Tonight, Willy Taveras goes for history. An 0-for-5 night tonight and Taveras establishes the longest streak without getting on base since at least 1954. Honestly, I don't want the Reds to lose, and I actually don't want Taveras to fail, but I do want to see this. History is history.
In honor of Willy, here are some ridiculous notes on how bad the Reds offense is right now:
- Tonight's #1 and #2 hitters, Taveras and Alex Gonzalez, have a combined OPS of 1.155. Joe Mauer could go oh-fer in his next 10 plate appearances and still have a higher OPS than those two players combined. And they are guaranteed to have the most at bats for the Reds tonight if they play the entire game. Good managing!
- The Reds have 6 players in the lineup tonight who have an on-base percentage of .322 or lower, not counting the pitcher. Amazingly, the Reds are only 14th in the NL in OBP.
- Then again, they are 13th in the NL in slugging while playing in a homer haven. The only teams lower than the Reds are Atlanta, San Francisco, and San Diego. They latter two play in two of the least homer friendly parks in the Majors.
- The right-handers on the Reds this year are getting killed by right-handed pitching: .228/.297/.340. Luckily, the lefties have been picking up the slack: .270/.361/.508. Laynce Nix and Jay Bruce are the only left-handers in the lineup tonight against right-handed Jair Jurrjens.
- The Reds are 3-7 in their last 10 games. They've had 60 hits (I repeat, 60 hits) in their last 10 games and averaged 2.4 runs per game. As a team they are batting .175/.256/.260 in that stretch. That's right, a .260 slugging percentage.
- They currently have 11 players with 25 or more PA during the month of June. Eight of them are hitting .238 or worse for the month.
I'm heading down to the game tonight because I can't pass up a chance to see history. Hopefully the rain will hold off and they'll be able to get the game in. I'm looking forward to seeing Aaron Harang pitch. It's been a while since I've seen him live. Oh, and hopefully we'll have pictures of a signed Failcoeur T-Shirt from jch24. Enjoy the game and savor the history!

first!
But not Willy’s first hit of the month or anything. There will be no reaching base for him.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
If Alex Gonzalez plays nine innings, then that is praiseworthy
Pssh. All your “facts” make it look like this is a terrible team.
Also of interest tonight: Reds 1st rounder Mike Leake starts against the hated Longhorns at 7pm on ESPN 2
Will you stop it with the vegetables
AS SOON AS I GO .....
CHECK HIM OUT HE IMPLODES! THE START OF THE 4th HE HAS 5 SO AND 2 HITS GIVEN UP. THEN HE GIVES UP A WALK, HITS A BATTER, AND GIVES UP A 3 RUN BOMB! FUCK!
I was on a flush draw?!?!?
Some good news I guess
The Fay says Votto and Encarnacion were on the field working out, and according to Dusty, Votto will do a minor league rehab “relatively soon”. I say best case, Joey goes to the Bats tomorrow and Thursday, and is back for the weekend. Worst case, well you or I don’t want to know.
Edwin told the Fay he may be able to do a rehab in two days, but Dusty said only if he didnt have any swelling or pain after his 25 swings today. Obviously I think Encarnacion’s Rehab will be longer, maybe as long as a week or two, depending how his wrist reacts.
Finally Volquez will do some rehab at some point soon too, most likely a start in Dayton and a start with the Bats.

Bittersweet with EdE
When he comes back most likely he’ll be rusty and will take some time to get it going. Meanwhile Ryan Hanigan will get a really nice seat on the bench…most likely the one held by Paul Jannish..because some one will have to down to AAA and it appears that it won’t be Rosales – as much as I have actually enjoyed his goofiness etc, it is obvious that he should be sent down, therefore he’ll stay up and Jannish will go down.
Sweat plus sacrifice equals another useless out. Mads
i cant believe the Braves got Jurrjens and Gorkys Hernandez
for Edgar Renteria. you think we could get a package like that for Alex Gonzalez?

Great management:
I would have said Mauer has the talent of at least 4 or 5 of Gonzalez and Taveras. Great management has truly been coaxing the best out of these two.
He sits alone...Reds are not home.
yeah you have to question that kind of logic
you could fill a whole team with Gonzalezes and Taverases and they likely wouldnt win as many games as one Joe Mauer.

taveras getting a hit
removed the drama from the game- but whether Dusty lets Harang pitch after the rain delay is putting the excitement right back into GABP.
I say yes- as long as he only thows less than hundred pitches staying warm.
I need a W from Harang this week - he's a two start pitcher.
I had one in Pelfrey too, but he shit the mound after giving up just one hit through 4, then couldn’t find the strike zone and was pulled before making it through 6.

I agree, the hypothesizing can stop.
I thought it would stop when it was suggested and the only plausible response could be be “maybe.” I don’t think it’s anything more than that. It’s nothing that Joey’s done or said that makes anyone think he’s gay. It’s just a suggestion. And certainly not an “accusation,” if that’s what people are thinking.
And I wanted to try out my new toy

I just suggested that that might be the case. Saying that we “jumped” or “came” to the “conclusion” insinuates something else.

and in more unrelated news
tonight Stubbs goes 2-3 with a double, walk, and stolen base tonight, raising his yearly totals to .398 OBP, .835 OPS, and 24 steals.

Did both the Braves' and the Reds' broadcasts cancel their HD feeds after the delay
or was there no HD feed to begin with?
Blue Jays just took the lead in the 10th
with a guy scoring from second on a blooper.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I wonder if Herrera will go more than 2
I got to go down to the stadium and whip batteries at the players on both teams. - Philly Boy Roy

Only 27 pitches so far, and a bunch of lefties in the lineup
he should

Hanigan back at the back - and Mads back from the game!!!
Sweat plus sacrifice equals another useless out. Mads
Phillies bullpen completely imploding
They’ve given up five runs in the 10th, and still aren’t out of it. Ouch.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Take a lesson - Wily and Gonzo - BE Patient
DRH !!!!

If their strike zone
was 4 inches by 4 inches they’d probably walk more too

Herrera hitting
this reminds me of those old teams that used to have a 4 foot guy on the team who would only pinch hit when they needed a walk

Not a bad strategy
No worse than bringing in a pitcher to bunt

Eddie Gaedel - Gaedel gained immortality in the second game of a St. Louis Browns doubleheader on Sunday, August 19, 1951. Weighing 65 pounds (29.5 kg), and standing 3 feet 7 inches (1.09 m) tall, he became the shortest player in the history of the major
He appeared in 1 game and one at bat. His contract was voided by the Commissioner of MLB the next day.

I'm mad at you
You never pay a bill and walk. I love you for paying but you have to at least give me the chance to thank you, fucker. :)

I liked how he ran completely out of the way of the second baseman...
since that’s totally what I would do.

If Danny Ray hits a home run I will give up beer for a week.

So D#2 and I were down at the game with some of the RR faithful
(mostly persons of questionable character) only to sit around and drink while waiting for the rain to abate…looks like this is gonna be a long night for those who were able to stay at the park. My guess is that there is only about 40 fans left – 4 of them being RRs.

Heheheh, we stayed
And we saw a Reds win, while heckling Frenchy. You missed good times, my friend.

It was past D2's bedtime...hell Iwould have stayed but for my parental duties

Was it just me . . .
or did he not even realize he was struck out?

I just realized that this 1-2 is even worse than Hairston-Taveras
both well below .300 OBP. Heaven forbid someone actually be on base when the heart of the order comes up.

Wow... small ball works when guys get on base and and the hitters make contact...

In a rain-shortened completed game, can Harang still get the win?
I mean, likely it goes to Herrera anyway; but they could give it to Harang, right?
Call Slyde and ask him - Oh wait he still at the game..

it was discussed in Harang's last rain delay
its technically at the scorer’s discretion…but it pretty much doesnt’ happen.

I hadn't heard about Andrew WK in a while...
but this kind of blew my mind.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Oh man ...
AWK is the greatest. Seriously love the guy (despite being from Ann Arbor). Seen him five times in concert — small venues and big — and he brings the same intensity to every show. One of the truly great people in rock. The first time I saw him he was still signing autographs two hours after the show was over — the roadies broke down the merch tent and table around him and he sat there in his chair signing stuff on his knee.
I thought that this was just because the whole rock star thing was new … but he did the same thing following every show I saw him at.
Also, this show is the single coolest thing ever.

Who the hell comes up with that?

I don't know, but I wish I had.

I would like for the skies to open up now...
And rain until tomorrow. I would not mind saving the rest of the bullpen.

Massett not looking so good...
the announcers were talking about how Cox isn’t afraid to have a string of consecutive lefties. Unlike a manager we know…
