Game 143: Reds vs Cubs
Chicago Cubs @ Cincinnati Reds
|
|
|
The Reds close out their second-to-last home stand this year while sitting in second-to-last place in the Central division. Aaron Harang has been the least supported Reds starter this season. The offense has scored more than 4 runs only 4 times when Harang was on the mound. By comparison, Bronson Arroyo has gotten that much support in 16 of his starts and Edinson Volquez has gotten more than 4 runs of support in 18 starts.
But Harang is not completely innocent. He's definitely having his worst season as a Red, but what's dissappointing is that there is a clear delineation on his performance. Before his relief appearance in San Diego, Harang was just 2-6, but his ERA was 3.50 and his WHIP was 1.22. In the 10 games following his 4 innings of relief, he went 1-7 with a 9.06 ERA with a 1.90 WHIP. He's improved a bit over his last 3 starts, but he's still given up 5 HRs in just 19 innings.
It'd be nice if the Reds could score some runs off of Marshall and make Harang's appearance a footnote, but it sure would be great to see Harang dominate for a few starts to end the season (if he's going to continue to pitch).

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

What about this one?
It's so watery - and yet, there's a smack of ham to it.

That's a good question
We have Jets and Dolphins and somebody vs. somebody else. Then the Browns game in the afternoon.

I just looked at the TV distribution map
They’re showing Bengals-Ravens in eastern Maryland (natch), but not in Northern Virginia. It’s like a 30 mile difference at most, but everyone starts caring about the Favre-Pennington grudge match at the state line.
Personally, I just hope Lavernaeus Coles is playing and healthy enough to catch a touchdown or two.

If I wanna see two ‘roided out dudes in a street fight, I’ll head to a downtown club one Saturday night. :)
Of course all that MMA stuff doesn’t have the corruption that boxing does (yet), so there’s that.

And against the Bengals, apparently. Gonna be a long season.

So, um.
Was an 0-for-4 (with a walk) night for Dickerson reason enough for Dusty to sit him in favor of Patterson?
