The Reds have scored 16 runs in 7 games so far on this home stand. That has to change.
Arroyo looked good in his last outing and he has a 3.04 ERA over his last 8 starts. He may only be a 6 inning pitcher at this point (remember, he pulled himself out of his last start after 6 IP), but if those 6 innings can keep the Reds in the game that might be enough.
Outside of Bailey's two starts and Cueto's 8 walk fiasco a week ago, the starting pitching has been good on the homestand. Hopefully Arroyo can keep it going.

I just read the 2003 Frank Darabont script for the Indiana Jones sequel
I haven’t seen the actual one, so I don’t know how it compares, but I liked the script pretty well. There wasn’t any Shia LaBoof character, which was fine. There was a nice moment with a drunk Indy in a museum. Is that in the new movie?

Speaking of bad movies...
I accidentally ended up seeing one of the worst movies ever last night, 88 Minutes.
The reviews are pretty hilarious, though. Like, say:
Given that 88 Minutes actually runs 108 minutes, it’s tempting to make the joke that the movie is 20 minutes too long. In actuality, it’s 108 minutes too long.Or:
If you like your women half-naked, strung upside-down from pulleys, and sliced like deli meat, this is the movie for you. Whether the victims are more tortured than the plot is a serious question.
HALF Naked?
I’m not interested.

I had assented to SaTC
but it was sold out, plus that theatre was packed, so we went to another, where I hadn’t scoped out the options.
Others thought it was the serial killer drama with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro which is apparently coming out in a couple of months…and which must have at least looked like it kind of made sense in the trailer.
This one was totally absurd from the start. As in, Pacino gets a call from someone telling him he has 88 minutes to live…so he doesn’t call anybody useful, and goes about his normal day. WTF?
"For 88 minutes, you KILL yourself for the guy NEXT to you!"
“You will SACRIFICE yourself for that extra inch! The INCHES we NEED are ALL AROUND US! That’s football, guys. That’s life.”

since he didn't die, maybe he took the correct course of action!

Hopper is back...
according to the Fay:
Prior to tonight’s game, the Reds returned from a rehabilitation assignment and reinstated from the 15-day disabled list OF Norris Hopper and optioned to Class AAA Louisville RHP Homer Bailey.And of course, not only does Patterson remains, but he continues to start,
I'm a little late to the party, but...
where’d you get the ‘03 script, Brendan?
I’m a big indy fan, but didn’t see this last one until Father’s Day. I thought it was decent, but was filmed in a way that reminded me of Sin City with the graphic novelly photographic production.
Still a fun movie thoguh. Just no Last Crusade.

Trent gives us this one:
Joey Votto 1b
Jolbert Cabrera ss
Jay Bruce rf
Brandon Phillips 2b
Adam Dunn lf
Edwin Encarnacion 3b
Corey Patterson cf
David Ross c
Bronson Arroyo p
Fay for some reason has Dunn and Phillips switched, but I suspect this one is right, since it involves moving fewer people from Dusty’s default lineup.

Not sure how I feel about Votto leading off, but...
Anyone is better than Patterson.
Did we trade Griffey to Rays for Longoria and Shields yet?
C says
he’s still sick.
He said he has “flu-like symptoms” and has trouble focusing on things far away, and thinks that may be dehydration. Baker said he doesn’t expect Griffey to play today or tomorrow. When asked if he could still pinch hit, Griffey said: “Hopefully not—hopefully we’ll have a enough runs that I don’t have to.”
Oh, and he says Dusty plans to start Hopper tomorrow, presumably batting leadoff:
Hopper helps immediately for the team’s bench and will likely start tomorrow leading off against lefty Eric Stults. “It gives me versatility in the outfield I didn’t have last night," Baker said. "We’ve got a left-hander tomorrow and I don’t think Junior’s going to be available tomorrow either."

patterson started in on a ball that wound up going wayyyyy over his head
he took a terrible route to it, and turned it into a triple

well, at least they didn't steal home on us.
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
For all the baseball guys we have
This team sure doesn’t play the game the right way.

Does Ross get credit for a caught stealing on his D there?
I don’t think so, but I’m not an official scorer
that hopper can flat out hit

No-Hop hits for Patterson, singles.
Go fuck yourself, Corey.

But why?
Did Dusty finally figure out that he doesn’t hit lefties better?
Or that he doesn’t hit, period…

Andy
He didn’t hit lefties well for the Yanks. And he kind of struggled with hitting off the bench…and Torre used him a lot more often than Dusty does.

I refuse to believe that Dusty Baker
would not utilize a player in a way that maximizes his demonstrated strengths!

Funny you should say that
At one point, he was the example in the definition of “AAAA” in Wikipedia’s baseball glossary. It wasn’t meant in a mean way or anything, but irate Yankees fans changed it when they found out.
I think Andy’s problem is that he’s a tweener. If he plays regularly, he can hit well enough. But he’s not good enough on defense to start anywhere but 1B, and his bat is not quite good enough for 1B. That adds up to “utility guy,” but he doesn’t hit well when he doesn’t get regular playing time.

Buehrle no hitter thru 4

Why we suck?

I don't know why
But I know that we really do suck when I’m not upset to see the Majewstic in pitching.

at least Majewski is rocking stirrups
business hours are open!
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
He's actually been pretty decent
Since they called him up.

Loney looks like a Muppet
At least in his Gameday photo.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Loney cannot be gotten out
I’m sponsoring him for inclusion into the Bill Hall All-Stars, along with Jorge Cantu.

When Jay Bruce strikes out
That means it’s time to give up on the game and go give myself one of those Chester A. Arthur mustaches.
Done
I’ll post some pictures of it later.

Holy hell.
That’s the greatest play I’ve seen BP make all year.

Gameday
Said Norris Hopper was out. But now he’s on 2B.

Norris Hopper defies the laws of GameDay!

It's not whether you win or lose
it’s how bad you look getting your butt kicked game after game after game…

As hitting it almost out of the park. Close?

Gold stars
to Norris Hopper, Edwin Encarnacion, Brandon Phillips, and Gary Majewski.
I’d give Patterson the goat horns, but that would be piling on.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Man this team is bad
I don’t understand how this team can’t score more points with guys like Dunn,Bruce and Votto in the lineup backed by decent talent like Phillips and EE(who both are currently underpeforming).
The pitching was already ho hum. Now the offense stinks a good mile. The nightmare that will never end.
