Bronson Arroyo seems to have waken up a bit since the 1-inning, 9-run shellacking he received from the Milwaukee Brewers back on May 6th. Since that start, he's averaged over 7 innings pitched per start with a 3.32 ERA. The Reds are only 3-3 in those starts though as the offense has failed to score more than 3 runs in 4 of the 6 games. It's becoming a common theme with this team, don't you think?
You may remember Kyle Davies from when he pitched for Atlanta from 2005-2007. He has faced the Reds three times previously, but that doesn't really matter since this roster has been almost completely turned over since then. Willy Taveras is batting .500 against Davies though, so there's that. (Yes, it is in only 2 AB). Davies hasn't been all that effective this season, but with the Reds at the plate, does it really matter?
I want to re-emphasize how important it is that the Reds take 2 of 3 in this series. If they want to be considered a legit contender, they can't be losing to last place teams.

First!
The number of posts I have made in this thread is now at least as large as the number of runs this lineup will score.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Minus two runs or so

I just looked up Corey Patterson...
Patterson’s line for 2008: .205/.238/.344, for an OPS of .582 in 392 PAs
Taveras’s line for 2009: .234/.288/.294, for an OPS of .583 in 222 PAs
After tonight’s game, it’s pretty likely that Taveras will have a lower OPS than Corey Patterson’s 2008 number. Impressive. Of course, the most relevant number for him is OBP, and since he’s still at .288, he has a ways to go before matching Patterson. I have faith in him, though.
Corey started 32 games batting first and 6 games batting second. So far, Taveras has started 45 games batting first and 2 games batting second.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
God, why do you people have to post things like this? I feel ill.

Oh, an update as if anyone cares
The burger challenge has completely confused my body. I have been ravenously hungry over the last 24 hours.
"It seems as if every mistake I've ever made in life I've had an erection in one hand and a Bud Light in the other."
I usually can't
Especially when it involves a shitty CF who’s crippling the Reds’ chances of winning.
"It seems as if every mistake I've ever made in life I've had an erection in one hand and a Bud Light in the other."
Another fun fact for you!
Gonzalez-.581 OPS in 176 PAs! Those are your 1-2 hitters ladies and gentlemen!
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
And so I think,
we can justify Charlie Scrabbles’ challenged assertion in yesterday’s reposter that Gonzalez is the worst player on the team.
Seriously, how do you keep two guys in the lineup on a daily basis who are OPSing under .600? Especially when the two most capable guys on the bench play those two positions. It’s astounding.
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
Not only at the top of the lineup, but batting 1st and 2nd
How many other managers put their worst two players at the top of the order?

The one difference is that Gonzalez is trending back
to decency, while Taveras is going the other way.
Gonzalez is a 7 or 8 hitter on a good team, but he’s OPSing .660 over the past 28 days…while Taveras’s OPS over that span is a whopping .270.

Pitcher Micah Owings won’t be used as a DH.
“Have you watched him swing lately?” Baker said. “He’s in a little slump.”
Owings is 0-for-his-last-5 at-bats.
If 0-for-5 is a little slump…what is 0 for his last 28 and 1 for his last 33?

Sully that isn't an appropriate way to be thinking about young women who are top athletes in their sport.
You should be looking at these women as persons who are of above average intelligence and are superior competitors. With with great hand and eye coordination and are physically exceptional athletes, Women who despite having great racks and although possessing overwhelmingly sensual sexuality have risen above tawdry ‘labels’ and would just as soon as kick you in the balls as have you be droolin’ all over them…so get with the fucking program!

Last June, they went 9 games where they scored only 21 runs and batted .188/.270/.310. That’s one less than this stretch but only slightly better hitting than this year.
I thought this would be a historically bad stretch, but when I looked today, it wasn’t even in the top 15 for fewest runs scored in an 8-game stretch for the 2000s. So much for the previous all-or-nothing offense being the problem. I’d take all or nothing now over nothing-or-less.

I love Kenny Chesney
I wonder if ’tHan does too.

Handlin' bidness
Give him a pass.
"It seems as if every mistake I've ever made in life I've had an erection in one hand and a Bud Light in the other."
what did he do?
You don’t see outfielders get errors very often.

Got lazy
It bounced and hit off his foot or maybe his glove.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
maybe his hamstring is still bothering him?
Or maybe this whole freakin’ team has just given up.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Can we pull him out now?
Like RIGHT NOW
Needless to say, this didn't work and everybody died.

I don't have to apologize
I can’t say this enough.
"It seems as if every mistake I've ever made in life I've had an erection in one hand and a Bud Light in the other."
My DFA wishlist just gets bigger and bigger
WT, Burton, Lincoln, and Gonzo is temporarily off of it.
Burton's pitches aren't horrible
but these guys are pulling out singles anyway.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Wow
Is Jocko really “standing pat” with this abortion of a baseball team? Screw it, he should be fired before Dusty should.

He doesn't have to trade/sign
Castillo would cost nothing and offer better defense, same goes for hopper.
Stubbs wouldn’t cost much to bring up.
Heck, Bill Bray couldn’t be much worse than Lincoln or Burton and he wouldn’t cost anything either.
There is also no excuse for not sending guys down. If someone took WT or Gonzo off our hands they would be idiots.

Bray is on the DL for the rest of the season
TJ surgery.
They probably don’t want to start Stubbs’ clock yet, which I understand. Teams without a lot of money have to play the clock game.
They have called up Castillo. Not sure Hopper is what they need.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Bad call on Bray...
Thx for the reminder…
I agree that they don’t want to start the Stubbs clock.
Castillo is back down.
by RampantRedsFan on Jun 13, 2009 9:45 PM EDT up reply actions
yes, Castillo is back down
But it’s not like he can do anything Janish can’t, and they aren’t using Janish.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Oh yeah, and ANYONE else would have got that grounder that Gonzo couldn't handle
It was 8 feet on the SS side of 2B. Flat Out Statue would have got that.

He doesn't have to make a deal
But fuck, he has to do something. I’m almost convinced that Dusty batting Willy and Gonzo 1-2 is a “look at the bullshit I have to work with” play.

I wonder about this sometimes

He has a plan
This year’s not the year and everyone knows it. He’s biding his time while fielding a (mildly) competitive team.
These thoughts help me sleep at night.

Janish
Has there been an official reason why Janish (.283 BA and 1 error) can’t find a way on the field. with awful rosales and a-gon. (hitting .216 and .226) … maybe we get him a membership to sunset tan?
the official reason ??

Dusty, you have to PH for Taveras here.
Even Hairston would be an improvement.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
34 straight
the beat goes on…he can catch Andy Fox tomorrow.
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
Andy Fox
He’s got the longest streak of not reaching base that I can find. He went 38 PAs for the Expos back in 2004.
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
I really wish people would start emphasizing the lack of getting on base
instead of the 0 for 32 on hits. Everybody is just tweeting about the lack of hits. His job is to get on base. He’s batting leadoff. And he hasn’t gotten on base once in the last 34 PAs. It’s the longest streak by a Reds player in the 56 years of data on Baseball Reference.
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
Really, like not once? No walks, no hit by pitch, nothing?
That’s fucking amazing, like you have to try to be that awful.
"Sir, can you please put your pants back on?"
Uh yeah.
I can say with complete confidence that I could be an equally effective replacement in the leadoff position in his past 34 plate appearances.
"We, as for me all seasons you are affected peculiarly in the edge of my seat and are happy concerning the fact that the Adam Dunn fan has been mixed up exactly." - Reynard-san
Settle down francis :)
"It seems as if every mistake I've ever made in life I've had an erection in one hand and a Bud Light in the other."
The Reds have been Mexecuted
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
The silly, stupid part of my brain is expecting Votto in the lineup tomorrow
That’s what it’s the silly stupid part.
Needless to say, this didn't work and everybody died.
Which will happen first:
Votto’s return or Taveras on base?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Tougher Question
Taveras said at the start of the season that he wanted to steal 100 bases. He’s been on base 62 times this year. Will he reach base another 38 times before the end of the season?
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
Votto's return or Manny's?
Needless to say, this didn't work and everybody died.

i went to the Bats/Clippers game tonight
the eyewitness report should be up tomorrow afternoon. it should be illegal for a team to keep a guy like Willy Taveras when a guy like Drew Stubbs is such a mensch.

Start with a classic:
"It seems as if every mistake I've ever made in life I've had an erection in one hand and a Bud Light in the other."
Sorry, I finally crashed and burned after a looooong week :)
"It seems as if every mistake I've ever made in life I've had an erection in one hand and a Bud Light in the other."
They do though
"It seems as if every mistake I've ever made in life I've had an erection in one hand and a Bud Light in the other."
Quick note
Helluva slide on MLBN.

This will be it for now, I have to resort my crap, I have pics scattered all over the place for some reason and can’t find nothin’. I told you I get “ridey” when I drink. Guess who’s underneath me?

I get the feeling this is a question you pose often...

That person is smart to hide their face in shame and embarassment.
Whomever that may be.
