Pittsburgh Pirates @ Cincinnati Reds


Next Game

Pittsburgh Pirates
@ Cincinnati Reds

Tuesday, Jul 1, 2008, 7:10 PM EDT
Great American Ball Park

Zach Duke vs Edinson Volquez

Mostly clear. Winds blowing out to right field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 80.

 

Complete Coverage >

W-LERAWHIPKBB
2008 - Zach Duke 4-5 3.99 1.49 36 27

W-LERAWHIPKBB
2008 - Edinson Volquez 10-3 2.08 1.21 110 48

The lineup

  1. Jerry Hairston Jr. ss
  2. Adam Dunn lf
  3. Ken Griffey Jr. rf
  4. Brandon Phillips 2b
  5. Joey Votto 1b
  6. Edwin Encarnacion 3b
  7. Jay Bruce cf
  8. David Ross c
  9. Edinson Volquez p

The Reds haven't hit Duke well in the past, except for Dunn.  But the offense has been doing much better over the last 3 games (.291/.387/.534).  Hopefully it's a sign of a turnaround for the bats.

Volquez was hit a little hard in his last start against the Blue Jays.  I'm calling it an aberration.  He'll be back on track tonight.  A win tonight will give the Reds just their second 4-game win streak of the season.

Look for big days from Joey Votto (yay!) and Jason Bay (boo!) today.  It is Canada Day, eh!

Yeah well the offense should be doing better, Kepps back, Jerry Jr's back and Copats on the bench

And tonight Dunn is in the 2 hole. Sadly ol’man Grif Jr. is in the 3 hole but other than that, as Megan says – If this is the way that Crolfer wants it..then so be it.

Eh, Griffey hit a homer yesterday

Let’s see if he can keep it up. I’d like to see Keppinger playing, but I’m not sure where he’d play unless you’re sitting one of the outfielders. But he gives us a decent option as a pinch-hitter, which is a nice little luxury to have. I’m really happy with this lineup.

“sought to expand his power, by inciting religious and ethnic hatred in the cause of The Dodger Way; by demonizing and dehumanizing people, especially Bronson Arroyo and Joey Votto ... He unleashed wars in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, creating 2 million refugees and leaving a quarter of a million people dead … he stripped the Reds fandom of its constitutional self-government, and began harassing and oppressing its people.”

wow why isnt keppinger starting

he hitting around 400 against leftys and even though there is alot of man love for edwin here i dont see how you sit keppinger for edwin. even though dusty likes edwin there is no reason for keppinger to be sitting today, while batting over 300

I will just say that EdE's been on fire the past several weeks

So while the season totals give nearly identical OPS (EdE: .248/.338/.462, Kepp: .320/.378/.434), over the past 14 days and eight games for each, the numbers are pretty different: EdE .292/.433/.583 and Kepp .296/.406/.370. Though if you just look at batting average-and I’m fairly certain you do-they look quite similar even over that period.

by Gray on Jul 1, 2008 7:17 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

still i hope this isnt a trend

sitting kepp, even for eddie e because while eddie e does have streaks at time, keppinger is more consistent

Well, we basically have one too many.

C said that Dusty talked to Hairston and Keppinger about this yesterday or today, since there’s just one too many of Hairston/Kepp/Dunn/Bruce/Griffey/EdE. So he’ll be rotating them in as possible.

I’d take EdE over Keppinger, but against a LHP, I’d prefer Keppinger over Griffey, personally. He doesn’t like it when that happens.

How is EV's velocity today?

Is he up at 94-95, or is he 92-93?

that stupid looking ump tossed him before Edwin even got to his feet

They had Doumit caught off of 3rd after he overran the stop sign

Edwin got the throw, and Doumit made a circus dive around him, Edwin dove and tagged him TWICE before Doumit got back to the bag. Edwin jumped up, enraged and horrified at the call, a few seconds later he gets tossed.

He really never does seem to go out and fight for his players. Trust us Dusty, we can spare you a lot more than we can them.

he tagged runner twice on a dive play at 3b.

He barely objected

and his English sucks.

That ump knew he blew it and showed that by throwing him out that quick.

I Dusty loses points for not go Pinella on him

I honestly think

he’s a team leader at this point, statistics aside.
I remember him coming out to talk to Cueto during a tough inning earlier this year…he seems to be the go-between for the Hispanics and non-Hispanics.

I don’t know what I’m talking about, really, but I think I’m on to something.

What on earth could Edwin have said?

The dude speaks little English, I’m not sure how he could have pieces together that many expletives in English in one second, enough to get tossed.

but the runner was “out of the base line”

And just amazing that he tossed EdE so quickly after blowing the call.

It sure is a good thing we don’t have replays…
