Game 107: Reds at Astros

Cincinnati Reds at Houston Astros, Jul 28, 2008 8:05 PM EDT



Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ Houston Astros

Monday, Jul 28, 2008, 8:05 PM EDT
Minute Maid Park

Johnny Cueto vs Roy Oswalt

Partly cloudy. Winds blowing out to right field at 5-15 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 85.

 

Complete Coverage >



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Johnny Cueto 7-9 4.90 1.36 113 46



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Roy Oswalt
7-8 4.56 1.38 94 28


Oswalt is having a down year, but he has a 3.04 ERA in his last 8 starts.  Then again, tonight will be his first start in 2.5 weeks as he has been on the DL with a strained left hip.  As everyone surely knows, or will be told a hundred times tonight, Oswalt has owned the Reds in his career, going 19-1 with a 2.46 ERA in 24 appearances against them.  He's won 4 in a row against the Reds at this point, but he has not faced them since May of 2007. 

It's interesting to me that he is facing Cueto tonight as Cueto reminds me a lot of Oswalt.  I'm no scout, so this may be way off, but I feel like the zip on Cueto's pitches look a lot like Oswalt.  Plus, both pitchers are similar in stature, which makes the zip on their fastball that much more noticeable.  It'd be nice if Cueto can turn the tables on Oswalt and drop a dominating performance on the Astros tonight.

Enjoy the game tonight while you indulge in the tasty deliciousness of Red Gold Premium Quality Ketchup, the official ketchup of your Cincinnati Reds!

i remember reading somewhere that the Reds' 6-9 hitters

lead the league in home runs from those spots. this could have been a dream or maybe im just making it up, but is that not just the most obvious thing you have heard today?

Brantley did his same ol' bullshit routine

If the Reds REALLY go in the toilet

Any chance we shake up the coaching staff? Dumping Dusty would be asking too much (but I wouldn’t complain), but perhaps Pole? Right now this staff couldn’t look much worse.

Jacoby doesn’t really impressive me, either.

i cant see Jacoby staying into next year

its just embarrassing how much i miss Chris Chambliss. i think Pole stays though. i think he is one of Dusty’s boys.

Bailey needs to work on offspeed, Cueto on location

I say help your fellow teammate would do. Though to Bailey’s credit, if he was still able to throw that 11-5 curveball, he would be better than Cueto right now. Sucks he can no longer use it.

The Big Four haven't lived up to their billing yet

Mostly struggling. But I have faith they will improve. Who remembers when the Braves had Smoltz,Glavine,Gant,Justice and they blew for a couple of years. Then bam, in 1991 it all came together. I feel a similiar result will happen to the Reds.

by Johnnypronto on Jul 28, 2008 8:54 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

A more likely scenario....

Volquez for Hamilton does turn out to suck for the Reds, Homer never gets it and Baker ruins Cueto by letting him throw 90 more innings that he threw last year.

Only because that’s the way it works for the Reds.

Cueto isn't much better than Bailey now

He gets nod for offspeed stuff, but if the Reds play decent defense and Homer locates well, he will succeed better in that start than Cueto.

They both have work to do

Bad location

He keeps leaving the ball up and it gets slammed. He has got to fix that problem over the winter much like Bailey needs to polish his change/slider over the winter.

Maybe the Reds should try a different pitching coach if they don’t like Pole for that job.

We're not going to get a pinch hitter for Bako, are we?

He does have a hit tonight, after all.

Looks like Votto and Bruce are stuggling a bit...

Nice of Dusty to Bat Jay first. With the way Kepp is hitting, and Mr. Slow Bat in the 3 hole…WE don’t get no love til #4 and #5 and SOMETIMES EdE shows up. But his inconsistency is killing me as is tendency to commit errors.

When my bowling team has a few brews and some Jack and Cokes we do better – we win all 4. The Reds need to at least give this strategy a try – it is about as good as any right now.
God I hope Jocko doesn’t trade Dunn to the Yankees tomorrow,

Here’s shot of last year’s Bowling Team’s Xmas tree…

Ok, in no particular order

La Chouffe
Kronenbourg 1664
Pilsner Urquell
Guiness
Boddingtons
Mickey’s Malt liquor

each for different reasons in different circumstances, but sometimes I like an ‘ol watery Miller Lt. I love my great wines and my shitty beer, and my good bourbon.

Look that picture was 'last year's'

We be drinking the good stuff this year:

Bud Ice
Stroh’s
Jack and Maker’s Mark – with a single cube mmmmmm, good
I have personal stash of Little Kings, Micky’s Big Mouth and Billy Beer
our favorite for the 2008 is Guinness – cause we can get it cheap at my oldest daughter’s bar.

O'Bryon's Irish Pub

I’ve included a photo of some of the gang, including my daughter (co-manager,but you’ll have to guess which one is her) and also one of the girls is a Red’s Cheerleader. My son’s fiance works there but is not in the picture or is my youngest daughter who works there in the summer/ when she’s home from college. Like now.

Located in the heart of downtown O'Bryonville - Madison Road, Cinti.

Sorry not the best picture of the help…but apparently it was taken after a long St. Pat’s day hence the green shirts. nice place, clean, neighborhoody, plenty of HD TVs to catch a game.

Just ask for Emily...I'll have to find out what nights she's working

Her sister Molly (daughter #3)is working tonight, and so is my soon to be daughter-in-law Erika.
None of these ladies will have a clue as to who Madville is or RR…so I’ll do my best to clue them in. If you go and I’m unable to meet up with you,,,be nice and not too nerdy…because I think I’ve got them fooled….
