Game 103: Reds vs. Padres

San Diego Padres at Cincinnati Reds, Jul 23, 2008 12:35 PM EDT



Next Game

San Diego Padres
@ Cincinnati Reds

Wednesday, Jul 23, 2008, 12:35 PM EDT
Great American Ball Park

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.

My money's on Patterson starting

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

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.

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.

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 up reply actions   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.

Hopper was playing RF, actually.

Hopper went 0 for 5.

Oh, you're right.

He was talking about the last time Valentin started and batted seventh.

Of course, on April 16, Patterson played CF and hit leadoff. Surprisingly enough, he went 0 for 4.

As for Hopper, he had season-ending surgery on his elbow, Cy.

I was just confused about the posts a bit up

and yeah, I didn’t know the surgery was season-ending. I figured he was just hiding in Sarasota or something.

Even still, I’m hoping for a blowout for numerous reasons, one of them being: Coffey comes in to pitch while Valetnin is still catching, and we get to party like its 2006!

See y’all later. Go Reds.

In theory the young guys develop and all bump up a spot and you spend less to find a #5 than what you would be paying Arroyo, using that money elsewhere.

Off Topic

But MLBTradeRumors.com has a link to an article from Oakland that says the Reds are interested in Huston Street.

I’m sure Oakland would want Thompson or Bailey for him. Surely this was just Walt checking in, but not being too interested.

by adding another closer type, we could move cordero down to setup and get rid of some of the trash currently in our pen, like todd coffey

so you want to add another 5 mil

to the ‘pens payroll? i mean, i would love to have such a dominant ‘pen, but this team has more pressing needs. like an outfielder who can get on base. and a catcher. and a manager who doesnt spend the game counting the nickels Hank Aaron gave him as change from the ferry ride.

Reds interested in Street?

From Susan SLusser in the San Francisco Chronicle:

Near-daily Huston Street trade rumor: The Reds apparently have some interest in the A’s closer, according to sources, and the Mets also might make a run at trying to get him. ... Working in a non-save situation after the A’s scored five runs in the last two innings, Street pitched a 1-2-3 ninth. He has had a rough month, but Street said that his arm feels great and his stuff and his velocity are the same as usual.

We Are ... Marshall!
