Game 132: Reds at Astros
Cincinnati Reds at Houston Astros, Aug 26, 2008 8:05 PM EDT
|
|
|
In his last 10 starts, Bronson Arroyo has pitched at least 6 innings 9 times with an ERA of 3.68, 6.6 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9. Of course the start previous to that stretch was the 1+ inning gem in Toronto where he gave up 10 runs. Perhaps that was a wake up call? (ASIDE: What's the likelihood that Arroyo sings the song Wakeup Call by Maroon 5 in his show?)
When the Astros came to Cincinnati nearly three weeks ago, they were 54-59 and coming off of back-to-back losses to the Cubs. Since that point they've gone 12-6, including an 8-game win streak that started with a sweep of the Reds, but they've actually lost a game in the standings to the Cubs - not that it matters. During that time the Reds went from 3 back of the Astros for 4th place (woo hoo) to 9 back after going 5-10 and trading Adam Dunn.
The Reds still haven't won back-to-back games in over a month. Let's see if Goodroyo can get on the front side of one of those tonight.

Why not
Adam Rosales at 1B with Votto in LF? Rosales had a slew of 2-hit games immediately before his call-up. Is Dusty giving this youngster the best chance to succeed by sitting him for a week?
I honestly wonder where Dusty’s head is when Chris Welsh of all people is questioning his judgment. Some blame has to go to Walt, though, for allowing Dusty to do dippy things like playing He Whom Shall Not Be Named instead of the youngsters, in clear defiance of the BS PR letter sent out recently.
I hope Jolbert can prove himself tonight to be a valuable part of the 2009 team. He’ll only be 57 in March…

One thing I've noticed
is how cavalier the average baseball fan seems to be about outs on the base paths.
It’s like once the player gets on, then his getting thrown out stealing is at the least a moral victory.

“As long as it doesn’t take too long,” Baker said. "All we hear about is the speed of the game. As long as they can do it in a timely fashion, so my pitchers aren’t standing around too long.
“I just hope we don’t have any calls. Let somebody else have some calls.”

conventional wisdom
says that you need around 1500 PAs before you get a sense of a hitter, but hoping that this Reds coaching staff is going to help him be more patient is a bit foolish.

this is the most glaring fault of our coaching staff. once-in-a-decade talents dont come through your system too often, and it takes a special kind of bad baseball person to screw up The Next Big Thing.

The idea of having a losing candidate force a roll call vote to massage their ego is really tough to understand. One wonders if the shoe were on the other foot if they would have given Obama the same courtesy. I think not.

While she has high popularity scores among some in this country, she also comes saddled with some of the highest negative Q scores of anyone in a looooong time. And you can only imagine the field day that the GOP would have in mobilizing the troops against her. That would turn the election into a slam dunk for McCain.
