Game 160: Reds at Cardinals

Cincinnati Reds at St. Louis Cardinals, Sep 26, 2008 8:15 PM EDT



Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ St. Louis Cardinals

Bronson Arroyo vs Braden Looper

Clear. Winds blowing from left to right field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 75.

 

Complete Coverage >



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Bronson Arroyo 15-11 4.66 1.41 158 66



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Braden Looper 12-14 4.13 1.32 102 44


If Arroyo and Harang can manage to not suck over the next two days, the Reds will complete their first season with 4 starters making 25+ starts and having an ERA under 5.00 since 1992.  What's sad about that stat is that there are 10 teams that meet that qualification this season and 85 teams that have done it since the last time the Reds accomplished that feat.  Folks, we've seen some bad pitching here over the last decade+.

Looper has owned the Reds recently, going 3-1 with a 1.75 ERA over his last 5 starts against them.  He did however lose his last start against them as he surrendered 4 runs over 7 innings while Goodroyo only allowed 2 runs in 7 IP.  I'd like to see more of that tonight.

Only three more of these bad boys left!  Enjoy them while they're still here!

08 Starts

I read somewhere that when Pettyjohn starts Sunday it would be the 47th start by a rookie this season. Hopefully that experience will really start to pay off next season for Cueto. And I haven’t kicked Homer to the curb yet either. Hopefully next season is when the light goes on for the young man.

Nope

I’m watching Yankees-Red Sox. :)

Honestly, I am so sick of politics. And I really don’t think either candidate is talking about the important issues, or even has a clue what they are.

How’d we score that last run? Gameday says EdE singled, but was out at 1B.

Good news for battlekow and the Crew

The Brewers are winning and the Mets are losing (Philly is being rained out).

Ok Caleb

What are the odds of one guy having two triples in the same game?

by Brendanukkah on Sep 26, 2008 10:23 PM EDT reply actions  

What's the story with all these triples?

Are our outfielders misplaying them? Or are they legit hits, just falling in the right places?

by Brendanukkah on Sep 26, 2008 10:24 PM EDT up reply actions  

it has happened at least once this season

a guy for the Twins did it earlier this week

Lincoln's really been shaky down the stretch

Which is understandable since he hasn’t pitched in the last two years. I wonder if we bring him back next year. (I think we have to, since we’ll have enough other guys leaving the pen).

by Brendanukkah on Sep 26, 2008 11:02 PM EDT up reply actions  

i think he comes back

his arm has to be sore this late in the year coming back from the injuries

CoPa

took a bad route to the ball, did not set himself up to make a throw and then didn’t even try to throw him out. That was medium depth and a major leaguer should be able to make that throw
