Johnny Cueto vs Ubaldo Jimenez

Partly cloudy. Winds blowing in from left field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 85.

 

Complete Coverage >

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Johnny Cueto 8-12 4.74 1.37 142 55

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Ubaldo Jimenez 9-11 3.99 1.48 129 78

It's a matchup of young, hard-throwing Dominican phenoms today.  Cueto has been pitching very well of late, but the Reds only have one win in his last 5 starts.  He still needs two wins to get to my artificial goal of double-digit wins.

Jimenez is a couple of years older than Cueto and a much wilder, but his ERA is better because he's only allowed 9 HR compared to Cueto's 26.  He threw 6 shutout innings against the Reds last month in a game in a game where he only allowed 5 hits (2 by Dunn, 1 by Griffey, Votto, and Bruce).  Hopefully the offense can continue to be the juggernaut they've been so far in Colorado.

People Don't Kill People. Burning Couches Kill People.

I don't know if anyone caught this last night

but Brantley tried to make a case about how the “Post Dunn and Griffey Era” has made the Reds a better team.

I recall him saying something about how the Reds can score in every other inning now with the young players and “not have just one big inning of getting 4 or 5 runs.”

Not only did his statement not make any sense but the Reds scored 6 runs last night and lost the game still! Must be the ghost of Adam Dunn’s bad influence then.

I heard that

And chuckled at the idiocy. I also heard him state at some point recently that this team was “a couple of guys away” from making a run at things. I think he’s either retarded, drunk, or both.

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

I've taken to turning the volume off

I can’t even listen anymore. I don’t want to hate people, and most of the announcers make me hate.

Overserved and underwhelmed.

I haven't really been following Olympic baseball

But I just noticed that Jeff Stevens was on the team. Yup, the guy we traded for Brandon Phillips. So does Stevens’s bronze medal help even that trade up a little? No? Ok then.

3 up, 3 down for the Reds

Think about a possible name change, 3 Fast 3 Furious.

don't we already have one of those around here?

...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield

by Cy Schourek on Aug 24, 2008 3:29 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Guess I phrased that badly

I was suggesting that the present 3 Fast 3 Furious might want to change his name to 3 Up 3 Down to better reflect the nature of the team he follows.

by Brendanukkah on Aug 24, 2008 3:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

right

guess I read that badly. I haven’t been around much of late, I’m working on it.

This is depressing

Going into a game against a team like COL fully expecting to lose.

Mads here...

Nice to see Hobart in the line up – Brilliant Dustbrain
Oh and that great hitting Bako too
And the ever popular CoFlat.

Fielding errors on Votto and Bruce

I’m feeling really good about our young guys turning this into a better defensive club.

Guess not

Jay had his glove turned the wrong way..he coulda caught that one

Oh, I thought you were just relaying what happened in the game

If you were making a prediction, kudos to you sir. Not that it was incredibly hard to call, but still, kudos.

no

as I soon as I saw Corey on with the bases clear, i started typing.

He’s just that fast!

did one of the announcers say that?

Isn’t that why we got a speedster? Geez, not that the Rockies announcers are any better, they’re extolling praise on Corky Miller.

At least CP getting picked off

means Bako gets to lead off the inning.

i’m surprised the rockies didn’t just forfeit this game to avoid having to face that.

Quick poll

Did I fuck up my knee by:

A.) Sprinting on the beach, hitting some soft sand, sinking my leg into the sand up to the knee and falling on my face;

or

B.) Participating in a mosh pit on some stadium concourse after spending nine hours driving.
