Oliver Perez vs Bronson Arroyo

Mostly sunny. Game time temperature around 55.

 

Complete Coverage >


Cts_medium
In order to get ready for today's start, Bronson Arroyo is dealing with his recent health issues the same way he deals with all health issues - he's consulting the brochure his doctor gave him.  Did you know that you can lessen the risk of spreading Carpal Tunnel Syndrome to your partner by using proper posture and avoiding repetitive activities?

I wouldn't say that I'm in panic mode yet, but I haven't seen a lot from the team over the first two games that makes me excited about today.  Outside of Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips, the offense has been fairly dormant - even with scoring 7 runs last night.  Pretty much the only thing this team has done well on offense is walk, which frankly blows my mind.  Heck, I only even remember one or two outs that were hit hard.  It definitely didn't feel like the Reds were hitting all that well at the park last night.

The good news today is that Willy Taveras is finally in the lineup, so no Darnell McDonald...in center field.  McDonald - our only other right-handed outfielder now that Hairston has had his virtually inevitable first injury of the season - will be starting the game in left field versus the left-handed Oliver Perez.  This isn't a plea for Jonny Gomes to be brought up.  This is a plea for the Reds to get somebody who is actually a serious threat from the right side to play the outfield.  I don't care who it is. But, uh, Jonny Gomes is waiting in the minors.

All of this bitching about the offense doesn't matter though because really the most important thing today is Bronson Arroyo.  I know there is some sentiment out there that the Reds should dump Arroyo and bring up Homer Bailey, but that can't possibly be the best scenario for the Reds.  What the Reds really need is a healthy Bronson Arroyo, because I'd much rather have 6 Major League ready pitchers than 5.  So if I had a vote, I'd vote for Arroyo to be healthy and stop sucking out on the mound.

And I'm pretty sure Dusty Baker would agree with me, as well as all of the guys out in the bullpen.  Already the bullpen has thrown 139 pitches and 8.1 innings in 2 games.  These old guys can't handle all of that work.  I think they'd really appreciate it if Arroyo can throw 7 innings.  Also, they'd love it if he can do it quickly too so that they can get out of the park in time for the Early Bird Special at Dennys.

The Reds face an old nemesis today in Oliver Perez, who is 9-4 in his career against Cincinnati with a 4.02 ERA.  Admittedly, a lot of the damage that Perez did against the Reds came in 2004, but those scars don't fade quickly.  Plus, Perez pitched fairly well against the Reds in 2 starts in 2008, going 6 innings in each, winning one and losing one. I wish I could say that the Reds will be better off now that Griffey and Dunn aren't in the lineup, but Dunn was really the only Red that had any success off of Perez.  The combined batting line of current Reds who have faced Perez is .141/.238/.169, so yeah, it could be another long day at the plate.

I desperately want to see a win today.  An 0-3 start would again feel way too much like that terrible 2003 season all over again.  Then again, that was also the year that Bob Boone was fired...

The SF Chronicle

and other sources are reporting that one of the others killed was an Angels employee. So it’s probably not his parents, unless his parents are employed by the Angels.

and

the story is up on the front page of the Angels’ site now. They say they are preparing a press release.

The source for the story is reportedly a family member of Nick’s. I would guess if his parents were involved, they’d have mentioned that.

Not really

His parents, if they were not in the car, probably have other things on their mind besides notifying the press.

The story apparently broke in Maryland, where his family lives. If his parents weren’t in California before, I’m sure they are now. It’s common for information to come from non-immediate family members when things like this happen.

Word through the grapevine here...

seems to indicate that at least his mother is not involved. As you might guess, a lot of half-baked and third hand information going around right now.

The Angels issued a statement

They said no other Angels employees were involved.

Nick’s parents issued a statement as well, so I guess they were not involved, either.

“Nick’s family expresses sincere gratitude for all the help the Angels have provided. He lived his dream and was blessed to be part of an organization comprised of such warm, caring, and compassionate people. The Angels were his extended family. Thanks to all of Nick’s loyal supporters and fans throughout his career. He will always be in everyone’s hearts forever.”

Not really

Hairston’s out due to injury, so that explains McDonald (who was playing against lefties anyway), and Hanigan and Janish are at least equal to Hernandez and Gonzalez. The rest of the lineup is the same.

But I think I agree with you. I’d rather have Hopper than McDonald. If we must have a right-handed CFer, Hopper may not be great, but he’s better than Darnell. So what if he can’t hit the ball out of the infield.

Since, after all, it’s much better for your better hitters to come up with outs on the board but no runners on the bases.
