Cleveland Indians @ Cincinnati Reds


 

Next Game

Cleveland Indians
@ Cincinnati Reds

Friday, May 16, 2008, 7:10 PM EDT
Great American Ball Park

Jeremy Sowers vs Johnny Cueto

Mostly clear. Winds blowing out to right field at 5-15 m.p.h.
Game Time temperature: Around 65.

 

Complete Coverage >

610x_medium   610x_medium
Tony Dejak/AP (Sowers - with Ross in the background after a HR), Al Behrman/AP (Cueto - pouncing off the mound like a bad ass)

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Jeremy Sowers 0-0 5.06 1.57 3 1

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Johnny Cueto 2-4 5.91 1.26 46 11

Sowers's career line against the Reds: 0-2, 9.60 ERA, 15 IP, 20 H, 6 HR

Number of times the Reds drafted Sowers and he didn't sign: 1

Number of times Sowers will get smacked around like a little bitch when he faces the Reds: X
(X = the number of starts Sowers will make against the Reds in his career).

The Indians have won 3 in a row and 8 of their last 10, but they haven't been hitting the ball very well - at least not over their last 5 games.  The Reds have also won 3 in a row, but only 6 of their last 10.  They have been hitting ball well over their last 5 games.  Plus, Johnny Cueto is a bad ass, albeit with a 5.91 ERA, while Jeremy Sowers is a little bitch.  Ergo, the Reds are in better position to win.  Where else can you get analysis like that on the internet?

Hey...

There’s two lefties in a row at 7-8. That’s not allowed in knifey-spooney.

Cueto should be batting before Bako therefore.

At least it wasn't Grady Little.

Homer in Lville

rough first inning. 3 walks. 26 pitches. A 2 run homer. The only thing that saved him was Hanigan threw out two guys trying to steal. Bats down 2-0

Bailey needs a MRI

I am glad yesterday’s game was rained out.

Homer needs to be looked over. Something isn’t right and he has been declining for weeks now. The offense he is going against tonight is one of the worst in AAA and a offense he handled easy during a April start.

You could argue he has been underperforming for 2 straight seasons now. Possibly a rotator cuff that had been fraying and finally blew?

Although, to be regionally fair, they’re from Lorain and Elyria. Maybe it’s just those places that are stupid.

Yup, MRI coming

Against such a weak offense. My guess his velocity is down and he can’t locate. Classic injury signs. He had it last year to but rest seemed to help as it did early into this season.

Maybe if we are lucky, but I bet it is bad.

by Johnnypronto on May 16, 2008 7:30 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He should be whiffing them down

Homer’s velocity has dropped to much and without a changeup, he can’t. We need to findout why his velocity has dropped down to the low 90’s.

by Johnnypronto on May 16, 2008 7:33 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Hmmm

Maybe that’s throwing him off balance. IIRC, he has trouble holding runners on.

I hate chris welsh

and jeff brantley. Is there a non-jackass former player to fill the void? At least someone without a mullet or pornstache.

Maybe the Reds should trade Bailey for Sowers

Bailey’s suspect health vs. Sowers lack of talent. Maybe Jerry learns how to be like Glavine and can paint the edge.

by Johnnypronto on May 16, 2008 7:57 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Hey, at least Jerry will still be able to pitch

Homer may be in college or hunting on his fathers egg farm this time next year

i'm pretty sure his name is jeremy

you are the only one who questions the health of Bailey's arm

sometimes pitchers lose command and/or velocity for a couple of starts. Arroyo’s velocity dipped without reason and now is back up to 88-91 instead of 85-88. Serisously the sample size for Bailey is way too small.

I don't think it's unreasonable to wonder about Homer's arm

but Johnny’s persistence is a little curious.

if he is still struggling in a month i'll worry about his arm

until then I see no reason to rush him into an MRI machine/

Arroyo never had that much velocity

Nor did his k/9 drop off the table(it actually has been up this year).

Homer has had 2 seasons of declining velocity, poor command and weak k/9. Something isn’t right with the kid. The Reds need to have a pre-cautionary exam at least. I wonder if they regret overworking Homer at the end of the 2006 season.

by Johnnypronto on May 16, 2008 8:02 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

he had a groin injury last year

it is hard to pitch with injured legs.

I think we all saw that Arroyo had two starts with little velocity.

by justin007000 on May 16, 2008 8:04 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Then why hasn't his velocity returned?

and his command is horrible after starting off well. Does he have another groin injury? The Reds have big bucks invested in Bailey, they need to findout what is the problem.

by Johnnypronto on May 16, 2008 8:07 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

did you see the game

because i just checked milb gamecast and they don’t have pitch speeds. So I have to take you at your word.

Previous reports

Indicated he was throwing at 91-92mph most of the game. I doubt, looking at his results tonight, he was throwing any harder.

Listen, I would love to hear any logical reason. But the guy has been bad of late after a promising start. Maybe he can’t throw well below 80 and needs warm temps. Maybe he is injured. Not trying to be a pest, but him going down would hurt….......alot.

by Johnnypronto on May 16, 2008 8:16 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

i just think he is inconsitant

and inconsitant mechanics can cause inconsitant velocity.

Yeah, but once again

In 2006 he was prided on his consistant mechanics and his high velocity. What is causing the inconsistant mechanics?

by Johnnypronto on May 16, 2008 8:18 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Homer 5th

30 more pitches, left the bases loaded but gave up no runs.

99 pitches through 5, Bats down 4-0. Jay Bruce 0 for 2

They’re pretty active, although it depends what day it is and who’s around.
