Greg Maddux vs Bronson Arroyo

Partly cloudy. Winds blowing from left to right field at 5-15 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 75.

 

Complete Coverage >

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Greg Maddux 3-8 4.21 1.27 63 25

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Bronson Arroyo 8-7 5.71 1.59 97 42

We have an afternoon delight today.  It's a bummer because I have a meeting from noon until 3pm.  It's going to be hard for me to pay attention to the meeting while reading the game thread.

Could this be the last time Maddux pitches in Cincinnati?  Could this be the last time Arroyo pitches for Cincinnati?

I'm intersted to see if Dusty goes with  a getaway day lineup even though the Reds are off tomorrow and home for the remainder of the week.

Valentin is hitting

.346 with 4 HRs (all in 2004 and 2005) in 26 lifetime ABs vs. Maddux. I’m going to assume he’ll be starting today.

I'm not having even a mediocre year.

My money's on Patterson starting

Because Dusty was going to start him against Peavy yesterday, but that “wouldn’t have been fair”.

Votto batting eighth

right where he belongs.

What did he do to piss Dusty off?

He did push Josh Fogg's start back two days

He’s starting Sunday and not Friday, via the Fay.

is it a morale victory that he is in the lineup?

when not a pinch hitter?

June 29. He was playing first. We played the Indians and Hopper batted eighth and Ross ninth.

that lineup sucked

What do you mean, "blank slate"?

by boobs on Jul 23, 2008 11:39 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yes.

Though he was 1 for 4 with a walk, and Ross was 2 for 4. We won, 9-5. Okay, so that was mainly due to Dunn’s 3 run HR and EdE’s 2 run HR, but still.

Dustyevsky would say

That the more days he puts out a getaway lineup, the closer he is to putting out a truly kickass lineup.

Bruce was on first

Keppinger hit a double on a full count (hit and run was on), and Jay Hova scored from first, sliding into home while the outfielder was still picking up the ball. The kid’s got flair.

It bugged me

Because Welsh (I think) kept saying that with a full count, Bruce would definitely be running. But there was only one out. He didn’t necessarily have to be running.

by Brendanukkah on Jul 23, 2008 11:43 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

only someone

who doesn’t know how to play the game the right way™ would say that.

by Gray on Jul 23, 2008 11:45 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Weren't they saying

that Dusty should have sent Bruce because the Pads catcher got hit in the throwing arm with a foul ball, and was weakened? I can’t remember if it was George or Welsh, probably both though.

That's right

The trainer came out and everything. I was surprised Bruce didn’t run earlier in the count.

by ken on Jul 23, 2008 11:50 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

it was welsh

and, yes, he insisted that Bruce should take off for second regardless because the catcher had an bruise on his arm. It was a little bizarre. I could just see Bruce taking off, getting thrown out and Chris and George being perplexed that a major league catcher could still throw with an ouchie on his arm.

But, thankfully, that flat out didn’t happen.

I'm not gonna be here for the game

but I just saw that the last time Valentin started at catcher, Hopper was playing CF! Whatever happened to NoHo? Did he join the witness protection program or something?

...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield

so they faked an injury

Hopper was playing RF, actually.

Hairston started in center and Jr. was the DH.

Hopper went 0 for 5.
