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.

Bray is dealing

What did I miss? :)

Good idea.

PH for a decently hot Mientkiewicz with a guy hitting .176 against lefties.

it's the 8th inning

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?

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.

His ERA at home last year was 4.28.

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.

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…

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.

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.

by Gray on Jul 2, 2008 9:19 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

He's doing it. He's eating a tire!

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.

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.

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.

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.

by Gray on Jul 2, 2008 9:24 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

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.

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.

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.”
