I'd say this is a pretty good pitching match-up, but with the way these two offenses are performing this season, this is an excellent pitching match-up. Of course, now that I say that we'll probably see a 10-9 ballgame.
The Reds offense has been quiet the last couple of games, managing just 5 runs. Outside of Gonzalez, Hernandez, and Bruce, they're still doing a pretty good job of getting on base, but the lack of hits from anyone not named Votto is making it hard for them to score runs. They may have a hard time with a tough lefty on the mound, but I think it if they can continue to be patient, they can get to Rodriguez for a couple of runs. With the way Harang has been pitching, that may be enough.
Rodriguez is a fastball, curveball, change-up pitcher who mixes up his pitches well. His fastball sits around 89 MPH most of the time, but he doesn't rely on it too much as he throws his curveball and change up quite frequently. Even though he is left-handed, Rodriguez had more success against righties last year. He held right-handers to a .689 OPS in 2008, while lefties posted an .811 OPS, albeit in just one-third of the plate appearances. I wouldn't suspect that that is a normal trend for him though as historically he's been pretty even on both righties and lefties.
Harang is coming off of the best start the Reds have seen in a long while - a 3-hit, 9 strikeout complete game shutout of the Pirates last Sunday. That start is hopefully just a signal of things to come from Harang this season. He appears to be healthy and if he can stay that way, he should be the bedrock of the rotation all season. And when he's on, he's easily my favorite pitcher to watch. Volquez and Cueto have electric stuff, but I'll take Harang hitting his spots all day and night. It's a thing of beauty. Hopefully we'll see it again tonight.

He's still got options
And he doesn’t have 5 years service time yet.
I’m thinking he could end up in Scranton for awhile to straighten out his mechanics.
But I also think the new park is encouraging home runs. They’re really flying out of there for some reason. Dunno if it’s the design of the park or just some temporary weather condition, but the park factor for the new Yankee Stadium so far must be insane.

It's actually a good thing.
The shows that care AND have enough muscle with the network to get their demands met creatively actually get to pick when a show has a “cold open” or whether they begin with the opening (credit segment), or whether they can use a shortened version of the opening to allow for more jokes to play out in a show that’s running long. Also, some segments work better right out of the credits, and some work better as cold opens.
It’s a good thing. You’re winning.

it is not a good thing
i always assume i should fast forward so i wind up fast forwarding through part of the show. Then I have to rewind back to the right spot.
Also, DVR’s are not exactly responsive, so they don’t always stop when I tell them to. So i get like 15 banked actions that wind up happening at once.

by chandrathan on Apr 18, 2009 7:58 PM EDT reply actions
Granted I have not evidence or this, but perhaps
there is correlation for this. If lefties get more ‘chances’ to make it as a pitcher than righties due to their scarcity, then they have more opportunity to make it. Thus, they have more chances to ‘develop’. Once again, sounds good in theory, but I have no epistemic proof. And, as Popper would say, correlation does not equate to causation.
you did more than chris did
so i appreciate that

Dusty Baker said it was the first [triple play] he’d seen in person. When he was with the Dodgers, they hit into one, but he was in the bathroom.- C Trent

I am sure I am wrong, but Rodriguez.
At least for this year.
I was going to give say yes, due to the edge on defense
Then I just checked Ramon’s BB-Ref page, and amazingly, before tonight he had thrown out 4 of 9 basestealers (Pudge threw out 2 of 6). My paradigm has just been shifted.
Oh, and Pudge is batting .189 compared to Ramon’s .185.

FTH? From Rick Pitino
"My family and I were recently threatened as part of a criminal scheme to extort money. Upon receiving these threats, we reported this extortion attempt to the FBI. While I did not want to make this matter public, I recently learned that the individual behind this extortion attempt has already gone to the media with false, defamatory and outrageous allegations in an attempt to pressure me to cave in to this scheme. I want to make it clear that I intend to vigorously defend my reputation and the character of my family against any criminal scheme to extort money. I am hopeful that the media and public will recognize the slanderous nature of this direct and malicious attack. My family and I appreciate the support we have received from Tom Jurich, Dr. James Ramsey, and the entire Louisville family. Because this is a federal criminal investigation, I cannot comment further at this time. Any inquiries should be directed to my attorney, Steve Pence."
