Los Angeles Dodgers at Cincinnati Reds, Apr 22, 2008 7:10 PM EDT

Hong-Chih Kuo is a 26-year old left-hander from Taiwan who has never faced anyone on the current roster. That does not bode well for the home team.
Volquez's control slipped a little in his last start, and despite throwing 282 pitches over 3 starts, he's yet to finish 6 whole innings in a start. I think tonight is the night he does that. The Dodgers used up all of their runs last night and they should be prepared to get run over by the wagon tonight.
Oh yeah, it's Totally Awesome 80s Night tonight! Let's bring back some of that Dodger hate from way back when and show those birds Who's the Boss! We're opening it up tonight to all things 80s, not just music. Everything is fair game, from TV to movies to to Ronald Regan's trickle down economic theory. Just say no to stupid 80s puns though. And be sure to rec the one you love since they can't rec themselves.
Editor's Note: Rick House will be unavailable to do the "Farmers Only" report this evening. If you would like to help a brother out and post a report in his stead, your effort will be honored with a front page bump. Thanks!

From Trent:
Another day, another leadoff hitter: Today’s attempt to get something started is putting recently recalled Jerry Hairston Jr. atop the lineup. His career OBP is .324, so it’s better than Corey Patterson’s. “Corey’s struggling some and we’re getting him some extra, extra, extra BP to get him back on track,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “Ryan (Freel) has historically been better against right-handers than left-handers. Jerry’s had that hot bat where he’s come from and hopefully he can give us some of that heat while it’s still fresh in here.”

God help me...the only decade in my life
(which spans from the 1940’s to present) worse than the 80’s was the 70’s….really bad fashion, scary politicians, and the Crummy Art… (some of the pop music/ movies were pretty good though)
and the 80’s really sucked for the Reds – kinda like the entire 21st century. – ANY WAY – Go Reds.
Needs some production from Donkey…need it now.
Go Edison – that reminds me Thomas Edison was around in the 80’s – 1880’s that is.
Oh God I just realized that Jerry Jr. is in CF. Hopefully its his one shot there before he’s sent back down and J is brought up.

they've done them
And it really helps the pitcher. The big key is throwing strikes 2 out of the first 3 pitches. The biggest one-pitch swing in the percentages lies not in the ifrst pitch, but it the difference between 1-2 and 2-1. In Moneyball Lewis described the A’s braintrust standing at attention for 1-1 deliveries.

Lenny Dykstra...
...must have read Moneyball. According to Lenny:
“You know the most important count in baseball?” he asks rhetorically as we stroll back to his hotel. “One-and-one. If it goes to two-one, a hitter hits .300. If it goes to one-and-two, he hits .100.”

He’s in it. Dykstra was contrasting with prospect Billy Beane. Lenny had that inner drive that made him succeed in baseball while Beane was always thinking too much.
