PrintMilwaukee Brewers at Cincinnati Reds, May 7, 2009 7:10 PM EDT
|
|
|
After being thoroughly embarrassed last night, the boys look to get back on the winning track tonigh as our resident power bat off the bench faces off against a pitcher with the middle name of LaVerne.
Looper has pitched well against the Reds of late, going 4-1 with a 2.57 ERA since 2007. On the other side, Owings has not been good versus the Brewers in his career, as he's 0-3 with a 7.71 ERA in three career starts. (small sample size!) The Brewers beat the Reds 9-3 when the two faced off way back on April 15th.
The Brewers are 12-3 since April 22nd awhile averaging six runs a game. Maybe Ryan Braun will catch a cold from being out in the rain last night. A girl can dream, right? If not, maybe we can get Shadowhare to kidnap him until after the game.

The new
and probably not improved lineup, from the Fay:
Taveras 8
Hairston 6
Bruce 9
Phillips 4
Nix 7
Hernandez 3
Hanigan 2
Rosales 5
Owings 1
Votto is sick. It’s the first game he’s missed.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Votto gone and the 5th starter on the mound,
along with the fact that the Reds are friggin’ abysmal at home does not make me like our chances tonight.
But hey, I thought we’d win yesterday, so I’d love to be wrong again!
You forgot we have Micah PWNINGS on the mound

well
We got Nix instead of Dickerson, and Fay thinks it’s a long-term change.
Fay also reports that Janish’s arm didn’t fall off, despite throwing 35 pitches with a lot of 90 mph fastballs. He might not feel it until tomorrow.
Looks like the fans appreciated the effort, at least.
Either that, or his family came up for the night. You usually don’t see that kind of reaction for a pitcher with a ERA of 45.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Looking at this lineup
And I think Owings might be the most qualified to bat 5th. At least bat him seventh.
Ramon Hernandez at 1B? Hmmm.
You went full retard. No one ever comes back from that. - Sgt. Osiris
BP's sick too, another new lineup
Taveras CF
Hairston 2B
Bruce RF
Hernandez 1B
Nix LF
Rosales 3B
Hanigan C
Janish SS
Owings P
The bench tonight is McDonald and Dickerson, and that’s it.

Uh, boy
I hope Janish’s arm is all right, since he’s starting at SS.
They gotta DL A-Gon. This is ridiculous. They’re going to end up using a pitcher as a position player or something.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
maybe Madville will get his wish
and Owings will play LF.

There was talk of him playing 1B with the D-backs

Pretty please Please Dusty can he huh can he!!!
Esp. if he doesn’t fare well in the first couple of innings.Nix can move center and Micah can…..

The thing is...
wouldn’t you normally stick a pitcher in the outfield somewhere? It’s not like you can just stick somebody at third and hope nothing goes to him.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
None of our outfielders--
including the three in the field or the two on the bench—has ever played an inning in the infield in the majors.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
and how many innings
as our INFIELD played in the majors?

here's the rundown

Janish – 25 starts at SS
Rosales – 9 starts at 3B

FWIW, the last time a SS pitched (Davey in '88), he didn't start the next day
This should be interesting.

I don't think they knew 2 hours ago
They announced the new lineup with Votto out around an hour ago, and the minus-BP lineup a little more than 20 minutes ago. Still, it’s inexcusable that they don’t have anyone on their way up from Louisville right now.

they might be available to pinch hit
Last year, Doug Mientkiewicz was sick with the flu. The Pirates ended up having to use him, even though he was sick as a dog. They sent him in in the ninth, and he looked terrible. His eyes were glazed. Still, he almost beat the throw to 1B…but then took a full minute to slowly stagger back to the dugout. He looked completely dazed.
Worse, the game went to extra innings, and he ended up having to play defense five innings.
OTOH, they might not want BP and Votto in the dugout at all, in case they’re contagious. The Yankees usually send sick players back to the hotel, so they don’t spread their germs.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Maybe Dl-ing him might hurt his trade value

I’m just…wow. Owings hitting 9th, eh? That’s kind of silly. If you’re willing to buck convention and use him as a pinch hitter, is the world really gonna stop spinning because you bat him 7th when he starts?
"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

It seems like at this point...
at least Janish has demonstrated that he’s a decent replacement for Gonzalez for the next couple of weeks. So assuming whatever hit BP and Votto is temporary, why not DL Gonzalez and give him time to rehab?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
well,
i think we can assume its temporary, not herpes or something

Jeff Niemann pitching for Tampa tonight
The dude is immense. 6’-9", 280 lbs.
He was a first round draft pick out of Rice, the same year as Janish. I would guess he’s one of the reasons they moved Janish from pitcher to SS.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Along with Wade Townsend and Phil Humber, yeah.
Those two along with Niemann were hugely hyped first-round picks when they came out of Rice at about the same time. Humber and Niemann went 3rd and 4th overall, respectively, in the 2004 draft and Townsend was 8th overall in 2005. Humber looks unlikely to ever be more than a spot-starter in the majors, Townsend hasn’t been able to stay healthy and probably won’t ever make it to AAA, and Niemann has barely stuck around in Tampa and probably won’t be there much longer, though he should be a serviceable starter somewhere.
So yeah, I’d say Rice had plenty of reasons to not keep Janish as a pitcher.
It was a great stop by Janish too

Ali Boombaye
well
I’m glad Dusty wasn’t going to leave him out there forever. 35 pitches is kind of a lot, even for a regular reliever.
Any guesses on who would have raised his hand first?
You gotta think Dusty would go with an infielder, though. They usually don’t put outfielders on the mound, because they’re not used to how fast the balls gets to you in the infield.
And I don’t believe Dusty would let one of his young stars pitch. It’s usually a reserve guy. A Janish or Swisher, not a Votto or Bruce.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
As I said, Rosales would have volunteered first
I think it’s possible it could have been BP too. Seems like the kind of guy that would have fun with it. Or Dickerson. But yeah, not Votto.

I don't think they'd let BP pitch
Why risk injury to your franchise player?
I don’t think it would be Dickerson, either, because he’s an outfielder. Even if he pitched in high school or college, the balls are lot faster in the big leagues. If there’s a comebacker, he’ll be looking up waiting for the ball to fall from the sky…when it clocks him in the chin. ;-)
McDonald, maybe. He’s got a hell of an arm. And he plays infield as well as outfield.

Jim Day was sitting alone in the outfield, being an idiot.
Thom and Cowboy asked him if he saw any singles, so he yelled down at a group below him. Then they started going on about how he should hit on this woman who is clearly much younger than him…
And Jim Day is awkward even without all of that.
Oh, and eventually he persuaded a woman to come up and sit with him, and she clearly wanted to run as soon as she got up there. Thom and Cowboy once again wouldn’t shut up.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I kind of like Jim Day
He has a certain Snagglepuss quality that seems appropriate
Will you stop it with the vegetables
um
Isn’t there, like, a baseball game going on?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Until the last run scored
Thom and Cowboy seemed to think the Reds had a 10 run lead and the win was a formality.

It was strange how all of a sudden...
they realized that the outcome is still in question.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I'm really glad someone explained this.
I was at a bar, Reds on tv, but no sound… I look up see all of this and had NO CLUE what was going on. I thought the game had to be over they didn’t show anything for so long.

In fact, where’ the Pittsburgh report?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
To be honest, Rosales hasn't been doing much better with his outs.
I don’t think that’s our main problem right now.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
truthfully
I;m not that bitter about the bunt there, but in the 5th inning with no outs and a man on second in a close game. That should never happen, its just a possible he messes up the bunt.
Hodl on gusy, I need to sue the batheroom....
unless its the pitcher in that spot
I don’t care who it is, its just bad strategy, basically throwing away a chance at a big inning
Hodl on gusy, I need to sue the batheroom....
I thought of that after posting
I was talking more in general
Hodl on gusy, I need to sue the batheroom....
i feel like with the shape of the bullpen
trying to beg, barrow, and steal and extra inning out of Owings wasn’t that terrible.
Bloop
I dont disagree
i wasnt saying anything about taking out Owings
Hodl on gusy, I need to sue the batheroom....
And I know you didn't mean Owings.
And in general, I agree with you: I hate seeing bunts.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Funny...
Perhaps Dusty kept Owings in last inning because he was up first this inning…

you know tHom
Masset is pitching in this staff because the bullpen is shot to hell. I doubt he is normally in this position
Bloop
"Games like this"
Masset has been pretty good at not giving up runs this year, so I like him in this situation.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
but i still doubt that this is a reward for his performance
now if he holds up today, he may get some chances, although it is nice to have a guy down there who can suck up 3 or 4 innings if necessary.
Bloop
Oh, I think you're right.
He’s performed well as a long reliever, but guys get put into “roles” in the bullpen.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Jose Molina
pulled a hammy or something trotting home on a Johnny Damon double.
Yanks already have Posada on the DL. Their third catcher, stashed in AAA, is also on the DL. Their only remaining catcher was just called up from AA when Posada went on the DL. Because he’s on the 40-man, and no other catchers are.
Yankees fans now wondering if Javy Valentin or Paul Bako is available.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
at the moment, yes
Dunno what’s going to happen with Molina. All of a sudden the AA kid was pinch-hitting. (He can’t even hit AA pitching.) No word on Molina’s injury or if he’ll have to go on the DL yet.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
they should go with a 24 man roster
that extra spot just makes you look bulkier. Even with the pinstripes.
Will you stop it with the vegetables
strained quad
He’ll have an MRI tonight.
Quad injuries are bad news for catchers.
Cashman is probably on the horn right now, trying to pry a catcher loose from someone.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
His changeup looked pretty sweet last night
By the way, hello everyone.
Glad to see the offense awake without Votto.
Sorry to see Owings struggling a little bit again
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
yeah i think that this game was more a product of bad luck.
the defense gave the Brewers 2 or 3 extra outs in the 4th.
Bloop
last start was a little unlucky
this start was all on the defense.
Rosales blew a DP- resulting in no outs.
Owings tipped another DP ball- although Janish still had a shot for at least one out.
Owings did a nice job that inning keeping his compusure striking out the last 2 hitters and keeping it to a 3 run inning.
truer words have never been spoken
How was subbing justin?
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
i threw two 7th graders out
they have time out where i teach, which gets the problem kids out of my class room for the rest of the period, which is awesome. Like I threw two kids out for fighting over a pencil after multiple warnings, and i couldn’t defuse it, because it was a it is my pencil, no it is mine situation, and i had no way to know who was write (get it), so i got them the hell out of my hair.
I don’t mind it, but I couldn’t do it long term. My mom subbed for a number of years why she waited for a better position to open up, I don’t have her patience.
Thanks for asking.
Bloop
a couple of weeks ago
I had a 7th grader get frustrated when I kicked him out. He threw his bag, his books at a wall, his pen at another wall, and on his way out of the room shouted, “I fucking hate you!”
That was awesome. I’m not a sub, but a general music teacher which is just as futile sometimes.
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
Did he get to visit the principal?
Do you have hopes of being a band/orchestra/choir director, or do you like to try to insinuate a passion for music in those who may not have previously recognized it.
Bloop
I teach theory and jazz band at the high school
just took the general music stuff to get into the district
It’s a good district on long island, and the theory/jazz stuff will grow eventually and hopefully the general music stuff will shrink
Nobody can teach jr. high general music and care about it long term.
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
and yeah, he visited the principal,
but nothing happened. great support at my school
I’m trying to get him out of my class for next year.
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
oh that is fucking bullshit
i would have been so pissed. That kid should get in school suspension at the very least.
Bloop
I was in high school jazz band I played the piano
yeah i can imagine middle school general music is tough, a tough age group to control, and they don’t really care about learning about art or music.
I also had a 7th grade girl tell me i had a nice deep and mannly voice, that made me really uncomfortable, especially since i shouted “Be Quiet”.
Another 7th grade girl kept waving to me, and I’d point to her and she said “I just wanted to say hi and be nice”.
Bloop
well
you do have a manly voice
I have kids make inappropriate comments all the time. Usually about my mother or my wife. I had a kid tell me to tell my wife he needed his clothes back.
That was pretty funny. I told him to tell his mom I need my clothes back.
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
Once one of my (HS) students saw me with my girlfriend in a store.
The next time I saw him, he told me she was bangin’.

Oh no, it's not a cow. It's a minotaur. A creature of myth. And he got this one out of your mom's closet.

Masset reminds me of Reitsma
or the type of pitcher that sucks when he is starting and when he pitches in the pen he just lets the ball rip without worry for a long game.
Owings may find himself better in the role overtime as well. It may shorten your career a few years, but those years you will make money and be in demand.
Pitching in the pen
Owings has hit 95mph in the bullpen
are you kidding me?
Throwing harder uses up more of your stamina and strengh in the arm. Reitsma blew a gasket about 3 years after the conversion

I think it is different for different pitchers
some guys can handle throwing 110 pitches every 5 days but don’t recover well, and some guys can throw every day, but are gassed after 35 pitches.
Bloop
Better to let him walk (waddle?)
Than to let him hit a home run. They will need three hits to drive him in.
