Maybe not about Fogg specifically, but just grooving a pitch. I think it was right before Harang came in. And he was incredibly impressive, but you just know that’s gonna come back to fuck us. If we were in the middle of the race and every game counts, then fine, balls out try to win this game. But we aren’t. The west coast trip has been bad, and who cares if we blow another game.

someone with some web moxy and a few spare dollars and free time should make a website that simply chronicles Dusty Bakers managing mistakes.

ouch

god the pitching staff is going to be fucked up for a while, even with the off day tomorow. Harang can’t pitch on Wednesday. I would also like to see Volquez pushed back a day. Perhaps Fogghorn could get a start, maybe demote Belisle and callup Ramirez (tuesday’s starter for Louisville) tuesday to give the Reds a fresh long reliever, and if he isn’t used Tuesday start him on Wednesday, and if he is used Tuesday call up Tom Shearn, and to make room for Shearn demote Ramirez and place Gonzo on the 60 day DL (it won’t effect when he cna return because it will be retroactive to March). Keep Cueto on schedule for Tuesday and Arroyo on schedule for Friday, and start Fogg on Thursday.

doesn’t a game reach a point when the manager should just say I’m not going to run out a starting pitcher and fuck up my rotation for the rest of the week, I am going to live and die with Fogg or a position player. Even if the Reds one the bullpen will be feeling this game for a while.

Cueto on Tuesday and then Fogg on Wednesday and then as long as there’s not another 15+ inning marathon, the team is sorta back on track?

and should send Belisle down. Ramon Ramirez is scheduled to start tuesday, he could give the Reds some length in the bullpen.

He is almost as bad as Bob Boone when it comes to over thinking the simple game of baseball and I’m getting sick of his makeshift line ups.
