Nothing against Harang, but I wish the Reds would just stop pitching him this season.
Nothing against Hernandez, but I hope the Rockies pitch him every game this series.

Grande also already said that
Phillips is back to the 3 spot where he’s familiar from last year. He hit there in 17 in the 154 games he started. 11%. Cracker jack analysis, Georgie!

Season 1 it was just your run of the mill crime show
albeit a very well done one. Season 2 meandered a little bit. It took the bold step of changing much of the focus and characters.
Seasons 3 and 4 were some of the best television ever.

it's really good
Much of the entertainment value lies in the anachronisms of an incredibly chauvinistic office where the men drink scotch and harass their secretaries all day. But it’s got really good attention to historical detail as the white male masters-of-the-universe characters’ world is gradually overturned by social change.

by Brendanukkah on Aug 22, 2008 11:19 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Let's see
His wife had had a long, difficult birth of their daughter. Saget had been with her for the whole ordeal. It was a beautiful moment. A friend of his stopped by the hospital to see him, and he was there with his brand new daughter. As his friend held her, he turned to Saget and said, “Wow. She’s beautiful, man.” And without missing a beat, Saget said, “I’ll let you finger her for a dollar.”
Seems like a good deal.

Tries, but he just couldn’t check his swing on the first pitch. so he hacked at the second. He took the third, but I don’t think he was ready for the pitch.

he got out of that jam
but he’s still not right. His fastball doesn’t have the life it should and he’s getting behind in the count. They should still probably shut him down.

I dunno
You’re not gonna hurt him by running him out there (within reason), and he’s been getting to 93 or so tonight which is where he normally sits. I think he’s OK physically at this point.

He's not pitching with his normal delivery
which means he’s altering his mechanics, which might mean he’s putting stress on body parts he normally wouldn’t.
I don’t like it.
And, Madville, he can’t throw his great fastball up in the zone. He tried it once in that inning and Holliday took it 10 feet right of a granny. His velocity seems all right, but he’s not locating.

That inning something certainly went arwy MM. But I think his mechanics look pretty good.
Clownboy has been showing him in slo mo and Aaron looks balanced and is driving his pitches ,for the most part down in the zone. The last part of the bases loaded inning he reached back and plain threw the ball past the hitters. I think he is OK. I guess we’ll see how he feels tomorrow and how his next outing turns out.

he's looked better
since loading the bases.
What worries me, for instance, is that you can see him exaggerating his arm angle to keep the ball down in the zone, which indicates he doesn’t trust his 2 seam fastball to dive. If it’s just a psychological tic rather than a physical one I guess you let him pitch through it. I guess.
But the Reds’ training and medical staff have had a terrible season with regards to injuries.
