Game 120: Reds at Pirates

Redsmouth_tiny by Slyde on in Game Threads Comment 367 comments

Cincinnati Reds at Pittsburgh Pirates, Aug 12, 2008 7:05 PM EDT


Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ Pittsburgh Pirates

Tuesday, Aug 12, 2008, 7:05 PM EDT
PNC Park

Edinson Volquez vs Jeff Karstens

Partly cloudy. Winds blowing out to center field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 75.

 

Complete Coverage >

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Edinson Volquez 13-5 2.93 1.33 141 63

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Jeff Karstens 2-0 0.00 0.80 6 5

Karstens came to Pittsburgh as part of the Xavier Nady deal with the Yankees and has yet to give up a run to the inferior National League.  Volquez came to the Reds in a deal for Josh Hamilton.  Hamilton > Nady, therefore Volquez > Karstens, right?

As a team the Reds are batting .218/.279/.380 in August, but they just traded that do nothing cancer Adam Dunn.  Small ball will rule the day and the Reds will score 10 runs tonight.  Bank it.

DC United was hosting the New England Revolution

in the semifinals of the US Open Cup. It’s the oldest tournament in American soccer, and the winner gets a berth in the regional Champions League. DCU beat New England 3-1 behind a brace from Luciano Emilio. Good to see the Reds won, but I had a great fucking time at the game, and feel like I made the right decision.

You probably did.

The U.S. men’s team lost this morning too. Orozco got a red card in the 3rd minute, so we were playing short the whole game. It felt like watching a Reds game! (Zing!)

Lineup via Fay

Brandon Phillips 2b
Javy Valentin 1b
Edwin Encarnacion 3b
Corey Patterson cf

Edinson Volquez p

Dickerson is one excited dude. “When they first me, I had no thoughts. I was ‘holy cow!’”

So, I guess Dickerson gets first this thread.

Wow.

This could end up being pretty damn unwatchable.

- Dickerson leading off in his ML debut.
- Kepp still at the top of the order.
- BP still cleaning up.
- LLM BATTING 5TH.
- “K”orey in the lineup.
- Maybe we’ll get good Wagon? Maybe not?

I guess playing Hanigan again would have made too much sense.

A serious question for the braintrust

With the money the Reds cleared (in theory) by making the moves they have, what do you guys think happens?

Do you think they make a run at one of the big fish and horribly overpay (CC, Tex), do they overpay for a middle-of-the-road guy (Burrell), or do they sign low-level free agents to plug the holes and hope for the best?

How can such a good looking man be so bad at getting to first base?

They'll probably have to overpay

to get a big name free agent.

If they pay big bucks for Pat Burrell, we’ll only have one question left for Walt Jocketty: whether he prefers Sartre or Camus.

I don't see them going after Burrell

or any other name FA. None of them feel like the kind of guy that makes our leadership drool.

by ken on Aug 12, 2008 6:37 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

am i mistaken

in remembering that a few years ago, Burrell was only interested in going to Boston or NY? maybe he’ll follow the dollar signs this offseason, but the Mets look like a good fit for him. just my opinion.

by Charlie Scrabbles on Aug 12, 2008 6:49 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Haven't heard that before

Though it’s certainly possible he said something like that. The Mets would be a good fit for sure. Over the past year or so he’s really sounded like he wants to stay in Philly, a few grumblings about defensive replacements aside. It could all be fluff to help get the fans and media off his back, but Philly is also one of the few teams that will be able to afford him this winter and have a need for him. Plus he’s played with the core guys for several years and gets along well with everyone. The devil you know ….

Honestly

what they do with the money “saved” by the recent moves will say a lot about whether this is a real rebuilding project or a half-assed one.

This is where Castellini would worry me. I hope Jocketty plans on a real rebuild and that Bob and the ticket office stay out of his way.

and that’s a biiig “IF,” then I think he might be a little out of whack for the market.

But if he let that be known to the club, then there might be a decent reason to trade him. But why after the deadline?

my thoughts exactly

he thinks this rotation with its +5.00 ERA is a backbone of a good team? i guess we can be thankful we pay him to pitch and not manage.

by Charlie Scrabbles on Aug 12, 2008 6:51 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don't think this was intended to make Dunn look bad

Asking for $100 million for player like himself isn’t out of the question for some teams.

But it clearly is for the Reds and given that Jocketty doesn’t do contract negotiations in season AND knew he’d never sign him, the trade makes sense. The timing seems odd, but I think it makes some sense.

by bengalred on Aug 12, 2008 6:50 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

i think its a tad high, but not exorbitent

i mean, he’s all of 28 years old. Carlos Lee is a decent comp and he was 3 years older when he got his big cash deal. 120 is too much, but i wouldnt be surprised if he got 100.

I wasn't speaking to this particular article

but more generally.

Quotes like Arroyo’s will be used to say that Dunn was just another of those money-grubbing modern athletes who don’t know how to play the game with passion, blah, blah, blah

We're getting Owings

So sayeth The Arizona Republic:

DENVER – Right-hander Micah Owings is one of the players to be named later in the deal that brought Adam Dunn to the Diamondbacks on Monday.
It’s unclear if Owings has yet to be placed on waivers. He will have to clear waivers if he is to be traded before the end of the season.
It’s possible that Owings has been placed on waivers already and was claimed by another team, at which point the Diamondbacks would have pulled him back off waivers. That would mean he would not be able to be traded until the conclusion of the regular season.
It’s also unclear is Owings’ physical condition could be a factor in the deal. He is expected to miss his start Wednesday with shoulder stiffness.

I can’t say I’m blown away. We’ve got Ryan Hanigan already (who just came up from AAA) who’s hit just as well or better at about every level, and walks more. I think if Hanigan wins the starting job, and Bako and Valentin hit the road, I’ll take Castillo as a backup, but I’d rather have a pitcher.

As for his ballyhoo’d offensive prowess, he’s really just a free-swinger who sometimes makes contact. App’tly

Hal McCoy also reporting Owings

From a sound source: One of the two yet to be identified players coming to the Reds in the Adam Dunn deal is Arizona pitcher Micah Owings.
The third-round pick of the Diamondbacks in 2008 was 8-8 with a 4.30 ERA in 27 starts last season, his rookie year, but has fallen on rough times this year — 6-9 in 18 starts with a 5.93 ERA.

was the player it was rumored the Yankees were getting for Randy Johnson two years ago. They really wanted him, and offered to throw in a few million extra to make it happen, but Arizona wouldn’t give him up. So they settled for Ross Ohlendorf. Who was recently dealt to the Pirates (along with Karstens and others) for Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte.

I really like Dick

erson.

I’m more a hello man and a welcome man than a good-bye man. And to me Adam Dunn was more a person than a player.

Mr. Pole

is glad he isn’t the only Dick on the team anymore.

Personally

I don’t like more than one Dick in the game.

Check out

the Red Sox-Rangers slugfest. Big Papi hit two three-run homers in the first inning. (I thought Gameday was screwed up at first.) It was 10-0 at the end of the first.

But the Rangers are coming back. It’s 12-10 now. In only the 5th inning.

wrong

he drove them in on a diving catch.

alas no

Despite the offensive fireworks, Hobbs is just 1 for 3 with a walk, one RBI, and one run scored. The Rangers’ only homer was by Kinsler.

It’s now 14-10 in the 6th. Sounds like a football score…

holy crap, they did it. They actually came back and took the lead, after being down 10-0 in the first.

double for Hamilton

And he comes around to score, making it 16-14.

It’s only the 7th inning.

This game is unreal

Sox take the lead again, 19-16. Over 350 pitches thrown so far.

Rangers fall just short

Papelbon gives up a run, but the Sox prevail, 19-17.

And I see Dunn got another walk in Colorado…

Yahoo has him at 98, but I don't think it updates until the end of the inning.

Probably not.

I heard it from Grande, so that was probably wrong.

Totally.

He only had one hit tonight, a bloop double.

In his other four PAs, he had 2 walks and 2 strikeouts. HE COULDN’T EVEN MAKE CONTACT IN ANY OF THOSE FOUR!! WE GOT RIPPED OFF!! NEVERMIND THAT HE WAS ON BASE 3X!! HE DIDN’T HIT A HOME RUN IN HIS FIRST GAME! HE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
