Game 144: Reds at Brewers
Cincinnati Reds @ Milwaukee Brewers
|
|
|
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 aren't up yet
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.

please put cherry on the 60 day
it will lower the reds price for the rediculous extension they will regret in 2010, 11, and possibly 12, and maybe even 13.

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?

100% chance of rain
Lovely. At least Miller Park has a roof. Just think about Aaron Rodgers, having to make his first start on Monday night, against a divisional opponent, trying to shake the ghost of Brett Favre, in the rain. Lucky guy.

Can we ask them to open the roof...
So perhaps a different lineup can be used to try to win a game for Voltron?
I think perhaps Juan Castro might be available. He would fit right into this lineup.
Hey Dusty...Are you sure you're OK? You might need an MRI.

Murker is actually pretty interesting, Methinks he would be a great coach
and someday a manager…I mean if coach Narron…

and also hurting my fantasy team in the playoffs.
