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.

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!!”

is that he puts the second runner on, and nobody’s in the bullpen warming up. Outstanding.

a balk?

Can a pitcher legally throw towards home plate but only throw it just past the mound? It would kind of be a modified pitch-out to get the runner to commit to running. The pitcher would then just pick up the ball and get the runner out (and the batter would get a ball).

Every Rose has his thorns

From Joe Posnanski:

One more Derek Jeter thought. When I talked with Pete Rose. I asked him if he thought Jeter had any chance to catch him on the hit list.

I wish I’d had a camera at that moment because the look of pure disgust on Pete’s face was beyond priceless, it was worth more words than every blog post I’ve ever written. He said, "Come on."

I said, "Well, he has about as many hits as you had at his age." And if anything Pete’s look became MORE disgusted, and he smirked and he said what might be my favorite quote of the year, and one that (sadly) I probably won’t be able to get into the book so I give it to you now:

He said: "You tell Derek that the first 3,000 are easy."

A guy I dated in college

was half Italian, and insisted on square pieces. To him, pizza was rectangular, not round.

My dad ordered a pizza del mari in Sorrento

Basically a seafood pizza. But all of the seafood was still whole. Clams and oysters in their shells. Three giant prawns. A little octopus. When the waiter brought it out, my dad’s face just blanched. But he was game, and eventually made it through the whole thing.

is that I don’t go to Jumbo Slice more often.

I do NOT regret not owning a “Hugs encouraged” shirt.

511 Coments on a Wednesday Afternoon

For a struggling team with a manager living in the past, in a city that is both racists and homophonic…this is an amazing feat. I wasn’t here to help much…but my heart was with you guys through the excruciating pain of another amazing afternoon of managerial blunders – capped off with C -Dick hitting PH for Jerry Jr.

Rock on Red Reporters…onward til we meet in the afterthread.

And Farewell to Toad Coffee – Ha Ha Brewers – you guys are going to blow it for sure now

You can tell your uncle stuff that you could not tell your dad. That is kind of the role of an uncle. I feel very much like a father sometimes but sometimes I feel like a teammate.
