Game 144: Reds at Brewers

Redsmouth_tiny by Slyde on in Game Threads Comment 475 comments

Cincinnati Reds @ Milwaukee Brewers


Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ Milwaukee Brewers

Monday, Sep 8, 2008, 8:05 PM EDT
Miller Park

Edinson Volquez vs Dave Bush

Cloudy with a 100-percent chance of rain. Winds blowing out to right field at 10-15 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 60.

 

Complete Coverage >

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Edinson Volquez 16-5 3.12 1.32 174 77

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Dave Bush 9-10 4.33 1.15 96 38

Volquez could have 4 or 5 starts left depending on how strictly the Reds stick to a 5-man rotation.  So, he's got an outside chance at 20 wins, but it's doubtful.  I don't know how important 20 wins would be given that it would simply be a cherry on the crap sundae that is this season. 

Then again, Volquez and Arroyo have a chance to do something that hasn't been accomplished in the NL since 1986.  That is, they can combine for more than 32 wins while playing for a team that finished at least 10 games under .500.  The last pair of pitchers to accomplish that in the NL were Fernando Valenzuela (21 wins) and Orel Hershiser (14 wins) for the Dodgers in 1986 while playing for a team that finished 73-89.  Yeah, pitcher wins are a lousy stat to follow, but c'mon, I'm grasping at straws this late in the season.

In other news, if the Reds win the rest of their games and the Brewers lose the rest of theirs, the Reds will finish one game in front of the Brewers at the end of the season.  I think that makes the goal pretty clear.

We cheered for 30-30 for BP last year

I’m cheering for 20 wins for the Wagon this year. Which is nice, because it will also mean that the Reds have won when he gets a victory. Synergy! Formerly Riverfront.

shit

Look at the lineup via Fay:

Patterson, CF
Keppinger, SS
Phillips, 2B
Votto, 1B
Encarnacion, 3B
Bruce, RF
Castillo, LF
Bako, C
Volquez, P

What a crappy 7-8-9-1-2 With everyone up here, no way Bako, Keppinger (Yes, I said It), and Patterson should start. Anyone else see Kepp’s OPS since the All-Star break? Its pretty sad, hovering around the .600 mark. I think that should put to rest of moving Kepp to 3B full time in 09.

Keppinger

Actually, I was wrong. Its much worse

July OPS – .496
August OPS – .572
Sept OPS- .551

Why are we leaving him at the Number 2 hole?

Patterson

July OPS – .269
August OPS- .659
Sept OPS- .686

Throw out July when Patterson spent time with the Bats, Corey has been a better offensive player than Keppinger. Who’d of thunk?

They’re being called up tomorrow.

This might be the last hurrah for some in the lineup. Three have to go to make room for hte callups.

Or two, if they put Cherry on the 60-day DL.

Both Kepp and Corey have stunk it up.

The only person on the planet who would consider Kepp as the starting 3rd baseman in the number 2 slot would be:

Dutsey (thats right D U T S E Y) Bakedbrains.

So we’ve got C-Dick who been raking a bit, and Rosales, A. Phillips and Hannigan and oh it doesn’t matter Dutsey only wants to prove his claim that the Reds team w/Grif and Dunn etc was not Walt’s and his team. Small ball forever dudes! Who’s on Monday Night Football?

I think perhaps Juan Castro might be available. He would fit right into this lineup.

The D-Train

Has been stalled at the Single-A Station.

Apparently, he’s won over his minor league teammates by picking up the tab for dinner every night, as well as buying them soap and deodorant. Sometimes he even buys the other team dinner.

Must be weird to be back in A-ball.

We're playing each other in the RR fantasy football league

And I’m beating his ass. Adrian Peterson needs to turn into Jim Brown for him to have a chance at this point.

I'm glad Paul Bako is so good at "working with young pitchers"

that he helps the opposing team’s young pitchers as well. Or just any opposing pitcher, really.

Your post was about the funniest thing I’ve seen all day. :)

Not least because we all did the same. Nobody ever heard of Enrique Cruz when he was called up last year. So of course, we Googled him. o_O

Try looking him up on baseball-reference instead

There’s less gay porn stars there, with one exception to the rule. (Don’t google him, either.)
