Game 87: Reds vs. Nationals
Washington Nationals at Cincinnati Reds, Jul 3, 2008 7:10 PM EDT

The phrase that pays tonight is "better than his record implies." Keep your ears open and be the 9th caller when you hear the announcers say that phrase tonight and you could win $1 million.
Could this be the last time Leatherpants brings a team into Cincinnati?

Apparently all those home runs he's been hitting
have tuckered him out.
Or he’s emotionally broken up about the return of Austin Kearns (just got off the DL to play in this game), and can’t face his old friend.

Also from C, more proof that you can trust Baker to screw things up...
When talking about today’s lineup, Baker said Hairston and Keppinger at the top of the lineup is “ideal.”“With both of them back, we’re going to have to plunk one guy in or whatever we have to do to have the best lineup that day,” Baker said. “It was a lot easier in the American League when you have the DH and can play everybody.”

When did he manage in the American League?
Or was he talking about interleague games? And weren’t Kepp and Cherry injured for at least some of those games?
by Brendanukkah on Jul 3, 2008 6:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, he's talking about interleague
when we had Griffey or, inexplicably, Dunn DHing and both Keppinger and Hairston playing.

Splits for Reds this season, vs. RHP then LHP:
Bako .213/.306/.315; .230/.266/.475, OPS: .621/.741
Bruce .329/.383/.588; .222/.321/.267, OPS: .971/.587
Dunn .240/.389/.592; .185/.385/.333, OPS: .982/.719
EdE: .238/.312/.477; .257/.389/.392, OPS: .788/.781
Griffey .254/.354/.425; .211/.327/.344, OPS: .779/.672
Cherry Hudson Jr. .289/.324/.412; .393/.453/.589, OPS: .736/1.042
Keppinger .266/.307/.352; .407/.492/.574, OPS: .658/1.066
Prandon: .245/.290/.389; .369/.411/.718, OPS: .679/1.129
DLR: .255/.386/.362; .238/.347/.333, OPS: .748/.680
Votto: .286/.337/.481; .275/.368/.473, OPS: .818/.840
First of all, I didn’t realize how ridiculous Cherry and Keppinger’s power numbers have been against lefties, or how much Bruce has sucked against them. And EdE and Votto have had pretty much no split. Interesting.
But if you need to sit somebody, it’s clear that it shouldn’t be Dunn. Unfortunately, I’d rather give Bruce more ABs to see if he improves against lefties, and the guy I’d like to see sitting bitches and moans if it ever happens.
Also, it’s painfully obvious who our one-two should be against lefties, and we all know which guy should never be batting third. You know, the guy who always bats third. The guy who, of those on this list, has the fifth-highest OPS against righties and the ninth-highest OPS against lefties. Yes, Griffey’s OPS against lefties is lower than everyone but Bruce’s. We’d be better off having Bako or Ross in the outfield than him at this point.
Ouch.

Incidentally, I made a couple of comments before adding BP to the list
but he’s got an enormous split, too. This time looks like it could really use different lineups for LHP/RHP. Like, say, vs. lefties:
Keppinger
Hudson
Votto
BP
Dunn
EdE
Griffey/Bruce
Bako
and vs. righties:
Bruce
Dunn
EdE
Votto
Hudson
Griffey
BP
Ross

odd that
Bako and Ross are defying the odds, and yet they usually play against the normal righty-lefty thingy.

by gejoe on Jul 3, 2008 6:12 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I always forget their handedness
but yeah, you’re right. It could just be a sample size issue, since Ross only has ~100 PAs split evenly, while Bako only has 66 PAs vs. LHPs.
