as i said just a moment ago in the now-expired thread...
That baby will not be pining, it will be passed on. This baby will be no more. It will have ceased to be. it will have expired and gone to meet its maker. This will be a late baby. It will be a stiff. Bereft of life, it will rest in peace. it will be pushing up the daisies. It’s almost rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-baby to be.

Fogg is remarkably hittable
I could probably hit it to the outfield off of him.

ps:
and I’m getting tired of Javier Valentin. He is a below average catcher and I think his hitting is overrated because he has hit a couple of key PH homers.

Why do they keep pitching FOGG???????
When we signed Dusty I was hopeful but had my reservations. When we were down 1-0 to the Pirates, we had Ryan Freel on first with no outs. Instead of bunting him over or trying to steal, Dusty let the hitters hit and what happened…..double play. Right then and there I knew that he doesn’t necessarily manage the game. When up against a left hander, which we hit terribly last year, Dusty bats four left handers. Is he serious? Why would you leave Josh Fogg in after he gives up four in the first, why…because you gave up Dusty….and he will say that he can’t go to the pen that early….what about Affedlt?...there are long relievers that could have left it at four and then we have a chance. If we don’t try to win every game like it is the last one we will play then there will be no sense of urgency. In closing, we are no better this year than the last and the playoffs don’t just knock on your door if you wish. This team has to play like Pete Rose played the game….balls to the wall. I am sick after tonights performance.
by Bobby the Butcher on Apr 16, 2008 9:43 PM EDT reply actions
cool down Bobbo
1. bunting is usually a bad idea. in almost every situation.
2. when we faced Gorzelanny in Pittsburgh, Dusty had every righty on this team in the lineup. and they scored 1.
3. pulling Fogg after the first would probably have been a bad idea. affeldt pitched yesterday and cant be counted on for more than 2 innings today. other than him, there arent too many guys out there that can give an extended relief appearence.
im no Dusty fan by any stretch, but if you want to pick on something he’s doing wrong then start with patterson and go from there.

How is bunting a bad idea?
With no outs and a speedster on first a sac bunt is a basic run scoring tactic. Please learn baseball before you tell me that bunting is a bad idea. Bunting for a hit almost never works, but moving runners over is how good teams win games. Also with less than two outs you need the runner on second to avoid the double play….cmon dude seriously learn about baseball and then start blogging.

i dont know much about sabermetrics
but i know statisically more runs are scored with a man on first and no outs than a man on 2nd with one out. This increases with a man on first and one out. There is always the worry of the double play, but still its probably still better to just swing

oh boy...
giving the opposing team outs is usually the least effective way of winning ball games. the sac bunt is not a “basic run scoring tactic”, its a big fucking waste of an out that very rarely puts the offensive team in a better position to score runs. i can tell you are a newbie here, this being your first post and all, so i’ll give you some friendly advice: dont bring your little league bullshit around here calling people out like you know what’s what. earn a little respect from your peers before you put your short dick on the table.

Moving runners over is a fundamental premise of low scoring games.
A sac bunt puts a runner on a base ahead of the base he was at. Obviously you are slow so here is the example. A sac bunt moves a runner on first to second. If that is not in a better position to score then I give up. If a runner is on second is that better than first base? I have to go do some research, but I think it may just be better. An extra base hit scores a run, a hit and run that is successful scores a run so there. Now take you sorry non baseball knowing ass and go learn the game instead just cussing. No wonder you know so much about little league….they probably didn’t even let you play.

if the runner is on second there are no outs…what are you taking about ? If he gets thrown out then there are no runners and one out. Please think before posting.

I'm disappointed
Just about every person that reads this site should know this argument. So why isn’t anybody earning their stripes? Well, besides Scrabbles and Sellout (or whatever the short version of his name is).
WHY SHOULD I CHANGE IT? HE'S THE ONE WHO SUCKS!
Look, it's not so much what you are saying as how you are saying it that is pissing me off right now
so chill out. Don’t bother with the insults. It’s pretty much not cool to show up new to a blog and start telling people they don’t know anything.
WHY SHOULD I CHANGE IT? HE'S THE ONE WHO SUCKS!
things are about to get interesting... me likey... :D
People Don't Kill People. Burning Couches Kill People.
Basically...
You get 27 outs in a 9 inning game right? Why would you simply give up an out simply to advance a runner one base? Remember, it takes 4 bases to score, and a sac bunt gives you only one of these bases as well as an out. Bunting with the pitcher is one thing, but when a batter actually has a legitimate chance of getting a hit, why would you jeopardize the chance for scoring multiple runs and having multiple runners for an out and 90 feet.
(It sounded good in my head)...

runners in scoring position
a runner on second is always going to be better than a runner on first
the sky is blue and not green
Baseball is about runs, not the potential for runs.
by Bobby the Butcher on Apr 16, 2008 10:15 PM EDT up reply actions
yet neither case is a run.
and the potential for runs is better with a runner on first and no outs than it is with a runner on 2nd and one out.
WHY SHOULD I CHANGE IT? HE'S THE ONE WHO SUCKS!
(You get 3 outs per inning) Just in case Bobby didn't know...
People Don't Kill People. Burning Couches Kill People.
doh
If you have a runner on first in a low scoring game with 6 outs left(reds v pirates) and you have been unsuccessful in knocking in runs then you have to manufacture them. You either try to steal and risk the out , hit and run and risk the double play, or you bunt the runner over. If it is early in the game then you are right you do not bunt anyone over because you have chances left. Usually in the ninth you face the reliever and always have a reduced chance of scoring.(unless you faced 07 reds). So you take that risk in the eighth and you sacrafice so that an extra base hit scores a run with a speedy guy on. A double with a man on first will not score runs most of the time. This way, you may fail and lose the game, but if you try to win then the fans see that, the team sees that, and it rubs off on guys.

So what you're saying..
is that sac bunting might not work… but at least it looks good?

I’m rarely the one to get lively here, but you’re full of shit and you know it.
“A double with a man on first will not score runs most of the time.”
You and I both know that’s a damned lie. Any decent baserunner that’s not a slow sonofabitch (Hatte/Javy/Junior) scores from first on a double to the wall.
And I agree with Slyde that you should probably at least introduce yourself before telling everyone here how dumb they are.

Sorry Sensative
We are all Reds fans and should know that that is what counts. We win together and we lose together. We should be able to give a little ribbing to someone without everyone in sensative land jumping on board. You can say what you want about me, call me names, whatever . I will still have a beer at a Reds game with you and laugh about our silly posts so calm down dude. When someone makes a mistake about the fundamentals of baseball, it is ok to point that out.

Thing is
we don’t know you. So if it’s a little ribbing, how are we supposed to know that? Your second comment ever on the site contained the phrase “cmon dude seriously learn about baseball and then start blogging.” That’s supposed to be joking? Sounds pretty insulting to me. Most people try to ease their way into a new site and get a feel for what’s acceptable and what’s not. That’s why you got the reaction that you got.

If you would have actually read some of the great content on this site before you posted, you’d have seen this page, part of the Sabermetric Overview Series that Red Menace posted. The first thing at the top of this page is called the Run Expectancy Matrix. This shows, in a nutshell, that with a runner on 1st and no outs, an average of .9259 runs are scored in the inning. Compare this to the .7104 runs scored with a runner on second and one out, which would be the result of the sacrifice bunt. That’s a dramatic drop-off. I’ll let you read the rest of RM’s post, because he says it better than I do, but you get the idea.
As for everyone being “sensative” (sic), all that’s happening is that people are just pointing out that you’ve made a mistake about the fundamentals of baseball, and as you say, that’s okay.

What was the last thing you read about baseball? There’s a substantial amount of literature being produced about the game that flies directly in the face of the things you are saying.
