Game 24 Thread: Reds at Giants

Cincinnati Reds at San Francisco Giants, Apr 25, 2008 10:15 PM EDT



Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ San Francisco Giants

Friday, Apr 25, 2008, 10:15 PM EDT
AT&T Park

Aaron Harang vs Jonathan Sanchez

Partly cloudy. Winds blowing out to right field at 5-15 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 60.

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Aaron Harang 1-2 2.83 0.94 29 7


W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Jonathan Sanchez 1-1 4.50 1.40 26 10

A west coast trip for a three game series?  Maybe this one won't turn out as bad as the typical west coast trip.

I was surprised that it was Harang's night to pitch.  The week goes by fast when there are no game threads.  Hopefully he can keep his personal good mojo going.

Sanchez has made these 4 starts this year:

4 IP, 7 runs
6 IP, 0 runs
5 IP, 4 runs
5 IP, 0 runs

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?  He's due to feel the force of a fully operational Reds lineup.  Does that make any sense?  Who cares, it's Friday night.  Crack open a beer and let the California dreamin' seep into your soul.

We are lucky --

My wife and I are in SF and will see tonight’s game and Sunday’s. With all the losing they are doing, we are hoping to see two wins.

AT&T Park, from the outside, is beautiful, but we are bringing jackets and a blanket. As Mark Twain said, roughly, the coldest winter he ever spent was summer in San Francisco.

I’m an old-school-defend-him-to-the-death Junior fan, but the days of him being a #3 are over. With that personnel, I go like this:

Hairston
Keppinger
Dunn
Edwin
Junior
Votto
Freel
Ross
Harang

I went digging...

..and found this (scroll down jsut a tad).

I think this is the only time Dusty has had Kepp behind Dunn. The Reds scored a bunch of runs and won big but if I trust my first glance at the PBP I can only say that the Dunn-Kepp element kinda worked. Dunn sac-flied Griffey in and BP advanced on a throwing error. Kepp then knocked BP in.

Bailey threw behind Kata and was warned. Now he’s hit Josh Wilson. The Indians want him ejected, but they’re letting him stay in.

He’s given up two homers and three walks so far.

It’s the first time he’s hit someone all season.

fastest Uk player in years, and when he has been healthy has one hell of an outside shot. But besides patterson, meeks, and miller maybe getting around 50 points a game, the rest of the team would be lucky to get ten

Freel

Speaking of the Cubs game, Reed Johnson just caught a fly ball from Felipe Lopez as he dove head first into the left-centerfield fence. It reminded me of Freel laying out on the warning track in one of his first eye-popping suicidal plays several years ago . . . except Reed johnson looked like he was in slow motion compared to Freel.

So I went to You Tube thinking there would be several Freel compilations of web gems. Instead, there was one still-shot montage that I had to stop 15 seconds into. There are two explanations for the sad You Tube Freel library: (1) no one cares, or (2) there were several videos, but the MLB police rounded them up and set them afire.

I suppose I could go to the MLB video library and search on Freel, but who knows all the crap I would have to cut through. And then, I’d get flooded with spam from MLB Shop.

No, not that one.

that was the ESPN web gem of the year that season.

I was thinking of the one where he was in center and he dove straight back into the wall at full speed. Actually, I think he did that twice, but the one I’m thinking of was very early on.

I remember one when he did that against the Cardinals

to rob Pujols of a double and saved some runs from scoring. I think that was later in the ‘06 season though.

Dollars to donuts...

...the copyright police eradicated them all.

It’s pretty hard to keep a MLB clip up on YouTube for any length of time. Even if you don’t mention baseball or any players’ names, the MLB lawyers somehow track it down and demand that YouTube delete it. The file is also analyzed somehow, so no one else can upload it again.

Yes, I know this from experience. My vast collection of Bubba Crosby highlights has been deleted from YouTube, and I’ve been banned under multiple user IDs. :-P

Personally, I think MLB is being idiotic. Kinda like JK Rowling suing one of her fans. There’s no harm done. It’s free advertising. Let the fans have their fun.

You have no idea

A year or two ago we did a Spanish simulcast of a Reds game on one of our sister stations. MLB called WLW in the fifth inning and demanded that we kill the stream on said station. It was an honest mistake on the part of the programming staff since that station never carried MLB except in that instance. How the hell they knew that quickly that the game was being streamed in spanish on a peashooter of a station is beyond me. I was impressed.

Well Scrabbs - even Brandon needs a night off

Hair-Stunned has been hitting the ball, so until he comes down to earth I say play the hot hand. Why Dustbag keeps Dunn in 5 hole is a mystery. Maybe JCH should be making out the line up after Dustbag decides who he isgoing to play.

Joe

I remember when he did Reds broadcasts on WLWT in the late 80s, and all he did was talk about himself. Then he stopped doing that and started talking about the game. Then all the broadcasters suddenly felt they had to be smarter than everyone else instead of just telling us what’s going on. So, Joe changed again and tried to analyze. It’s too bad.
