Game 140: Reds vs Pirates
Pittsburgh Pirates @ Cincinnati Reds
|
|
|
Skyrockets in flight today. And a helluva pitching matchup to boot. Plenty of good seats still available, I'm sure.
BTW, the Cubs backed into eliminating the Reds from the division title last night. They've lost 5 in a row now. Oh, and the Astros have won 8 games in a row for the second time since the start of August. They very well could end up finishing in 3rd place in the division. Trading for Randy Wolf and LaTroy Hawkins are looking like brilliant moves now, huh?

We should see this lineup the rest of the year.
No Corey. No Bako. C-Dick in CF.
It's so watery - and yet, there's a smack of ham to it.

I found this interesting
From Fay:
The most correctable mistake came in the seventh with the score 4-4. Wilkin Castillo led off with a single. It was the first big league hit for him. After Chris Dickerson struck out, the Reds put the hit-and-run on with Jeff Keppinger at the plate. But Castillo missed the sign. Because he didn’t run, second baseman Freddy Sanchez didn’t break to cover the base. He was right where he needed to be to start a 4-6-3 double play.
"Kepp hit that ball right where he was supposed to," Baker said. "That was a big play. It would have been first and third. You can’t make mistakes like that in a one-run game. You’ve got to get the signs.
It’s good to see them making base running mistakes even when they are not running. You would think that Dusty would learn to stop putting on plays since they never work, but I guess if you put on a play and it fails, you can always blame the players then.

An excellent point was made by someone on Hal's blog
Dusty consistently defends Patterson’s mistakes and failures, but doesn’t he seem to toss other, younger players under the bus an awful lot? Am I exaggerating this in my mind? I can think of a couple of instances where he defended a mistake by Patterson (most recently the failure to score on the non-forced double play), but he seems to consistently emphasize the mistakes the young players make (i.e. so-and-so is young and he has to learn you can’t make these kinds of mistakes).

I agree.
I can’t recollect one bad thing he’s said about Corey.

That's some flat-out aim
for Kepp to place the ball exactly where he was supposed to. Next time Dusty should tell him to put it between the thirdbaseman and the foul line.
