Game 45 Thread: Reds at Dodgers

Cincinnati Reds at Los Angeles Dodgers, May 19, 2008 10:10 PM EDT



Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ Los Angeles Dodgers

Monday, May 19, 2008, 10:10 PM EDT
Dodger Stadium

Partly cloudy. Winds blowing out to right field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Near 85.

(Don't worry about the meaning of the pictures.  It's lame.)


W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Bronson Arroyo 2-4 6.08 1.63 43 18



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Brad Penny 5-4 5.09 1.49 28 18


Penny has had his ass handed to him in his last two starts.  He did hold the Reds to just 1 run over 6 innings back on April 21st, but that was a different team, one that wasn't carrying a 6-game winning streak.

Arroyo is coming off of consecutive excellent starts.  It's good that he is starting the series opener so that the LA nightlife hasn't gotten to him yet.

  It'll be interesting to see how the Reds handle this West Coast trip given their past history perpetual suck in the Pacific Time Zone.  They've lost their last 6 at Dodger Stadium, so they are due.  No better time than tonight to win one.

Worse record than the Reds

Although their record last year at this point was worse than it is now.

by Brendanukkah on May 19, 2008 9:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

It's ugly in Yankeeland

Yes, the record was worse last year. But last year, they were scoring tons of runs. They just weren’t winning games. This year, they aren’t getting on base.

It doesn’t help that they have about 7 first basemen, none of whom is any good. If the Reds aren’t going to call up Andy Phillips, maybe they can trade him back to the Yanks.

Reds Scraptastic Lineup

Ryan Freel 3b
Corey Patterson cf
Ken Griffey Jr. rf
Brandon Phillips 2b
Adam Dunn lf
Joey Votto 1b
Jerry Hairston ss
Paul Bako c
Bronson Arroyo p

Afy says that Edwin was given the night off for not running out on the tarmac to his position on the bus. He’s been scuffling in his last 50 at bats so night off seems reasonable.

God forgive me, but I saw this comment about tonight’s lineup and I thought I’d share it:

Good lord is makes me giddy to have these two on the top of the lineup now before I get blasted hear me out. I love Having that much speed at the top of the lineup because it allows Dusty to play small ball.

After another comment by “CSA” expressed amusement at the lineup, “Rob” had this sharp retort:

ok CSA post your lineup each day so we can laugh at that. Lighten up.
Dont you think Dusty Baker might know a thing or two about baseball and how to order the line-up since he played in the big leagues for 19 seasons and has managed for 15 more. And he is around his players day after day so he can tell when they feel good and when they feel worn out.

educate me

I found RR and joined here for one reason: I am looking for someone to explain either the logic of Griffey batting 3rd, or for evidence of Dusty’s man-crush on Griff.

by skaks on May 19, 2008 9:22 PM EDT reply actions  

griffey not batting third

that’s like the center fielder not leading off. You just don’t do that.

What do you mean, "blank slate"?

by boobs on May 19, 2008 9:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

Welcome

I don’t know that the man-crush is specific to Dusty. Narron and Mackanin pretty much deferred to Griffey too. Moving him to right field was a coup, and the Mackanin once removed him for defensive purposes. Once. He’s batted third at his pleasure for his whole career.

So to answer your question, it’s out of deference to his reputation, and not to what would currently benefit the team the most.

by Brendanukkah on May 19, 2008 9:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

thanks, but...

I appreciate the kind and diplomatic reply for the new guy. But I was really hoping for something about Griff having comprimising photos, or a secret clause in his contract that he gets to make out lineup cards.

by skaks on May 19, 2008 9:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

Ok, how 'bout this

If Dusty drops him in the lineup, it won’t be boxes of pennies that Grif fills his locker with.

Isn’t the 3-hole the new 4-hole? I thought the sluggers always hit #4 back in the day.

by rojosoto on May 19, 2008 10:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well

Hank Aaron played the last 2 years of his career with the Brewers.

In 1975 he had 545 PAs:
Batting 3rd: 45
Batting 4th: 375
Batting 5th: 112

in 1976, he had 308 PAs:
Batting 4th: 233
Batting 5th: 58

So Hank batted at the power spots in Milwaukee. His last season in ATL he also got all but 40 of his 240 PAs at clean-up.

Curse and drat, he's outmaneuvered us.

I still maintain that Junior should hit 5th at best right now, probably 6th. And I looooove Junior.

I’ve never sat down and actually played with the BBRef interface yet so I’m not sure what’s available sub and non-sub. It’s not imposing or anything, I really think it’s a subconscious fear that I’ll end up not sleeping for three days and alienating everyone I know. Except you guys of course.
