Orel Hershiser:

“When I talked to Brian Shouse in Texas, I asked him what his job was. He said to get the guy out. I said well, no. The first job is to keep the ball in the park.”

And that is why Orel is no longer a pitching coach.

by Brendanukkah on May 5, 2008 9:07 PM EDT reply actions  

???

Is Orel implying that you outs are worse than keeping the ball in the ballpark?

Sez here he made an out.

Was it productive?

gameday can only do so much

how does on hit an infield single to the catcher???

When I view the Reds through my glass of whiskey, its not a matter of half-full or half-empty. The important thing is that its half-drank, and Dunn, Dusty and the bunch hurt a little less with every sip I take...

Big run on third, less than 2 outs-

And neither Freel nor Jr can get it in. And thats as good a reason as any as to why we’re in last place.

by Mutaman on May 5, 2008 9:17 PM EDT reply actions  

I think it actually might be bad pitching, combined with bad offense.

This often leads to not scoring as many runs as the other team.

At least it wasn't Grady Little.

It was Jr. & BP

But I agree sorta.

by jch24 on May 5, 2008 9:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

BP wasn't up with less than two outs

But it is also true that Freel didn’t make an out, which is all you can ask for. And then got himself in scoring position.

But whatever.

Bailey pitched tonight

He was the losing pitcher. He’s now 4-3.

He had a really weird balk tonight. The ball slipped out of his hand and dribbled halfway to the plate.

And don’t look now, but Majewski’s ERA has plummeted to 5.40.

And boy they made me nervous. There were way too many Cubs fans but it was nice wishing them luck over the next 100 years of losing.

Dear Cool God

Fire Dick Pole
Hire Mario Soto

Seriously, WTF do we have to fly in Mario Soto to have Cueto pitch halfway decently? Doesn’t say much for Dick Pole.

by bobestes on May 5, 2008 11:49 PM EDT reply actions  

I don't think Pole wants to be the pitching coach in Cincinnati

he filled in as the bullpen coach for a while in 2006 when Hume was the acting pitching coach, but he went back to the Dominican. I think he really likes his baseball academy. Dick Pole does come up short as a pitching coach, but for Cueto I think Soto is probably better because Cueto’s English is limited and he probably has a comfort level with Soto that he does not have with Dick Pole.

If the Reds could get Rijo back in a few years they might have the best pipeline to young Dominican pitching talent in all of baseball.

From JimBo's cold, dead hands

Sounds like Jose is probably contractually affiliated with Jim Bowden and the Natl’s

by bobestes on May 6, 2008 12:01 AM EDT up reply actions  

I know he is

but that can’t keep me from dreaming. Barry Larkin also is, which is surprising because he was such a class act and Bowden is such a smudge on whatever organization employees him.

Pos

JoePos was at the game and has a good blog entry up.

The game was OK. The Cubs kicked the ball around a bit. The Reds started Johnny Cueto, and this kid’s got some electric arm action, no? You know, some people throw hard, and some people look like they’re throwing hard, and a few (Bob Gibson comes to mind first, but other lesser lights like Jose Valverde too) are both — they LOOK like they’re throwing and they really ARE throwing hard. That was Cueto.

We’ve all seen the side-by-side video of Cueto and Gibson, right? The way they both fall off the mound? Anyway it’s jinx-y to even bring it up. JoePos on the Pie theft of 598:

Then all the cheers turned to groans, all the groans turned into cheers, people standing sat, people sitting stood up, the stolen homer is the greatest reversal in sports. And suddenly I’m at this rather blah game in a half-empty stadium, and my mind is 99.44% pure mush … but I had a moment. I never argue with people who say baseball is boring because, well, baseball is boring, But then, suddenly, it isn’t. And that’s why it’s so great.

throwing hard

I’ve noticed that – some people throw hard, and some people look like they’re throwing hard.

Every time I’ve seen Bill Bray pitch, people have been impressed with his heat. He takes his warmup pitches, and people go “Oooooh.” Even when he came in to relieve Homer Bailey, who was actually throwing faster than he was, people seem a lot more impressed with Bray.

I liked Monday's game.

I wasn’t able to join ya’ll in the thread and I still haven’t read through it but I wanted to say that other than Griffey looking overmatched, I think at times the Reds looked like an actual MLB team! (Let’s ignore the fact that they didn’t score any unearned runs.)

Weathers looked both impressive and he also looked liked David Weathers. I think he gave up a two-out double and then went 3-1 to ? before getting his second strikeout to end the inning.

And Cordero didn’t have his best stuff and he knew it and the Cubs knew it but he still got the save in a game that the Reds really needed. Bad.

Good times.

Go Reds.
