Homer Bailey vs CC Sabathia

 

Complete Coverage >

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Homer Bailey
 0-3 8.76 2.11 3 10

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - CC Sabathia 1-0 3.00 1.67 5 5

How sweet it would be to go into the break off a sweep and winning 8 of our past 10. Still, we've got the series win (on the road to a Central rival) in the bag, and this is our steepest hill to climb this weekend by far.  Lets hope Homer can pitch the way he did in the first 5.2 innings of his last start for Louisville.

Also, don't forget about the Futures Game at 12:30 on ESPN2. Chris Valaika will play for the United States, and Juan Francisco (Dominican Republic) for the world.

Adam Dunn is in one of his "locked-in" periods

Of course he will be batting no higher than fifth. But he will lead us to victory!

and

COREY FUCKING PATTERSON IS STARTING OVER JAY BRUCE, FUCKING DUSTY BAKER!!!! This is his well not only is it a travel day but it is the last day before the all-star break through away lineup. I’m surprised he didn’t sit B Phillips play A Phillips at second, and Valentine at first.

Ugggggh.

So we took out Votto (.294/.376/.500 vs. LHP in 117 PAs) and Jay Bruce (.208/.306/.264 vs. LHP in 62 PAs) for Andy Phillips (.067/.067/.133 vs. LHP in 15 PAs this season, .204/.239/.275 vs. LHP in 179 lifetime PAs) and Corey Patterson (.156/.182/.156 vs. LHP in 33 PAs).

Brilliant moves.

Apparently this is a "must-win" game according to Dusty

So of course Patterson is starting. Look, I know he’s trying to load the lineup with righties against CC, but COMMON. This lineup is going to score 3 runs today, one with a Dunn HR with Hairston on base, and the other will be a Dunn solo shot. The bottom 4 in the lineup will go 0-fer-a lot, Reds lose 7-3. Dusty’s the worst.

almost like when Narron pinch-hit Castro for Hamilton

because Castro was batting 1.000 against the pitcher in question.

It turned out to be an ok move because Castro is still batting .500 against him.

May I reiterate:

If the Reds win today, it will be despite Dusty Baker, not because of him. There is no way in hell that Joey Votto should sit today. Period, I’m frankly surprised that Dunn isn’t sitting and Griffey isn’t in there. This over-management by an under-thinker.

Patterson and Phillips…Oh My God, I sure hope Dusty makes a fool out of me today. Maybe he is channeling coach Narron.

i think he puts the name of every position player on a piece of paper

goes to the nearest stair well, throws the paper down the stairs, and he gets his batting order from the first 8 pieces of paper, and figures out how to position them.

Of course

since Dusty has decided Patterson is so much better in CF than Bruce, we’ll be seeing Patterson a lot more. And while he’ll be batting seventh, that’s not much of a victory. He should never be in a major league starting lineup.

Reds going after Sabathia?

From John Perrotto’s Sunday column at Baseball Prospectus:

Reds owner Bob Castellini likes to make a splash, as evidenced by his hiring of Dusty Baker as manager and Walt Jocketty as GM, and some insiders believe Cincinnati will be a dark-horse bidder for Sabathia when he becomes a free agent in November.

After giving up that home run to C.C. on a high fastball on the inner half of the plate, he teased him this time by throwing that high heat, but kept it on the outside corner this time. C.C. promptly grounds into the double play.
