Game 121: Reds at Pirates

Cincinnati Reds at Pittsburgh Pirates, Aug 13, 2008 7:05 PM EDT



Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ Pittsburgh Pirates

Wednesday, Aug 13, 2008, 7:05 PM EDT
PNC Park

Josh Fogg vs Paul Maholm

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

 

Complete Coverage >



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Josh Fogg 2-4 7.98 1.67 35 21



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Paul Maholm 7-7 3.76 1.25 108 41


Maholm has given up 2 or fewer runs in 4 of his 5 starts against the Reds, although he's never gotten a win against them. Josh Fogg has given up 18 runs in 3 starts against the Pirates. None of those "stats" mean anything, but it doesn't look like a good matchup for Cincinnati in any way.

Josh Fogg against the Pirates

So where exactly does this rate on the Vengeance Scale?

No, you don't.

You aren’t thinking like Dusty.

Andy Phillips and Corey Patterson both hit better than Chris Dickerson and Adam Rosales in Louisville.

If you’ve given up on the season, then sure, let the kids play. See what you got. (I would call up Janish, too.)

But if you haven’t given up…you play the guys with who have hit better, not who might one day hit better.

by chesirecat on Aug 13, 2008 7:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

In all seriousness

I have no doubt that Dusty’s reasoning behind tonight’s lineup is that he wants “to ease the young guys” into the majors, “make sure guys have established roles,” etc etc. To that end. we’ll see pretty strict knifey-spoony splits. Against a tough-ish lefty like Maholm, okay, fine, whatever.

I will say that if Jocketty is calling the shots on starters, I’d like to see him also force Dusty to give dudes like Dickerson, Hanigan and Rosales as many ABs as possible vs. both LHP and RHP. Baker’s devotion to Patterson, as we know, is beyond human reasoning, but guys like Cabrera, A Phillips and Valentin shouldn’t be taking many at bats away from the younger guys.

In conclusion, why am I thinking about this?

And they add 3 to every TB count because it's triple-A?

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.

He’s in the minors, we’re trying to encourage him. Every base he touches counts. Good job, Drew! Good job! No more tears today.

agreed

when reading about that ad campaign (amidst the horrible story about the beheading) I did stop to think that no one working on that as campaign could ever have actually traveled via Greyhound.

My one trip on Greyhound

involved me trying to tactfully figure out whether my seatmate was a man or a woman for the entire 16 hour trip. ended up being a push

Why isn’t Cherry playing more than the rare PH. He’s our best hitter, so if he’s injured, put him on the damn DL

Kepp and Phillips are what they are, but it seems that Jay Hova is first pitch hacking a lot. Hope I’m wrong.

How often they swing at the first pitch

Jolbert – 42%
Bruce – 41%
BP – 41%
Votto – 38%
Patterson – 37%
AndyFan – 37%
Bako – 36%
LLM – 28%
EdE – 27%
Cherry – 24%
Kepp – 18%

League average is 28%

Dunn was at 26% and Griffey at 22%. EdE, Cherry, and Kepp are about to get their asses traded.

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.

by Slyde on Aug 13, 2008 10:02 PM EDT up reply actions  

The problem with the Reds is that even after dumping Griffey and Dunn

The offense is all about Home Runs.

And if you think about it ever since that new bitch mascot Rosie Red has come on the scene everything has gone downhill for the Reds.

No wonder Dusty is shell shocked – This has got to be the only team with 3 mascots and no genuine Home Run Hitter.

You can tell your uncle stuff that you could not tell your dad. That is kind of the role of an uncle. I feel very much like a father sometimes but sometimes I feel like a teammate.

yeah, thats a big problem

the reds are hitting too many home runs.
