Game 133: Reds at Astros

Redsmouth_tiny by Slyde on in Game Threads Comment 375 comments

Cincinnati Reds at Houston Astros, Aug 27, 2008 8:05 PM EDT


Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ Houston Astros

Wednesday, Aug 27, 2008, 8:05 PM EDT
Minute Maid Park

Josh Fogg vs Roy Oswalt

Clear. Winds blowing out to right field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 85.

 

Complete Coverage >

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Josh Fogg 2-6 7.66 1.62 42 25

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Roy Oswalt 11-9 4.23 1.33 132 39

You know what I realized today?  The Reds are 7 games away from being mathematically eliminated from the division title and 12 games away from being mathematically eliminated from the wild card.  So, as long as we don't see a combination of Cubs wins and Reds losses that total up to 7 for the rest of the season, we're still in this thing!

Oh, and Josh Fogg is facing Roy Oswalt tonight, so as long as the Cubs don't win 6 games tonight, we're still in this thing!

I know this will come as a shock to most of you

But Scott Boras is a dick.

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

by jch24 on Aug 27, 2008 6:17 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Very sneaky

This looks like it’s much bigger than Boras, but to pull the “we never really had a deal” stunt is pretty low. So is commenting on another player’s (Hosmer) contract.

He was the Giant Killer last year, or whatever

He made a reputation of pitching well against the other team’s ace. Go figure, huh?

by Brendanukkah on Aug 27, 2008 8:07 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Better that way.

We’re probably going to lose against their ace.
We’re probably going to lose when Fogg pitches.

This way, that’s one loss instead of two.

It must be hard to be a Major League hitter

It seems so easy, I know. But check this out:

Said Bruce, "I know I have to be aggressive in the zone. These pitchers up here know right now that they don’t have to throw me a strike, so they won’t. Why should they? I wouldn’t either if I didn’t have to.

"This is all a learning process I need to shorten that process as quickly as I can," he added. "I haven’t struck out seven times in my life, ever. In your whole life you are always experiencing first times and hopefully that’s the last time I experience that.

"But at this point I was going up there more trying not to strikeout than get a hit," he said. "That’s a bad approach. That’s like playing not to lose rather than playing not to win."

Gotta a good head on his shoulders. I wish his manager wasn’t trying to make him be more aggressive.

FSN Houston is also

teasing a conversation with Geoff Blum about Talladega Nights.

I’m excited, especially as I remember his recent ruminations on players’ superstitions.

You’ll forgive me for quoting them in full:

Are the defensive settings correct?

Cause the points for solo tackles looks screwy, at least who they’re assigned to…

by Officer Dibble on Aug 27, 2008 8:52 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

i noticed that...

but i think they are rewarding an player for making a tackle after a turnover.

If I’m wrong on that, I’ll gladly change it

I ain't often right but I've never been wrong.

by chandrathan on Aug 27, 2008 8:53 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

well

to me it looks like noone else is getting points for tackles other than those positions

I have never been in a fantasy league that awards points for tackles…only sacks.

Correct

Sacks are scored differently than tackles

But if you do want to

award points for tackles, then I think it would make sense for the defense to get those points as well.

that was the default setting...

but it seems that if we award a point for every tackle it would make the defense be worth way too many points

Fogg is hitting a wall

Or more accurately, even the wall is getting a hit off Fogg.

by Brendanukkah on Aug 27, 2008 9:02 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Josh Fogg is the kind of player that wearies you as a Reds fan

When the Reds signed him in the off-season, everyone knew he was going to suck.

When the Reds said he wasn’t brought in to start, everyone knew he eventually would.

And everyone knew that he’d be seeing us through the death throes of another shitty season.

No more Josh Foggs.
