W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Aaron Harang 3-10 4.33 1.34 91 23



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Roy Halladay 8-6 2.90 1.04 93 15


Wow, what a good pitching matchup.  I know Harang hasn't been his top-notch self lately, but it seems to me that he has a knack for stepping up in games like this.  Unfortunately, the already struggling offense is going to have an even tougher go of it.

Since June 10th, the offense has scored 33 runs in 13 games (2.54 R/G).  Their batting line is a pathetic .202/.272/.318.  I keep thinking that things have to turn around for them.  There is some serious talent in those bats, but it isn't going anywhere.  They are currently on pace to score 690 runs for the season, which would be the lowest total since 1997 and would also be only the 3rd time since the strike that they've scored less than 700 runs in a season.  I didn't expect this offense to be great, but I sure didn't think it would be this bad.

So, uh, go Reds!

Griffey in the one spot i would like to see him in less than 3rd! Javy actually playing an entire game at 3rd! The chance to see CoPat, LLM, and DRoss all go down in one inning!

Also, no EdE again? Corey? Junior not hitting 3rd? What’s going on here?

Fay thought Hairston might be activated, but he wasn’t.

I think the Reds are crazy, not calling up an infielder. Kepp’s not 100%, Hairston won’t be, either. Isn’t there anyone on the farm who could help?

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here

But if they would have cut Patterson or LLM instead of Andy Phillips, this wouldn’t be a problem.

by BK on Jun 25, 2008 5:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well...

...if Jr. is not healthy enough to play RF, I can see why they wanted another OFer (Patterson).

The Reds have lost a bunch of really versatile players who could play IF as well as OF, including the tough SS and CF positions. It’s kind of hard to fill the gap in the face of cold, hard roster math.

But I’m not sure rushing those players back to play half-injured is a great idea, either.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

by BubbaFan on Jun 25, 2008 5:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

but even if Griff cant play RF

we have Hopper too. 4 outfielders, 2 of which (Bruce and Hopper) can play CF should be plenty. Patterson doesnt belong.

Stephen A. Douglas was a great debater, but Abraham Lincoln was the Great Emancipator.

by Charlie Scrabbles on Jun 25, 2008 5:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

And also, if you want to have 5 outfielders on your team

to protect against a Griffey injury, then that’s fine, just don’t have 3 catchers. Roster math or not, they looked at the wrong equations there.

by BK on Jun 25, 2008 5:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, three catchers is kinda nuts

Though given how the market for catchers is these days, I guess I can understand why they’re reluctant to let LLM go. The Yankees are carrying Chad Moeller as a third catcher, fer crissakes.

MLB should consider increasing the roster size. With all the specialist pitchers these days, 25 players may not be enough.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

by BubbaFan on Jun 25, 2008 5:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

i think 25 players is plenty

as long the people picking them dont pick bad ones. but to Walt’s credit, we have 4 super utility guys who have been injured for extended periods of time. you kind of count on those guys for alot. but still, 3 catchers + 1 Corey Patterson = bad roster management.

I don't think Hopper is 100%, either

This is what’s so crazy. They rush their players back, then have a roster crunch because they have to worry about backups in case they aren’t ready to go.

Reading ESPN

http://insider.espn.go.com/fantasy/baseball/flb/story?page=minors080625

Its an insider article, however, there is an interesting piece in there about Taylor Teagarden. If Arroyo could get thing straightened out I would like to see Walt put something together to get Teagarden. I dont know if Arroyo for him straight up would work but I think that would be a good framework for the deal. It looks like Teagarden would be a perfect piece for our lineup. A high on base guy with power and he a good catcher to boot.

If he is a high on base guy

he will get run out of town for not being aggressive at the plate.

Andy Phillips doesn't clear waivers

The Mets claimed him.

Former Reds general manager Wayne Krivsky, who was responsible for bringing Phillips to Cincinnati, recently joined the Mets as a special assistant to general manager Omar Minaya.

Not really that much of a loss

The Mets are the home team (along with the Yankees). Every game is televised here, so I’ll see a lot more of him than I would if he remained a Red.

He may get more of a shot with the Mets than he would with the Reds, too.
