Game 50: Reds at Padres

Cincinnati Reds at San Diego Padres, May 24, 2008 10:05 PM EDT



Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ San Diego Padres

Saturday, May 24, 2008, 10:05 PM EDT
Petco Park

Bronson Arroyo vs Wilfredo Ledezma

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

 

Complete Coverage >



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Bronson Arroyo 2-4 6.02 1.71 46 21



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Wilfredo Ledezma 0-1 3.54 1.54 22 16


Reds hitters on this roadtrip: .204/.272/.293

Only 2 players have an OPS over .700 on this trip, Dunn and Griffey.  Do you think their teammates are trying to get them back for their April struggles?  Whatever it is, the lack of hitting has to stop immediately.  I say they bust one open on ol' Wilfredo.

Arroyo stumbled a bit in his last start, but he hasn't allowed a home run in his last 3 starts.  Progress is his middle name! (bonus points)

Who made this lineup?

Ryan Freel, 3B
Paul Janish, SS
Ken Griffey Jr., RF
Brandon Phillips, 2B
Adam Dunn, LF
Jerry Hairston, CF
Joey Votto, 1B
David Ross, C
Bronson Arroyo, RHP

It has some Dusty fingerprints on it (SS batting 2nd, no back-to-back lefties), but the CF is batting 6th? Is Speier breaking away? This is the first time all season that the CF has batted lower than 2nd.

BTW, what’s up with Edwin? Is he hurt? Did he get suspended too? This is the 3rd time in the last 6 games that he hasn’t started.

Justin Lehr's gone?

From Hal:

Righthanded pitcher Justin Lehr is headed for Korea. The Reds sold his contract Friday to the Doosan Bears of the Korea Professional League.

Lehr, 30, was 4-2 with a 2.41 ERA in eight starts for the Class AAA Louisville Bats, walking only nine in 52 1/3 innings while striking out 34.

"Lehr had a clause in his contract that said if a Korean club approached him, we had to let him go and that’s exactly what happened," said general manager Walt Jocketty. "We had an opportunity to match their offer but it wasn’t something we wanted to do.

"This is happening more and more," Jockety added. "Some players use it as a stepping stone to Japan and it gives them an opportunity to make some money."

This is pretty cool

Earlier this year a landmark study in cognitive dissonance was thrown into question by the Monty Hall problem.

Briefly they offered a monkey a choice between 2 colors of M&Ms, red and blue. The monkey chooses red. Then they offered the monkey a choice between blue, the ‘rejected’ color and a third color, green. The monkey chooses green more often than one would expect. The thinking was that once monkeys (and humans) reject something they convince themselves they wouldn’t have wanted it. This choice rationalization has long been accepted in cognitive psychology.

BUT now an economist says the monkey’s preference can be explained by statistics. It’s basically the Monty Hall problem that had fooled researchers.

I need a subscription to read the article

and I don’t want to subscribe.

Is the issue here that they’re giving the monkey a choice of either blue vs. green or red vs. green, and compiling all the results together? You’d figure the monkey would take 50% of each given the choice (being that it’s a monkey), which would give you 25% Red, 25% Blue and 50% Green if you combine all the trials.

You realize that...

If there were a Dunn Hater around, he would say that the reason Dunn hasn’t been intentionally walked up to this point is that pitchers have not been afraid of him until now.
