This all depends on how you look at it: Johnny Cueto has only given up more than 3 earned runs in a game once in his past 7 starts. Really not bad for a guy with a 5.19 ERA. But then again, he hasn't given up fewer than 2 runs in a start since... his first start of the season (April 3). Still, I'm no scout, but I see more stuff coming off Cueto's arm than anybody on the team other than Volquez. And only maybe to that. I still get excited about each of his starts. So let's make this a sharp one, Johnny. Go Reds.

Alright, time to kick ass and take names
A sweep of the Yanks would be just the ticket for a turnaround
Jeff, we hardly knew ye...
According to Fay...
...Patterson still a Red. Andy Phillips DFA’d.
Boo! I knew Andy was on the bubble, but I was hoping he’d get a chance to play again in Yankee Stadium. The fans would have loved to see him.

CoPat hits one out, must of been hard for Dusty not to bat him lead-off.
The lineup per John Fay
Norris Hopper lf
Keppinger ss
Ken Griffey Jr. rf
Brandon Phillips 2b
Edwin Encarnacion 3b
Joey Votto 1b
Jay Bruce rf
Corey Patterson cf
David Ross c
v. LH Andy Pettitte
Adam Dunn is getting a day off. “He looks lost,” Baker said. “He’s behind on fastball’s and ahead on breaking balls.
“It can’t hurt,” Dunn said.
"When I got my award, I just wore my usual stuff," Dunn said.
"Was it for the Reds organization or all of baseball?" Bruce said.
... We have two right fielders today?
And yes, Dunn has looked horribly lost, while Patterson has looked like an MVP.

Derek Jeter and Tiger Woods have the same eyes
according to George Grande and his interview with DJ
www.crosleyfieldterrace.wordpress.com
Grande is in love with a certain kind of black man...
He looks deeply into their eyes and hopes against hope…

News about a popular choice in the bereavement pool...
He called on drug dealers to help her recovery by refusing to supply her with crack cocaine.

Steve Phillips is picking Pettitte today
because the Reds just can’t possibly sweep the Yankees in Yankee Stadium.
Phil Dumatrait
Is on the DL with shoulder trouble. Hasn’t he already had major sholder surgery? Or was it is elbow before?
he can flat out casey blake

and as an added bonus for the fans, he’s purposely making it much slower, so we can admire it even longer.

I can’t get over how every opposing broadcaster in the league goes off on how small GABP is. The Yankees’ guys just flashed the list of pitchers in the NL who have given up the most homeruns. The list: Brett Myers, Brandon Backe, Cueto, Oswalt. So, naturally, it’s because they pitch in tiny ballparks. Why don’t they show us where all those homeruns were given up?
Cueto has given up 11 homeruns at home and 7 on the road. But he’s also started 9 games at home (57 innings) versus 7 on the road (29.2). So what does the tiny home ballpark have to do with any of this?
Not to mention
Batters are hitting .221 against Cueto at GABP versus .331 on the road.
Clearly GABP is a joke of a park.
has Phillips started an at bat
by taking a first pitch ball this season?
Hope Springs Eternal! Go Reds
I love Brandon Phillips
But seriously the guy is not a cleanup hitter.
Lineup construction is one of Dusty’s biggest faults and the most easily correctable.

I'm not all that good at it either

I think the price for Alex Rios would be too great.
What about CoCo Crisp?
Seems we could have him for next to nothing. He’s arguably the best Center fielder in the game.
by Nick Papageorgio on Jun 22, 2008 1:50 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, we went with Rios because he's a little better offensively
but you could go with either one, really. It might be easier to get Crisp right now.

No harm
Looks like 5 years / $64M
considering his defense, he’s probably worth that.
by Nick Papageorgio on Jun 22, 2008 1:58 PM EDT up reply actions
He also has a no trade clause for '09-'10.
That’s why I’m irritated for bringing it up.
Plus, he’s worth the money, but with a contract like that that has just been signed, it’s unlikely that he’s even available.

For the purposes of the article, Dunn's departure is inevitable
Really the biggest problem he has when writing this stuff is space. Lots of fat needs to be trimmed in order to make it fit.

? what did he say

by Nick Papageorgio on Jun 22, 2008 2:13 PM EDT up reply actions
He basically just raised his voice in excitement after he K'd
He gets so excited for the other team and his monotone when the Reds do something good.
www.crosleyfieldterrace.wordpress.com
To be fair, I didn't actually hear him say that today about Bruce
But he has said it on more than one occasion about Reds’ rookies this year, including Volquez (for throwing back to back changeups).
You’re sooooooo smart, Jeff Brantley.
Shoulda bunted
"When I got my award, I just wore my usual stuff," Dunn said.
"Was it for the Reds organization or all of baseball?" Bruce said.
The ending sucked.
But at least Pettitte has thrown 75 pitches?
Can anyone say how the Reds do, run-scoring wise, vs. starters and relievers?

what you dont understand that baseball people do
is that you run with a full count. thats just aggressive baseball, and its the way the game was meant to be played.
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
Cueto was pumped.
And rightly so.
I heart Cueto.

Corey bunting
And if the ump is paying attention, he’ll call Corey out for stepping out of the batter’s box on the bunt.
Corey is usually out once he steps out of the batters box

Sure
but I’m not sure about him in CF. His RZR in LF is below Dunn this year. Surprising to me because of his speed, though he does have 12 more out of zone plays.
I want a hamburger. No, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...
I was actually thinking leave him in LF.
I don’t think he’s a CF either.
I assume Dunn will command too much money, but I think if we could limit him to a 4 year deal, it’d be worth it.
4 yr / $39-$44M…but if some team is gonna give him 6, then say bye.
by Nick Papageorgio on Jun 22, 2008 2:33 PM EDT up reply actions
I think the goal should be trying to find a CF
lest we invite Patterson back for another season. Plus, you can make more defensive impact in CF. And that was part of what Erardi was trying to do. Demonstrate that you can improve the defense to make up for the lost offense.
FWIW, i suggested some other names of lesser known players that might be able to fill CF defensively and manage decent offense (Gregor Blanco and Clete Thomas). Both are young and have good OBP numbers in the minors, but I have no idea if they are available.

Could Slyde or someone give a quick BB Reference tutorial?

base running data is weak on BBRef.
You can see CS here: http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CIN/2008.shtml But I don’t know where pick-off data is and we have no information on base running mistakes on line drives and such.
