Game 48 Thread: Reds at Brewers

Cincinnati Reds at Milwaukee Brewers, May 30, 2009 7:05 PM EDT



Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ Milwaukee Brewers

Saturday, May 30, 2009, 7:05 PM EDT
Miller Park

Aaron Harang vs Dave Bush

Mostly clear. Game time temperature around 70.

 

Complete Coverage >



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Aaron Harang 5-4 3.36 1.31 56 15



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Dave Bush 3-1 3.92 1.11 42 15


Aaron Harang has pretty much owned Milwaukee over the last 2 seasons to the tune of a 2.50 ERA over his last 5 starts facing them.  Unfortunately, at the Reds have been known to do with Harang, he only has a 1-0 record in those 5 starts.  The current Brewers roster has hit Harang fairly well (10 HR in 247 AB), but Harang has managed to hold them to just a .311 OBP, which has helped keep their run production down.

Dave Bush has handled the Reds pretty well the last two times he's faced them, giving up just 10 hits and 3 runs in his last 15 innings against the Reds.  Willy Taveras and Brandon Phillips are the only 2 hitters to have faced Bush more than 10 times, and neither have hit all that well off of him.

Hopefully the loss of Joey Votto, who is clearly the heart and soul of this team, does not affect their mental state too much.  This road trip is too important for them to not be on their game.

Go Reds!

In a poor choice for third, with a life-time Little League average of .224, playing an effective second

I'm well aware of that ...

it’s just that seagulls usually aren’t all over the playing surface at Wrigley and divebombing in and out of the picture. It’s like ‘Birds’ at the Friendly Confines. I was curious as to what drew them all there.

about hitting pitchers and they interviewed Dunn about Harang and Dunn said that Aaron wasn’t that bad it’s just that his bad speed is incredibly slow. He also said that he expected Aaron to hit one out one day.

So the last time the Brewers scored more than 4 runs

Was almost 2 weeks ago when they beat the Cards and RR favorite Kyle Lohse.

The Brewers offense woke up

when Dusty decided to leave Harang in for WAY to long and then brought in Burton for some reason who continued to give up the runs

If Dusty were merely afflicted with epilepsy, we would be fortunate enough to be spared a double switch while his seizure runs its course.

Does It Make Me Dirty

To want Harang to be a bit more like Carlos “Headcase” Zambrano? I was at the yard last night, and after getting staked to a 3-0 lead, Harang came out about as lifeless as possible. Get fired up. Get pumped. Be ready to pitch through someone’s head the instant someone thinks about touching one of your hurls.

Instead, he came out and, if my scoreboard watching was correct, threw a ton of fastballs, ignoring his usually-devastating curve, and basically pitching batting practice in the 5th inning once they realized you weren’t throwing 98… only 92.

You’re the goddamn ace of the team, in theory. Dusty might have let you lose the game, but I would have too. You don’t go talk to your #1 starter in the 5th. You expect him to get it done and take a leadership role out there on the field. The more I watch Aaron Harang, the more I think he’s never going to be that.

by Senor Pez on May 31, 2009 9:30 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Harang said his fastball was the only pitch he had control of. In the local paper’s blog, the reporter noted that the Brewers mentioned how they had never seen that many fastballs.

by ol Pete on May 31, 2009 11:07 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I didn't read through the game thread

but is it possible that Harang sucked ass because of the after effects of Monday’s stupidity with coming after the rain delay. Or was this just normal ass suckage?
