Game 44 Thread: Astros at Reds

Houston Astros at Cincinnati Reds, May 25, 2009 1:10 PM EDT



Next Game

Houston Astros
@ Cincinnati Reds

Monday, May 25, 2009, 1:10 PM EDT
Great American Ball Park

Wandy Rodriguez vs Aaron Harang

Mostly cloudy,rain. Game time temperature around .

 

Complete Coverage >



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Wandy Rodriguez 5-2 1.83 1.00 53 16



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Aaron Harang 4-4 3.19 1.23 52 14


They're already facing the Astros again?  Didn't they just have 2 series against them?

And Wandy Rodriguez again?  How many times are they going to face this guy this year?  I only ask because he's pretty much owned the Reds for the last year.  In his past 5 starts against the Reds, he's 3-1 with a 1.65 ERA.  In his two starts against the Reds this year, he's 2-0, going 14 innings and allowing just 7 hits while striking out 15 batters.  So far this year the Reds have been doing their part to put Rodriguez second in the NL in ERA and 3rd in hits per nine innings.

This will actually be the third time this year that Aaron Harang has faced Rodriguez on the mound.  In the previous two starts against him, Harang hasn't been particularly effective, allowing at least 5 runs in each start and only making it to the 6th inning in one of the starts.  He's going to need to be more on his game today if the Reds are going to win.

The Astros come to town having lost four in a row and 6 of their last 8.  They are in last place in the NL Central, 7 games out of first.  The Reds are currently 3rd in the division, 2.5 games behind the Cardinals and Brewers who are tied for first.  The Astros have won 17 of the last 19 games between these two teams in Great American Ball Park.  That has to be one of the more embarassing statistics for the Reds players.  They gotta step up and take some pride this series.  Anything less than winning two out of three is unacceptable.

Lineup from Fay

Willy Taveras cf
Jerry Hairston 2b
Chris Dickerson lf
Jonny Gomes rf
Ramon Hernandez c
Alex Gonzalez ss
Adam Rosales 1b
Paul Janish 3b
Aaron Harang p

Here’s hoping for some unexpected offense for a seemingly lackluster lineup.

Fay gives Dusty's justification for Dickerson...

by Gray on May 25, 2009 11:29 AM EDT up reply actions  

well, at least that's true

in 27 career at-bats against lefties, Dickerson is hitting .259 with a .370 SLG. So yeah, he hits the shit out of those lefties.

What's wrong

is that would put Rosales at 3rd where he’ll do more harm? More likely it’s the soreness thing. Maybe this lineup is all about making Harang simultaneously proud and angry that they think such a lineup is good enough for a W.

by Matt McWax on May 25, 2009 1:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

It looks like our two best hitters today

will be Cherry and Gonzalez.

Ouch.

Let me write out a formal proof for you.

by Gray on May 25, 2009 12:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

It could be worse

If we are lucky, Hernandez and Gonzalez keep their hot bats.

Rosie seems to be warming up a little bit, Gomes has some power, and if Dickerson gets in a good game it’s not thatbad….

by wishfuldrifter on May 25, 2009 12:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

I completely disagree.

Hernandez may have a “hot bat”, but his “hot bat” isn’t really hitting anything but singles, which don’t do a whole lot of good if nobody else in the lineup can hit. Alex Gonzalez can have a lucky fluke series against the Indians but I’m far from convinced that he’s hot. Rosie is 5 for his last 26, Gomes is probably the best bet in our lineup to get anything across the board (which is frightening), and a good game for Chris Dickerson is 0-3 with a walk and no fuck-ups in the OF. Poor Harang.

The fact that they’ve let him hit 47 career homers against them shows me they don’t have the brains to change their strategy or the balls to throw Berkman some chin music. He absolutely owns this team.

i had this conversation with my coworker the other day

i actually like him. I don’t like hearing him go on and on about smawbaw, but i like his asides about how much he likes ribs, his football or cowboy metaphors and, especially, his voice. I am one (of the few, apparently) who loves to hear him say “right … down… … … …. broadway.”

sorry all.

What do you mean, "blank slate"?

by boobs on May 25, 2009 1:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

I feel like he knows pitching, well

but (nearly) everything else out of his mouth makes me cringe. But, I must admit that I have a severe prejudice against Rednecks. I hate them.

So yesterday the Orioles intentionally walked Ryan Zimmerman

to bring up Adam Dunn with the bases loaded. Idiots.

Of course, they brought in a lefty to face him…the only problem being that lefties are hitting .368 against that reliever.

Anyway, he hit a grand slam.

Let me write out a formal proof for you.

by Gray on May 25, 2009 1:52 PM EDT reply actions  

Oh, and my favorite part

was that the Nationals actually tempted them to IBB Zimmerman by bunting over the runners from first and second with no outs.
