PrintCincinnati Reds at Arizona Diamondbacks, May 13, 2009 9:40 PM EDT

On Paper this looks like no contest. The Reds are putting their best pitcher so far this season up against a 22-year old with 6 career starts above A-ball. The Reds offense has been tearing the cover off of the ball in May (.299/.362/.471) and the Dbacks...well...have not (.242/.311/.386). The Reds have won 4 of their last 5 and the Dbacks have lost 8 of their last 10. It would seem cut-and-dry who is going to win this game.
But you and I both know that this is not how baseball works.
There is a reason that the Diamondbacks have called Augenstein up straight from Double-A. He's been damn impressive down their so far. In six starts this year he's allowed just 23 base runners in 34.2 innings, surrendering only 3 runs on the season. Of course, that was in Mobile, AL, not the Majors Leagues. Hopefully the Reds won't fool around with him. He's got good control, so unless his nerves get to him, I don't expect a lot of wildness. Thankfully the Reds are hitting right now, so they don't necessarily have to wait around for the kid to make mistakes.
Here are some fun facts on Johnny Cueto:
- He has 11 walks on the season, but 6 of those came in his second start of the season.
- He has only allowed more than one run in a game once and that was in his first start.
- He has gone at least 7 innings in each of his last 4 starts.
- He has yet to throw more than 110 pitches in a start. That's some pretty good management by Baker.
- He has allowed just 2 home runs so far this year. He had allowed 6 HR in first 6 starts last year.
- His ERA (1.59) and ERA+ (289) are both 2nd in the National League, though both are pretty far behind Johann Santana (0.78, 559).
- I might be in love with him.
Game time is 9:40 ET, which is right in the middle of the 2-hour season finale of Lost. Enjoy the game, I'll be busy time travelling.

It's hard to make room in my heart for all these Reds.
But I love Johnny, Edinson, Joey, and Jay all the same. There’s gotta be a good nickname for the 3 young Js.

Bucs up 2-1 on Cards in 6th
And Brewers down in 2nd to Florida, 2-1.
Cubs still scoreless in the 1st.
Let’s get this done and create some distance between us and the middle of the pack.

Hairston 6

Dickerson 7

Zimmerman's hit streak ends at 30
Per MLB.com, but there is light at the end of the tunnel in D.C.:
“Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman’s hitting streak ended at 30 games Wednesday afternoon at AT&T Park, but the Nationals started a winning streak with a 6-3 victory over the Giants.”

Bailey should be sent down to AA
He can’t strikeout a thing with that crappy slider he has, but that is all he has.
If the Reds don’t win this game, upset of the season so far IMO.

Nah, he just isn't the same player he was 3 years ago
No curveball and a low 90’s pitcher. Don’t get me wrong. Once he improves his slider and changeup he will be a good mlb pitcher, but it sucks when a pitcher peaks powerwise as a 20 year old.
by Johnnypronto on May 13, 2009 8:49 PM EDT up reply actions
I don't buy that
He was hurt last year and it fucked up his mechanics, I’ll give you that. But what I won’t give you are comments like this (I think it was this start) when people I know close to the Reds tell me “Bailey’s finally back to the old Bailey, he looked sharp as hell”. I’m not sure what axe you have to grind against him or the Reds in general, but let it go man. Life’s too short for that shit, trust me.
Lastly, the kid just turned 23 years old. Did you have any idea what you were doing at 23, much less be expected to live up to unrealistic expectations in front of thousands of people?
I miss the old days of the internet when men were men, hot girls were middle aged men, and hot underage girls were FBI agents.....
Simply disagree
1.His power curveball is gone
2.So is the consistant mid-90’s heat
That is what the essense of what he was.
Now he is a low 90’s pitcher trying to develope a new out pitch(slider).
Don’t get me wrong. He will develope into a good pitcher once he improves those pitches. But his ceiling has fallen down to a 2/3 type guy which is not what we hoped for 3 years ago.
Might as well accept that and deal with that reality. My source says the Reds freaked out in 2007 spring training, when he came in and the power was gone. Explains why they began tinkering so much. .
We all hoped he would regain his power, simply looks like he never will.

and as I type.............
another disappointing effort by Bailey.
Great command, but little stuff. You gotta throw a quality breaking pitch kid(plus offspeed when you throw in the low 90’s.
by Johnnypronto on May 13, 2009 9:09 PM EDT up reply actions
Maloney at least can throw good secondary stuff
Bailey can’t. Not that I blame him, he was a power pitcher and they usually are 2 trick ponys. Once it is gone, you are in trouble for many of a year.
by Johnnypronto on May 13, 2009 9:15 PM EDT up reply actions
I'll agree with you again
They tinkered with him, which is about the worse thing they could have done. But again I say, he’s 23 years old and for the first time in his short life there’s no pressure on him to be the savior. Let him take the ball every fifth day and get out of the way.
IMHO, if he’s called up this year due to injury I think he makes the most of it.
I miss the old days of the internet when men were men, hot girls were middle aged men, and hot underage girls were FBI agents.....
I doubt it
He has no secondary stuff. He just started throwing a slider over a year ago, it has a long way to go.
I think he is a throw in with a trade. Lets put it in perspective, he is the throw in, not the centerpiece. Amazing fall for the guy.

Bailey's options will hurt his trade value
He is out after this year. If he is demoted to AA and then is ready for AAA next year but not quite the majors, they can’t send him down. IMO they are stuck with him unless they want to sell low, which may be unvoidable.
The Reds don’t have alot of trade outside of Alonso.
