The Old Bailey

The Central Criminal Court in England, commonly known as the Old Bailey, is a court building in central London, one of a number housing the Crown Court.

So I guess the Homer Bailey is where they judge the distance for long balls or something.

DOVER, N.H. – Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama says Al Gore would play a key role in his administration if he wants one, but he won’t say whether he’d ask him to be his running mate.

After listening to Obama address a crowded community center Wednesday, a voter asked him to consider naming Gore as his running mate before the nomination is decided “as a way to take the wind out of Hillary’s sails.”

The voter even proposed a campaign slogan: “Obama and Gore: Experience and Youth. Obama and Gore: Wisdom and Truth.”

i would let Bailey finish the inning. He is going well, it would be character building.

In this case, its the right move

One mistake to the lefty and you ruin this great start. If Bray gets the out here, then Homer ends with a great line and some confidence.

character building was more of joke

i felt like with 2 outs, and a runner on first, give Bailey one more hitter. I am not going to say that I am right because of what Bray did. Bailey may have given up a homerun, I just felt like he could have gotten Fielder out. There are no stats to back that up.

Dusty protecting Bailey when usually that isn’t his style. Literally, can’t fault Dusty for that, but Bray has to pitch better. Poor job by “Bill”.

Seems like par for the course over there, though. I thought it was pretty funny, personally, and I don’t think it’s offensive. It’s obviously a reference to the band and not a racial thing at all. Here’s that rec I owe you.

I'll admit that I was a little uneasy with the name when I first saw it

Obviously I knew what you were getting at and ultimately liked it, but I can see why they flipped out. It doesn’t help that they’re prone to flipping out over the trivialest shit anyway, but whatever. I felt comfortable with my spelling (inserting the extra “b”) because I felt it made it explicitly clear that I was referencing the band. Or the unholy rite.

Now to go check out exactlyl what they had to say about your post. Maybe we can reach a compromise where we all just call him “The Bridge to CC Sabathia” or something.

Not sure why they’d be bitter over hearing about Sabathia – in a fanshot, no less. They got a good deal for him. It’s not like the Phillips deal where he was basically stolen from them. I’m getting the impression they just don’t like other fans.

Sabbathia is warmed up now

Dusty will probably be beaten to death about his “choice” in swaping Bailey for Bray, but it was the right choice. You coddle the young pitcher against the big slugger. Bray is to blame. Pitch like a man.

Really depressing loss if they do lose.

I won't argue with his move to bring in Bray

But he should have brought in Lincoln to face the righty when Bray walked Fielder. I actually agree with Thom here. Not to absolve Bray at all, but I don’t think Dusty’s out of the woods.

Bailey didn't look overly good today

He looked better his last two AAA starts. Fastball was mph higher on average and his curve was nasty.

Lucky for us when he pounds the zone and is crisp, he can pull off a ok start.

But he can pitch better IMO.

He’s been out nearly a month and he hasn’t started running yet.

The explanation?

“I felt another pop (last week),” Freel said. “It was a setback. It swelled up and got sore.”

Another MRI showed a complete tear.

Freel is just starting very light agility drills.He said surgery has not been discussed. He expects to return this season.

“Absolutely,” he said. “If I keep feeling good, I can move pretty quickly.”

i know hariston is a positive on this team

but if this injury keeps the Reds from doing something silly like giving him a muli year multi million dollar deal, it might be for the best. I also feel like it will help the log-jam created by having both Hairston and Kepp around, so it won’t seem like everyday, one out of Bruce, EdE, or Dunn is sitting.

Hairston deal

unfortunately, i think this is the WORST thing that could have happened. now that hairston is on the shelf and looks to be there for a while, he cant play himself back down to earth OR be traded. at the end of the year all Walt and Dusty are going to see is that fat .340 batting average and it wont even matter that he did it in less than 200 ABs. he will probably get a 2 year deal or something like that and be handed a starting spot. i mean, i love what hairston has done this year, he has been phenomenal, but it will not last. every shred of common sense left in this universe will tell us that. and now he wont get the chance to prove it. so Dusty will lobby Walt to “sign him at whatever it costs” a-la his other boy CoPat and we’ll all be stuck watching the real Jerry Hairston Jr fuck up our Christmas next year.

The biggest problem with Jerry Jr. seems to be a penchant for getting hurt.

Even if only hit .285 but had a high OBP and stole some bases he’d be a good addition. Plus he can play a goodly number of positions. I really can’t see that much of a correlation between Cherry and CoPhat. Corey just plain can’t hit LH pitchers and is almost as bad with RHs. I think that Keppinger has ‘come back to earth’ and his play is very acceptable.I like Jerry Jr. for this team next year, along with Kepp, Votto, EdE, BP, Bruce, Dunn,Ross etc. I would be willing to trade Jerry Jr. and Kepp for CC SAbathia!!!!! That F@#ker can F%#kibg hit.

Jerry Hairston is playing so far above his head

that he can’t even recognize the top of his head

I think the jury is still out on Cherry

He was rushed to the big leagues. And then he was playing with a broken rib for a couple of years. In between, he played fairly well.

I do expect him to come back down to earth, but not as far as many fear. I think his career numbers are misleadingly low.

I doubt it

from 2002-2005 (his age 26-29 seasons), batted just .274/.346/.378 (92 OPS+). HIs ribs weren’t broken at that point and he had been in the league for 4 years. The difference between that line and his career numbers, including this season, is 7 hits and 3 walks over 162 games.

His BABIP this year is a silly .394. It’s mainly this high because of his ridiculous 30% line drive rate. I don’t think there is any way he maintains either of those. Once he stops, he’s essentially Ryan Freel, whom the Reds are already paying $4 million next season. I don’t see any reason to try to sign Hairston as well.

thank you slyde

there aren’t too many players who come into “their own” at age 32. It won’t be too long before he loses a few steps and some bat speed.

Good lord.

If we had known we could have had a 92 OPS+ in center to start the season, we would have jumped at the opportunity. Hell, Jr.’s OPS+ is only 95, and I imagine Hairston’s defense in right would be an improvement over him. Bruce’s is at 98. Griffey and Bruce’s season lines so far:

Griffey .235/.348/.400
Bruce .270/.335/.429

And while we’re at it, Patterson’s line is .191/.225/.337.

Do you think that Freel will be a Red in 2008

I kind of doubt it. If the Reds could find a way to move him they should. And I think they will. I’d really rather have Jerry Jr. than either Farney or NoHo. Yep he’s old but I think he’d the perfect bench guy and could give major good defense and acceptable offense if pressed into duty.

I think we'd be wise to hang on to either Farney or Cherry

We don’t need both. But they give us versatility, and a decent bat. They give us outfield depth, which we’re going to need next year (hopefully Griffey and Patterson will be gone. There’s a chance Dunner could be gone too). The problem with both of them is that they get hurt too much. I’d like to keep Cherry over Farney, if only because Freel is making more money, but I don’t really want that to come with a Freel-deal for Hudson.

by Brendanukkah on Jul 14, 2008 2:34 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don't see anyway anybody would take Freel at this point

$4 million for a guy who a guy who has played 123 games the last two seasons? Unless he comes back and plays the last two months of the year and hits well, why would anybody trade for him?

When he comes back and does play

If he plays well and if he stays healthy, i think his ML history would make him appealing to some bigger market teams. But you are most likely correct, unless the Reds want to eat some of his 4M, he’ll remain a Red through his contract. But i’d still rather have Jerry Jr if there is a way to keep him.

And I believe you only want Cherry over Farney because of the Reds history with Farney while Cherry feels fresh – especially since he hasn’t slipped from his high level yet. Personally, I’d rather not pay $4 million for either of them, but given that the Reds will likely pay the money for the services of one of the players – I don’t care which one they choose.

I didn't know until yesterday

that Cabrera is 35.

I'm surprised nobody noticed this yesterday

But we had CC Sabathia vs. DD Bailey in yesterday’s game. Carsten Charles vs. David DeWitt. Though conventional logic says that obviously DD > CC, I’m not convinced.

Homer 0-3 in 4 starts

but he has gone toe-to-toe with:
CC Sabathia
Josh Beckett
Mitchell Boggs
Cole Hamels

not a bad quartet. OK so Boggs is a nobody but the others are pretty freaking good. Just saying

No, he sucks.

By the best metric I know, he is horrible. He doesn’t know how to win!
