Game 147: Reds at Diamondbacks

Cincinnati Reds @ Arizona Diamondbacks


Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ Arizona Diamondbacks

Friday, Sep 12, 2008, 9:40 PM EDT
Chase Field

Johnny Cueto Aaron Harang vs Brandon Webb

Clear. Winds blowing in from left field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 95.

 

Complete Coverage >

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Johnny Cueto 8-13 4.77 1.37 149 59

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Brandon Webb 19-7 3.41 1.20 166 57

The Reds seem to be catching these division front runners all while they are on a downswing.  The Diamondbacks have lost 6 in a row and have just 3 wins in their last 16 games.  Similarly, Webb has been struggling as well.  In his last three starts, he's pitched only 13.2 innings and has a 12.51 ERA. 

Johnny Cueto pitched okay in his last start, but didn't get any help from the bullpen and the Reds lost 14-9.  He has a 3.73 ERA since the start of August, but an injury and a general inability to pitch deep into games has left him with just a 1-3 record in that span.  He still needs 2 wins to reach double digits on the season.

Aaron Harang is the starter tonight, not Cueto.

Other than that, I can't think of any storylines for this game.  Can you?

Interesting lineup

Dickerson, lf
Richar, ss
Votto, 1b
Encarnacion, 3b
Bruce, rf
Castillo, 2b
Patterson, cf
Bako, c
Harang, rhp

Looks “good” 1-6, but then… I guess I should be satisfied that both Wilkin and Richar are getting to play at the same time. I wonder if Rosales could play LF?

Yep can't complain...but I will anyway

There is no reason for Bako to be in this line up period.
Can’t Wilkin Castilto (whatever) catch ..then we could have Rosales get a start – or why not Hannigan and Rosales?
I understand that with Donkey on the other team we’ll need fast OFs.

I’ll trade TJ for EJ.

Wilkin Castillo is on a mission to play every position outside of pitcher before the season ends

He’s Freel w/ less scrappiness and more ability (I hope)

by dougdirt on Sep 12, 2008 9:17 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

he was saying

how they were both players that suffered from unrealistic expectations. people expected Dunn to be a run producer and people expected Patterson to be a leadoff hitter. in a weird, Cowboy sorta logic it kinda works, but it still burned my cat pretty bad. but he’s a tough guy. he’ll be alright. thanks for your concern though.

by Charlie Scrabbles on Sep 12, 2008 9:22 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

See that's the problem though

Only Dusty expected Patterson to be a productive leadoff hitter. Anyone else with half a brain has been wondering all season why Patterson led off even once. So the analogy sucks.

I think

it was more of a ‘7 years ago people expected Patterson to be a good leadoff hitter’ and ‘7 years ago people expected Dunn to turn into a .280/..400/.575 type of player’. Neither guy turned into what was expected of them.

although he didnt meet certain expectations, turned into a very high-quality ballplayer. the other is barely capable of playing baseball on sega genesis.

my 9/20 ideal lineup

1) Castillo C
2) EE 1B
3) Votto LF
4) Bruce RF
5) Stubbs CF
6) Patterson SS
7) Arroyo 2B
8) Owings 3B
9) Danny Serafina P

I’d pay $37 for a ticket to that game!

Pretty innovative.

Two decent pitchers in that lineup, neither of which are batting 9th and neither of which are pitching. You may be on to something here…

The Rockies designated for assignment

today a pitcher the Reds should make every effort to acquire. Pedro Strop, 23, RHP. Could be a future closer. Has a 92-93 mph fastball, an impressive slider and a strong split. I’m amazed Colorado DFAd him when they activated Todd Helton.

Baseball America rated Strop, a former SS, as the Rockies’ No. 9 prospect after last season. The kid has a good, live arm. I’d love to see the Reds acquire him.

Carry on.

I think it was a mistake on SBN and my part

I think Cueto is actually supposed to start on Sunday. SBN’s game preview module listed him as the starter and I didn’t double-check because they are usually right.

2. Tim Raines, 808 steals, 146 caught, 84.7%
3. Eric Davis, 349 steals, 66 caught, 84.1%
4. Willie Wilson, 668 steals, 134 caught, 83.3%
5. Barry Larkin, 379 steals, 77 caught, 83.1%
(tie) Tony Womack, 363 steals, 74 caught, 83.1%
7. Davey Lopes, 557 steals, 114 caught, 83.0%

Plus sinkerball pitchers throw more wild pitches/passed balls. The big reason that the sinker has gone out of style is that Mike Stanton throws it. Ain’t nobody want to be Mr. Stanton these days

Dunn got taken out of LF for a defensive replacement!

But he also moved to 1st to stay in the lineup. I wish we had a not dumb manager.

Took a short break to listen to Governor Sarah talk to Chuck E. G.. This woman doesn’t have the ability to directly answer simple straightforward questions. What that Honey….?

Oh Mrs. Mads says that because she doesn’t seem to know what Charlie’s talking about.

Well back to the game – boy maybe Dusty wouldn’t be any better than Sarah for VP

Well the Reds made it intersting

the bull pen sure has gone down recently. The Galleria isn’t looking to sharp and the Great Emancipator keeps setting the other teams run free.

I know Hairstunned was badly fooled on the strikeout pitch…but I like this guy. I wish he wasn’t hurt so often. Good chance that he’ll be the starting SS next year.

Well better get to bed…well maybe I’ll check on the Hurricane and check out some analysis of Governor Sarah’s monologue.
