Game 27 Thread: Reds at Cardinals

Cincinnati Reds @ St. Louis Cardinals



Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ St. Louis Cardinals

Monday, Apr 28, 2008, 8:15 PM EDT
Busch Stadium

Bronson Arroyo vs Todd Wellemeyer

Partly cloudy. Winds blowing out to center field at 10-20 m.p.h.
Game Time temperature: Around 50.

 

Complete Coverage >


610x_medium   340x_medium
Al Behrman/AP (Arroyo), Tom Gannam/AP (Wellemeyer)


W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Bronson Arroyo 0-3 7.56 1.84 23 9


W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Todd Wellemeyer 2-0 3.77 1.13 31 10

Wellemeyer spent his first 4.5 years in the Majors as a reliever and the results were very meh.  Borderline bleh even.  Then he gets picked up by St. Louis off of waivers, is put in the starting rotation, and has since posted a 5-1 record with a 3.70 ERA while striking out  7.5 per 9IP and walking 3.7 per 9IP.  This leads me to believe this one irrefutable fact:  Dave Duncan is a witch.

Here's a fun nugget: Bronson Arroyo has pitched in a game following a win in 3 of his 5 starts this year.  In those games he has pitched 15 total innings with an ERA of 10.80, taking the loss in all three games.  My point in all of this is, it's all Bronson's fault.  Everything.  Well, except for the parts that are obviously Dunn and Juniors fault.

I think it's right about time for the first three-game win streak of the season, don't you?

It's hard to argue against him.

The fact of the matter is, Patterson is terrible lately, and Freel is only playing once every four days. Common sense says that with how much the Reds are paying him, that would have been addressed by now. This one’s on Dusty and his man-crush on C-Pat.

It's probably not helpful to have this out in the media

but, on the bright side, it might force the Reds to do something about the crazy Patterson/Freel/Hairston/Hopper situation. Of course, that “something” might be terrifying.

I can't see anything they do about this being that devastating.

Any move they make with those four is going to be a step in the right direction, unless it’s signing any of them to a contract extension. And if the answer isn’t going to be any of them, it’s surely going to be Jay Bruce, and I don’t think anyone would be strongly against that.

it all rides on this pitch, unless he fouls it off.

Good job by Bako to go calm him down, he’s mad about that non-call.

I was wondering why GD was showing a coaching visit to the mound…seemed like an odd situation for that.

yep

given that Pujols, Duncan, and Glaus came up with at least 2 men on each, one run is not a bad result

Well that...

Was about as much of a relief as passing a kidney stone…

At least it wasn't Grady Little.

maybe he can throw 6 innings today

it may take him a Dusty-esque 130 pitches to do it though.

It allways comes down to:

two outs and men in scoring position. Its the name of the game.

I always thought...

That it was trying to score more runs than the other team.

That’s what Randy Myers said before the 1990 WS, when asked what he thought the Reds needed to do to beat the A’s (probably for the 200th time).

At least it wasn't Grady Little.

Just thank goodness it doesn't come down to...

If Bako keeps hitting (big if)

What do we do about the three catchers situation? Who goes?

what will we do...

without a 3rd catcher?

You haven't gotten the memo?

“Valentin is not the third catcher. Javier Valentin is a switch-hitting pinch-hitter who happens to be able to play catcher.”

If Ross's back problems are real

then he might be done as a catcher. And he has no real value as anything else. I keep Bako this year and make a catcher part of the off-season To Do list

If he can't get a bunt down

He doesn’t need to be in the game!!! YYYYEEEAAAAAAARRRGGGHHHH!

Invariably...

When the pitcher fails to get a bunt down, the next guy singles.
