their first two records are really great
im not as familiar with their newer stuff though. except “Sex On Fire”. that song could wake the dead.

wouldn't that be cool if managers used their best relief pitcher
to get outs when the team needed it, instead of, you know, starting the ninth with a 3 run lead

I'd like to see some numbers on this
but he allows too many baserunners to be an effective jam-getter-outer. If Burton didn’t suck this year, this is the perfect place to use him, but I’d rather have just seen them go with Rhodes for more than what was basically an intentional walk.

Actually, he has pitched not badly for now.
The blame for this was allowing a scuffling Harang to pitch the 7th while not pinch-hitting for him in the 6th with two on, two out.

Well, good at bat by Brandon. He had to guess fastball on 2-1 there, and got a breaking ball in the dirt. Go figure.
horrible
the difference between 3-1 and 2-2 is huuuuge.

Shocking that the jumpy, coked-up Rosales would strike out swinging to end the game.
Dude does not strike me as the type to handle pressure situations well.
Are you suggesting that he's ... un-clutch?
But he plays the game the right way!
Everybody's a jerk. You. Me. This jerk.
Gotta PH for Harang in the 7th. Gotta use MIcah instead of Rosales.
You’re not helping our cause, Dusty.

but putting him in cold against a closer who throws in the upper 90’s isnt the best game plan.
he hit a Ryan Franklin ball 10 ft over the fence. Remember Franklin? he’s not imtimidating..

Well
A) A double into the gap would’ve worked just fine there
B) You’re never going to convince me Rosie has more power than Owings
C) That was the first time Rosie’s been up with a game on the line, as Owings showed last weekend he can handle that situation.
there were three very acceptable times to use owings
instead we got at bats from harang, dickerson, and rosales..
you may be in awe of rosales’s first fifteen games, but there is no doubt that owings is a better hitter than Harang or Dickerson

Fuck that, if this team is actually any good, they should have no trouble winning both series. And since they already swept Arizona, I guess they’ve gotta win the next two in San Diego, since tonight was an abomination of a performance by Harang, Dusty, and everyone with a bat not named Joey.
Harang's performance was not an abomination
Not quite what he’s capable of, but not bad. Blame Dusty for not PH’ing for him in the 7th, blame Dusty for not yanking him sooner, blame Dusty for not bringing in Cordero, blame the other old dudes for letting the runs score.

Well tough AB for Rosales
Although I believe that Owings is probably a better fast ball hitter…still Rosy has been in the middle of this winning streak (unlike Alex Gonzales)…Rosales was just over matched.
.
Not a very good night for Dusty Baker from a tactical point of view..but hey we can still get 2 out of 3 from these turkeys…
Never Try and Never, ever Care - That’s the Madville Way
But no!
Gonzalez won’t stand for being benched. Just like he can’t stand for going on the DL. He did it last year, and he’s not doing it again, goshdarnit!
Dusty’s preference toward washed up old dudes with something to bitch about is getting old.

Truer word were never spoken more truely
You’ve got to have your best fastball hitting PH in there – I believe that Micah Owings is that guy, not Rosales.
Never Try and Never, ever Care - That’s the Madville Way
not Joe Nathan
At least not tonight. Brett Gardner, oft criticized for being unable to hit even a fastball down the middle, tripled off him. This after he hit an inside the park homerun and a single earlier in the game. He was only in the lineup because Johnny Damon got ejected…and went 3 for 3.

Gonzo has been on the 'outside' for a long time now...
I just don’t see how he is that great of a fit for this team. Hairston was all over the place, diving for balls and so would have Rosales had he been in the game. That kind of effort pays off in the long run…like over 162 games.
I too am weary of Gonzo, but as hedgehog aptly points out….he’s ‘earned’ another start.
Never Try and Never, ever Care - That’s the Madville Way
According to Dusty
You just can’t replace A-Gon’s defense. Bullcrap. Hairston showed he’s much better than Gonzalez is now. Gonzalez isn’t half the SS he used to be, and he never could hit.
Unforunately, even though Gonzalez may be in our doghouse, he’s still sleeping at the foot of Dusty’s bed.
by manichedgehog on May 16, 2009 12:55 AM EDT up reply actions
you can't seriously be blaming Gonzalez for the loss?
1 for 2 with a walk and 2 RBIs? I bet any team would be happy to get that production from their SS.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
We're not
but that “hit” was a ball Giles lost in the lights and then had bounce off his glove. And that walk was an IBB so that the Padres could get to Harang.
no error on the play?
Usually if it bounces out of your glove, you get an error.

Hairston is not a started, but Janish could be
I think EdE’s absence will be felt increasingly over the next several series. The Reds can cobble something together at short, but without a real 3B and another RH power bat they’re not afraid to get injured on the basepaths they just don’t have the personnel.

Fya has comments from Dusty...
and as usual, he makes no sense. First he goes on about how Harang is his ace:
Aaron’s my ace. He hates to come out and you hate to take him out.
And then he blames the bullpen collapse on the fact that those relievers hadn’t pitched much recently:
Neither one of them has gotten much work lately. We’ve got to a way to get them work and keep them strong.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
