Hey Dusty...Are you sure you're OK? You might need an MRI.

This game is so Scottish
Bruce, Ross, McLouth, Dunn (probably). Billy Bray sounds like the name of a Highland hero.
jeez, how do Pirates fans
put up with such an inane manager?
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
How do we put up with Dustyevsky?

who else heard the “FUCK NO!” by that last hitter?

it's the 8th inning
patience.
By the way, anyone else not happy that Dunn’s SEVEN walk off HRs got no play last inning? Seven is more than 5, and in less time, it would be more impressive, no?
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
I hate when I loose what inning it is!
Now I am on double secret probation. I cannot make fun of Dustyevsky
How much was your ticket, Dunn?

First of all Dad
It’s “Marte,” not “Marty.” And secondly, we wouldn’t Marte with you, even if you were the last dad on earth.
So

My point is that somebody will see that and think he has value
I want a hamburger. No, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...
Looking closer
He has a few years running of a sub-4 ERA in a hitter’s park. It’s certainly conceivable that someone will roll the dice on him.
relief pitching is so unpredictable anyway
I don’t doubt that he will be traded for a mediocre prospect if the Reds management ever finally gives up on the season.
I want a hamburger. No, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...
Not true
His ERA at home last year was 4.28.
On the road it was 2.87, but I imagine some of those parks were hitters parks too.
I was saying
that he’s had an overall ERA of under 4 while pitching more than half of the time in a hitter’s park.
Just prove how pointless ERA is in that split
Opposing hitters were hitting .233 at GABP and .234 on the road.
After looking at the splits, I’d say the most telling stat for Weathers is . . . yes, his W-L record. 2-6. I think that sums up David Weathers. For someone who knows how to win, he sure sucks at it.
it's on the same scale as ERA
so, yeah.
I want a hamburger. No, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips...
Well not necessarily.

that was a nice play
it would be super cool to get an outfield that can play defense
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
there was plenty of bad defense in the top of the 11th for my rain party
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
Are refering to Griffey?
Griffey was trying to save the game on a line drive given up by Mr. Batting Practice. Can’t fault him for that.
why is hopper not bunting?
thats seriously the only way he can get on base
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
Or he could walk

seriously though
how many times has Dunn’s spot come up again after being removed in a close game? at least 5.

Sucks we blew through Burton and Coco
After using them last night. Hope we don’t need them tomorrow.
It would be nice if our offense would show up before the 8th
Lot to ask for, I realize.

level of difficulty
its hard to be on the spot when the game is on the line. 2 outs, last inning. CP worked the count and put warning track wood on the ball. he gets a break, tonight, from me.
anyone ever been in that sitch? its not easy, folks.
His head/eye coordination aint that good

Well that sucked.
Have a good evening, RRs. And if you see Corey Patterson walking around Cincinnati tonight… hit-and-runs aren’t illegal if you don’t get caught.

and I’m probably also upset about some other shit and am taking it out on Dudepick. That’s how I roll.

I blame him for the sunburn on my right shoulder
This is why whiteys shouldn’t play during day games.
ooooooooooooooooooh
so THAT’S where he was going with that. Makes perfect sense.
FIRE DUSTY BAKER
Volquez
I missed the early part of the game, as the Reds offense and I were stuck in traffic. How did Volquez look? Anyone else concerned about his incredibly disappearing ability to strike batters out? Does he have Homer Bailey disease all of the sudden?
Dusty
after the game he muttered something about being a spiteful manager. Then he said he was lying about being a spiteful manager, and that in fact, he was lying out of spite.
I can’t really make sense of it.
FIRE DUSTY BAKER
looks like a lively thread
im sorry i missed it. went to see Get Smart at one them new Movie Taverns. its like a bar and grill and theater. one of the coolest things ever. and the movie was good. Steve Carrell is fantastic.
Corey Patterson is not. i hate to blame him for the entire lousy game, but he really is the poster child for underachievement. i think that was the first run that Burton has given up since the Russian Revolution. ironically enough though, the Reds won that one…

Where at?
I loves me some movie taverns. I was first introduced to them in MS back in the mid-90s. There was even one that had a Monday Night Football night. Good times.
sig lines are for suckas
you are in Cincy right?
Im in Columbus, and the Movie Tavern is in Upper Arlington. i was, seriously, drinking a glass of beer at the theater. the selection was poor, but they did have 1.50 drafts of Coors and Budweiser, if you are into the whole slummin’ thing. i may just have to move to UA now.

Yup
We used to have the Cinema Grill in Mt. Lookout, but that closed a while ago. Does anyone know if there are any others?

The Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse is pretty nice
If you find yourself in Northern Virginia. It’s a second run theater, but Mondays feature $1 tickets. Pretty good beer selection as well. And you can smoke in the theater, if that kind of thing is your bag.
Went to the game tonight with my dad
as a belated father’s day gift, and I have to say that as much as I hate David Weathers, I really hate your children way more.
Oh, and George Foster told me he knows someone in the witness protection program…
and I actually found myself defending the Patterson for Dunn substitution to my dad, who hates Dunn…
and I got to hear Doc absolve Weathers postgame and lay the blame on lack of team bunting…
Oh, and I also really hate your children. All of them.
He's doing it. He's eating a tire!
But they're delicious
"As it says over the door to the Famous Writers' School in Connecticut: A Sullen Drunk Packing A Gat Is Not The Best Company For An Artist Finicky About His Style."
How did you defend that substitution?
I get the feeling that Dunn is pretty decent on the basepaths, and the slight gain in speed from going to Patterson isn’t worth the huge hit in offense should his spot in the order come back up.
I thought that it was just possible enough
that Griffey would hit something on which Patterson could score/get to 3rd that Dunn could not. From my vantage point, the Pirates looked to have had a fair shot at Dunn going to 3rd on Griff’s warning track shot. With no one out, a speedy guy on second and the meat of the order coing up, I felt like the Reds were going to win. I bet Dusty did as well.
So while I probably wouldn’t have decided to pull Dunn for Patterson, I thought it was a much more defensible move than the usual Patterson for Dunn substitution. As soon as the inning ended in a tie, however, I knew - just knew - that Patterson was going to come to the plate in a meaningful situation. The great (and sometimes cruel) thing about baseball is that you get found out; baseball is powered by a well-oiled nemesis engine.
About your Kepp comment below, the guy sitting behind me told his son that Kepp (0-3) had a better game than Dunn (1-4, 2B, 1 BB, 2 K) because “at least Keppinger put the ball in play.” The mind reels.

If Dunn were more of a liability on the basepaths
I’d hate it less. Like, say, pinch running for Griffey. That would be a better idea than pinch running for Dunn.
In my opinion, anyway.
Did the directions work okay for ya?
And how did you enjoy the pregame? Inquiring minds want to know.
sig lines are for suckas
yes, thank you very much
Newport was definitely the way to go for easy parking and a nice walk to the park on a gorgeous summer day.
The hofbrauhaus was worth a shot. The food was okay and the beers were enormous, but I couldn’t tell if I wanted them to go for a more cartoonish German atmosphere - complimentary steins, waitstaff in corsets, grousing about mongel races, etc.- or if that would have just made us feel like we were at Epcot. So I don’t know. If it were packed with the right sort of crowd, I could see it being und blascht. The accordian accompanied by drum machine got annoying before we even reached our seats.
He's doing it. He's eating a tire!
Yeah, the music grates
But you’re right, on a weekend, der biergarten fills up quickly and the place rocks through the night. I forgot to mention Southgate House at the other end of that stretch, it’s a cool little music venue for the younger crowd.
Oh and as far as kids go, I’ve said this many times: hate the parents, not the kids. It’s the parent’s responsibility to not raise their kid to be little JohnnyJaney Sonofabitch. My kids are always well behaved when we go out because they know if they act a fool, there are swift and harsh repercussions. :)

It's hard to remember to hate the parents
when it’s the little obnoxious vermin blocking my view of play in the bottom of the tenth inning with a man on second.
All because they want an enormously-posteriored red rodent in baseball uniform to sign their empty UDF cup.

According to the Fay...
Fairchild told Dusty Baker he tossed Encarnacion for throwing his glove, which Baker said EE didn’t do.
FTH? The video was on gameday, and he definitely didn’t throw his glove. What a crappy call.
Keppinger is a fine fill-in, but he was also 0 for 3 after he came in for EdE.
Wow.
That’s terrible. Maybe the league could get involved… Fairchild needs to be held accountable for that. It directly led to a run, in a game where we lost by one. I wouldn’t say that one call cost us the game, but the game was close enough that it had an impact.

It was a horrible call...
but tossing EdE the instant he protested a not-all-that-close incorrect call is indefensible.
I hadn't seen the play last night
and just now watched it. It was a travestshamockery that Edwin was tossed so quickly. And I don’t know how Dusty doesn’t get himself tossed there. His player was just instantly tossed for arguing a play when he was right and all Dusty can manage is a mild conversation? I understand that not every manager is fiery and such, but c’mon, let’s see a little passion in defense of your player. At the very least it’d make me like him better.
And kudos to Edwin on the effort. It’s a shame that such a nice play was for naught.

do you have a link to the video?

Phone's ringing, Dude.
Dustyevsky drops some science about crime and punishment
About Phillips getting picked off at second:
“Yeah, well, that’s why they call it stealing,” Baker said. “That’s going to happen if you’re stealing sometimes. That’s why it’s called ‘stealing’ because you’re going to get caught sometime. I want our guys to be aggressive like that. We thought he balked, but it showed he didn’t balk, it was just a good move on his part.”
Maybe this should actually be referenced under “The Gambler.”
I know trouble when I see it
