Game 60, Thread 2: Things to do in Kansas City when you're Red


The Reds seem to have come out with the mandate to be aggressive.  It's not working.  They're swinging early, but only Jonny Gomes is getting hits.  Meanwhile, the Royals have a 4-1 lead and Mike Lincoln is pitching.  Yowzers.

He’s missed Maddux territory. And good news! That’s an increase of up to 9.5 pitches seen per inning!

Doing good

I didn’t eat until late this afternoon and when I did my stomach hurt BAD immediately afterward, not sure why. But I just had breakfast for a late dinner with no troubles, so there’s that.

I can't call Bailey dominant.........

He gave up some hard shots and walked 2 batters while only striking out 9.

A dominant start is like 9I 1H 0ER 1W 15K

Wood was very dominant.

Nope, I was a the game!

He was around 88-92mph most of the night to he hit 97mph in the 9th and visably held him arm in pain. I wonder if a MRI may be due?

So he was throwing 97mph heat in the 9th

And he’s still not dominant? I’ll have to disagree. I think he was very dominant.

2006, Bailey would hit 97 just about every game

And regularly hit 94-96 with the latter number alot of the time. Plus arm.

Now he is a finesse pitcher that when he REALLY rares back, can get into the 97mph range. He did it only once tonight. He has a average fastball at 88-92 sometimes getting into the 93-94mph ranges.

Not impressed, neither was anybody else I was with. He did have a spitter which showed some potential.

The Reds should just trade him for a utility/Gomes like player just to get something out of him.

Yankees don't have much to spare

It’s a high-scoring game tonight, but I think it’s because it was Livan Hernandez on the mound.

Yankees were swept by the Sox. Again. They’re 0-8 against the Red Sox this season.

game just ended

It was the most bizarre ending ever. A-Rod popped it up, and it looked game over, Mets win. But Castillo dropped it. He let it bounce out of his glove. I don’t know how he missed it. Jeter and Teixeira were both running hard, even though it looked like the game was over, and they scored. A walkoff popup for A-Rod.

I actually feel sorry for K-Rod. Blown save, but he didn’t deserve it.

ouch

The funny thing is, you’d expect A-Rod to be on the other end of a play like that. It’s the only real flaw in his game. He can’t catch popups.

I gotta say, the Yankees didn’t deserve to win this one.

I guess the ghosts of Yankee Stadium found the new digs…

I think that if it comes to that, the season isn’t looking good.

Hanigan

I don’t expect him to keep it up all season, but right now, he’s probably the Reds’ hottest hitter.

Taveras is the first player to not get on base via a hit, walk, or HBP for 29 straight PA

since Wil Nieves did it for 31 PAs from 2005-2007.

It’s the longest single season streak since Andy Fox went 38 PAs without getting on base in 2004.
