retired kindergartin teacher.
