Game 106: Reds vs Rockies

Great American Ball Park

Ubaldo Jimenez vs Josh Fogg

 

Complete Coverage >

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Ubaldo Jimenez 6-9 3.98 1.45 102 65

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Josh Fogg 2-2 7.09 1.50 25 14

This is Fogg's first start since Joey Votto executed Canadian style vigilante justice on him last week.  Rumor has it that Fogg will be wearing one of those Phantom of the Opera type masks to keep from frightening the children ("Don't look at me.  I'm hideous!").

Jimenez apparently throws the ball 100 MPH, which is about 2 Josh Fogg fastballs combined, am I right?  It only takes a couple of days of bad hitting and pitching to make me lose interest in a team that is 10.5 games out of it so they better take me to bed today or lose me forever.  See, the Reds aren't the only ones that can make 80s references.

three worst hitters (arguably) are 1-3

I see no way in which this could work out badly!

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

Could be bleak - but

Maybe Corey is dues – DLOA (Dusty’s law of averages)
Keppinger could break out today – DLOA
Kriffey hasn’t been terrible of late.
At least Andy Phillips isn’t starting and David Lee is back in there.

Griffey is hitting .324/.425/.677 over his last 14 games

I know you said “arguably,” but I don’t know that we’re even to that point yet.

dammit

ive been away from baseball this weekend so i didnt see what happened in the first two games. i think i’d like to keep it that way. but to welcome me back with the likes of Corey “even my mother makes fun of me” Patterson is crossing the line. somebody needs to kidnap Jocko and force him to DFA him. i cant even get angry about it anymore.

He already got some in yesterday
"We went fishing against [De La Rosa]," said Baker. "We went fishing but we weren’t catching anything. He was throwing a lot of bait at us."

Baker’s quote about Bruce is better:

"He’s chasing that rabbit instead of stalking it," said Baker. "You never catch a rabbit by chasing it. You have to stalk it."

From the link below.

You can catch rabbits by chasing them

You have to guess whether the rabbit is going to zig left or right, and if you guess right, the rabbit runs into your hands. If you guess wrong, it gets away. But hey, you’d be batting .500. ;-)

Apparently Griffey mouthed an F-bomb toward Brantley

after the home run. One person also called in and said he made a throat slash motion toward the booth as well.

This was after Brantley said the fans “weren’t booing enough” after the second ball dropped in front of him during the game.

Corey's holding on too tight.

He’s thinking about his wife and kid up there. He nearly orphaned him (despite the fact that his mother’s still alive) and he’s never even met him! He’s lost the edge.

by Charlie Scrabbles on Jul 27, 2008 1:38 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He was only up in the bigs because of injuries to everybody else

But you’re right, it was inexcusable to bat him second. That batting by position bullshit is maybe the most maddening thing about Dusty.

by Brendanukkah on Jul 27, 2008 1:40 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

At least Janish

has a SS’s range. Unlike Keppinger or Hairston.

And he can hit lefties, unlike Andy Phillips.

by Charlie Scrabbles on Jul 27, 2008 1:43 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Batting order

It’s actually the least of Dusty’s sins, IMO. They say it really doesn’t make much difference. And players say they just like consistency, so if he wants to bat the CFer and SS first every day, I don’t mind too much.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

by BubbaFan on Jul 27, 2008 1:47 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I can't help thinking

that it doesn’t particularly boost the team’s confidence to see the first two outs of the game made so quickly, every time.

But the lineup construction is a bigger problem than the batting order, of course.

I'm not having even a mediocre year.

by Gray on Jul 27, 2008 1:48 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

There is that

And maybe Patterson would actually hit better if he hit 8th. There’s a lot of pressure on the leadoff hitter.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

by BubbaFan on Jul 27, 2008 1:52 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

it bothers me

because even if the difference isnt huge, its still a difference. and its the most visible (and easy) part of Dusty’s job. batting bad hitters ahead of good hitters shows such a lack of basic knowledge and common sense its easy to rail Dusty for it.

please dont shit on my dreams. i dont want shit on my dreams.

by Charlie Scrabbles on Jul 27, 2008 1:50 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

What about those...

...sabermetrical lineups that have the pitcher batting 8th? If every little bit helps, then why not get annoyed at managers who bat the pitcher last?

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

by BubbaFan on Jul 27, 2008 1:54 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

old-school managers

pitchers have been batting last forever and nearly every manager does it. thats just part of the game that will not change unless there is a huge league-wide philosophical change. but batting your best hitters at the top of the lineup is not a radical idea.

This is just pitiful.

Now they’re going to be shut out by the freaking Rockies?

I was going to post something moderately witty

about the soul-numbing inconsistency of this team, but I discovered that they have even sucked that away from me.

Congrats Reds.

wow you said it

if there was any deliberation in the front office, that has been silenced with authority and alacrity. so who’s on the block? does Dunn get dealt? Arroyo? i hope neither, but Weathers and Affeldt should be on the ways. and those new John Morrell commercials with the Australian dude. cripes, i prefer Chris Welsh.

please dont shit on my dreams. i dont want shit on my dreams.

Keppinger needs an MRI

and Patterson needs a trip to Louisville. And neither of them should be in the top half of the batting order.

We can bring Dickerson up in Patterson’s place.

Hairston needs to get back soon. And can we talk about moving BP to short? That yawning hole in our defense certainly isn’t helping.

Of course we need to sign Dunn, and do something with Fogg, Weathers, and Affeldt.

But could we just start with getting rid of Patterson?

send Patterson to Louisville?

how about sending Patterson to Timbuktu. or Abu-Dabi. or Walla Walla. or some other far-away-sounding place.

today’s line: 0-4 with a K, GIDP, and an E.

Damnit - Fell asleep on the sofa - missed the 2nd half o the game thread

What a team.
The fire sale begins – Tomorrow me thinks.
The same brain trust that brought us Dusty ergo CoPat will now go about the business of keeping Jr. (he’s ‘earned it’) and selling off Adam Dunn.
After Bronson’s impassioned plea to keep the team together (echoing Merker) he will be gone faster than you can say “Together Again”.
Don’t worry Jerry Jr. and Bako will get nice 3 year contracts….

Why do I even care…because I really enjoy going to the park, watcing Voltron shut ‘em down. BP (who should be SS) make great plays and especially Adam Dunn hitting one way the hell out of the place.

See what happens.

Slept through the last half of the game

Boy FIRE SALE is correct
The same brain trust that brought us Dusty – ergo CoPat
Will now give Jr. another year (he’s earned it)
While trading Adam Dunn for 16 maple bats and another broken pitcher
Bronson who made such a plea to keep the team together will be gone faster than you can say ‘Together Again’
But Don;t Worry!
Cherry, Bako and LLM will get 2/3 year contracts for their scrappiness
And BP will remain at 2b

Jeez – do I sound jaded – nah this Cincinnati

I missed the entire game

But I see the lineup and . . . Fogg . . . yeah, I see Dusty threw in the towel again.

Glad I didn't waste my time.

Saw Fogg pitching with the Rox on the verge of a sweep and that shit-ass lineup and said, “Nope, going to the record shop.”

Phone's ringing, Dude.

Yep!

Johnny Cash at San Quentin—2CD/1 DVD set
Brian Wilson – Smile
Genesis – Duke, Genesis, and We Can’t Dance
all used…trying to put all the Genesis remasters together. Need to find Abacab now.

I need to make a trip to Cincy and pop into Shake It sometime. Not much in Indy I haven’t worn out.

Phone's ringing, Dude.
