Game 146: Reds at Brewers

Next Game

Bronson Arroyo vs CC Sabathia

 

Complete Coverage >

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Bronson Arroyo 14-10 4.84 1.44 143 59

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - CC Sabathia 9-0 1.42 0.99 94 20

Today is going to be a challenge for Dusty Baker.  When you've been puttting a getaway day lineup on the field for the last week, what do you do when you have an actual getaway day?  Expect Juan Castro and Neifi Perez to be acquired prior to game time.

I find myself really rooting for Arroyo right now.  I'm not completely sure why, but I guess that I want to have hope for next season, and maybe if he pitches well the rest of the year it will carry over into next season.  Or maybe I just like minutia like the fact that the Reds haven't had two 16-game winners since 1988 (Jackson/Browning).  I mean, I know it doesn't make any difference, but when you root for shitty teams, you have to take what you can get.

rooting for Arroyo

im with you on this. hopefully he can rack up a few more wins and end up looking respectable. if there are plans to trade him this winter (im on the fence on that one) a 16-10 record looks much better than 14-12. or whatever.

Can CC win the Cy Young?

With Webb and EV faltering over the last month, does CC become part of the discussion or is it Lincecum’s to lose?

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

by jch24 on Sep 10, 2008 12:17 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

CC will get credit for the pennant race

but this isn’t Rick Sutcliffe going 16-1 in 1984, so he’ll have a slightly harder chance at it. Of course, if he goes 12-0 with an ERA under 2.00, it’ll be hard to pass him up.

but Rosales should be starting over him. One is already a journeyman the other is still only 25.

I completely agree

I think Dusty is really trying to protect the young guys against CC Today. Only 2 lefties in the whole lineup, that has to be our lowest all year.

http://blogs.jsonline.com/brewers/default.aspx

Also, read thru that guys game blog last night. He disses the reds and calls them one of the worst pitching staffs in baseball. Im pretty sure our bullpen is ranked 3rd in the NL, and our starters may not be CC and Sheets, but without Fogg are pretty respectable. Our problem this year has been offense and defense.

But can’t we have, just once, a lineup that doesn’t have Patterson, Bako OR Cabrera?

Um, I almost advocate playing Patterson these days

He has been kind of hot lately.

…lord, I feel dirty.

by Brendanukkah on Sep 10, 2008 12:42 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

depends on what your ultimate objective is

If you want to win a few more games this year, then maybe a “hot” Patterson is the way go to.

If you want to make absolutely sure he’s not on the team next year, keep him on the bench. With each hit down the stretch, the fear that Dusty will convince Walt he’s a great bench/defensive replacement/veteran minimum guy creeps further into my brain.

hmm

Not sure how you define “hot” or lately, but starting with yesterday and going back every game from there, the best OPS I can find for Patterson is .662, starting coincidentally with the first game after Dunn was traded. Every other date range in the last 2+ months that ends with yesterday’s game gives Patterson an OPS lower than .662.

BTW, using Justin’s Total Value Numbers, can anyone guess who has been the three least valuable players (counting both offense and defense) to the Reds this season? Bonus points if you can properly order them for worst to best.

all three players get significant position adjustments for the difficulty of the position they play, and yet they are still the cream of the suck.

Ranks

Patterson is the 2nd worst CF, barely ahead of Andruw Jones
Kepp is the 4th worst SS, pretty far in front of Tony Pena.
Bako is in the bottom 5 (the list of catchers is messed up for some reason so I can’t get an accurate number, but he’s definitely near the bottom.

by Brendanukkah on Sep 10, 2008 2:25 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

according to MLBtraderumors

both Stormy and Affeldt should end up being type B free agents. if Walt knows what he is doing, and thats a huge IF, they both will be offered arbitration. Affledt will definitely get a long term deal somewhere, so thats a no-brainer. Stormy is an iffy case though. i would offer him arb and hope someone offers him more. but if he stays i think he’s still worth it. he hasnt been awesome, but he is definitely reliable and sturdy. and the VP helps i think. we’ll see.

I haven't checked his splits

But it seems like Weathers is pretty valuable on the road, and only really shits the bed when he’s pitching in Cinci. I do know that every time I see his ERA, I’m always surprised that it’s as low as it is.

by Brendanukkah on Sep 10, 2008 12:59 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

he's been pretty good since he came to Cincy

but this year, even though his ERA (3.19) is the lowest its been since ’03, his WHIP (1.53) is much higher than its been in the past few years. i can see him falling off next year, but if he only gets 3 mil or so i can live with it. of course, this is all hoping he rejects arb and the Nats sign him to be their closer.

From the Enquirer:
Chris Dickerson wasn’t in the lineup for the third straight night on Tuesday and probably won’t start again until Friday when the Reds face the Arizona Diamondbacks. Baker wanted to give Dickerson’s sore left achilles tendon additional rest, especially with left-hander CC Sabathia scheduled to pitch today.

I was wondering if there would have been an outcry in the Chris Young game if Yost had pulled the starters and put in Gamel, Salome, and Escobar in like the 5th inning. It was a blowout, and they could have used the experience, but people probably would have bitched that it lessened Young’s achievement, if he had gone on to throw a perfect game.

Arroyo has done some pinch runner-ing this year

so under the assumption that Dusty’s staff isn’t made of morons, Arroyo is faster than Hanigan.

They need some major restructuring on defense

and offensively, they still need at least one if not two big bats. And will likely need some bullpen help. And perhaps another starting pitcher, but that is actually a lower priority. If they can do that in two players, then Jocketty will get GM of the Millenium.

Good job by Bronson....

Will he come back for the 7th? or does Toothpicks PH for him?

Depends on whether or not we bring in Glendon Rusch

Nope, he's in to hit

And he knows CC’s weakness! Grounders to the pitcher.

Well, this reminds me....

of the time Ray Knight let the pitcher bat (can’t remember who it was) in the top of the inning…..and then put in a relief pitcher to START the next inning…..prompting me to yell from my Red Seat location….“We’ll win despite you Ray!!”

And now, they're all red seats

I liked it when certain colors were better than others.

8 strike outs for CC

and half of them belong to Votto.

Wow

A golden sombrero for Jo-eh by the 7th inning. Impressive.

Deja vu?

Either the frequency or amplitude was very low

Why not let him throw 150 pitches?

We don’t have many relievers around, after all.

I think we overmeet as a society.

That could get interesting

A Dusty-managed pitcher versus the rental they don’t mind abusing. The starting pitchers could combine for 300 pitches in this game.

You can have Coffey back if you want

I agree

We’ve got one hot pitcher right now. Let’s pitch him until he bleeds!
