Javier Vazquez vs Micah Owings

Partly cloudy,rain. Game time temperature around 80.

 

Complete Coverage >



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Javier Vazquez 4-5 3.31 1.03 105 16



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Micah Owings 3-7 4.64 1.55 45 34


I was a bit down and pessimistic in yesterday's game thread, so today I will try to be a bit more upbeat.  The best way to do that is to talk about the pitching:

  • So far in June, the Reds pitching staff has a 3.05 ERA.  The starters have a 3.09 ERA and the bullpen has a 2.98 ERA.
  • The pitching staff has surrendered more than 3 runs just 5 times in 14 June games.  Not surprisingly, they've lost all 5 games.
  • Tonight's starter, Micah Owings, has not pitched too many innings, but he hasn't given up many runs either in 2 June starters.  His ERA this month is a paltry 2.38.  He's struck out 10 batters in 11.1 innings, but he's also walked 7 and given up 9 hits.  He's been living dangerously, that's for sure.
  • The bullpen has a 3.39 ERA this season.  That's good for 3rd best in the NL. 
  • As a team, the Reds have 4 blown saves this season.  No one else in the NL has less than 6.
  • The starters have the fewest no-decisions in the NL, which is a credit to the bullpen and the offense for not doing much to change the outcome once the starting pitcher leaves the game.
  • The staff's ERA+ of 116 trails only the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL.

It's strange for the pitching staff to be the main positive about this team, but I kind of like it.

I know it's starting to get popular to be down on Owings, but I want to remind everyone that last season our #5 starters gave up over 8 runs per 9 innings pitched.  He doesn't need to be the ace of the staff.  He just needs to keep the team in the ballgame.  He's done that in more than half of his starts this season.  Sure, it'd be nice to have him go deeper into games too, but let's just worry about one thing at a time.  The good news is that he's 3-0 with a 2.70 ERA in 20 IP against the Braves over 3 career starts.  He seems to like to face them.  Hopefully it will continue.

Unfortunately, Javier Vazquez looked more than comfortable against the Reds back in April when he struck out 9 and allowed just 2 runs over 6 innings of the Braves win.  It'd be nice if the Reds can get to him tonight and give Owings a little run support as he's only seen 5 runs on his side of the board over his last 3 starts.

As there always is this Spring, rain is in the area again tonight, though it's sunny right now.  Hopefully no delays in this one because I need some sleep!

Continues to amaze me that the (present) hitter with the best OBP continues to bat 8th.
Equally amazing is how dusty can’t help himself..he just has to have CF in the leadoff and the SS in the 2 slot.

Hope that Jay continues to hone his approach to hitting and that Gonzo kicks my ass again 2nite, GO REDS

Not terrible for this team this year

But if you look at major league standards we have guys hitting significantly below average at at least 4 (5 if you count Bruce) of the field positions. That ain’t gonna get it done for very long.

And not to be Debbie Downer on the great news that Joey’s coming back soon, but if Ramon replaces Hanigan as a result (which he definitely will), the offensive gains we’re going to get aren’t going to be all that much.

over at Fay's blog

They were talking about Mesoraco, and whether he’s a bust. They said Hanigan, an undrafted free agent, hit better at every level than Mesoraco has.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

by BubbaFan on Jun 17, 2009 6:48 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm not so sure yet

Mesoraco’s starting to turn a corner in A+ ball, and while he may not ever hit for the average Hanigan does, he’ll hit with a lot more power. Mesoraco is actually an FSL All-Star this year, after Zach Stewart and Yonder Alonso couldn’t because they got moved up to AA.

Useless broadcasting stats

You’ll hear a lot of them from George Grande tonight, such as career stats versus a specific team – This is the dumbest, because these are often small sample sizes over a few years, and often against players who are no longer with the mentioned team. Tonight we’ll hear how well Javier Vasquez has done in his career against the Reds, holding them to a .628 OPS. What we won’t hear is that coming into this season, no active Reds player had ever faced him. Of tonight’s starting 8, none has more than 5 PA’s versus Vasquez since 2005.

The other one that kills me are a player’s career stats. Are they relevant? Yes, sometimes very much so. Are they relevant to the viewer at home when you don’t list the correspoding number of games played, games sstarted, PA’s nor AB’s? Nope. Laynce Nix has 36 HR’s for his career. Is that good? Is that bad? Without any reference, you have no way to know.

For the record, Laynce has a career .240 BA with 36 HR’s and 139 RBI. Good? Well, 36 HR’s out of 243 hits is good. 36 HR’s over 324 career games is not as good.

If there is not a good stat to reference, give us context. Anything less makes the broadcasting team look like dopes.

Is there a cool stat for Laynce Nix to share? Damn straight, there is. And I’ll bet we won’t hear it tonight:

Nix has 14 doubles already, putting him on pace for 39 for the season, which is pretty studly (to go with a projected 19 HR’s). But Nix was on pinch-hitting duty for the first month of the season. If you just look at his 35 starts, the numbers are even more impressive:
.263 BA, .339 OBP, .678 SLG, 1.017 OPS, with a full-season of 162 starts yielding 51 doubles, 4 triples, and 28 homers and 83 RBI. For your reference, .the NL average is .257/.332/.404/.736.

That’s information that is helpful, perhaps even hopeful. And it’s far more telling than anything you’ll hear tonight.

Last night, CFer Elijah Dukes lost the game for the Nats by screwing up two catches that he should have made. He’s not much of a hitter, either, and I wondered aloud why they didn’t have anyone better.

Well, someone else is starting in CF tonight for the Nats. Corey Patterson.

At least he’s batting sixth, not leadoff.

not only that

It was Sabathia on the mound. The only Yankees starting pitching who’s pitching well these days.

He gave up a three-run homer to a guy who hadn’t hit one in three years. In fact, that hit doubled his career home run total.

I think it's possible

I wasn’t sure, but Godzilla got pretty close, so I think Dunn could probably do it.

He just flew out to Nick Swisher, though.

Probably not a good sign. Fly balls off Wang usually mean trouble.

And C-Pat gets to first base on a strikeout that got past Posada.

hey, he's a sinkerballer

The groundball out is his bread and butter. When he’s on, the outfielders can put up their feet and take a nap.

He did end up with 10-2 groundout-flyout ratio, though his sinker wasn’t that sharp.

Corey Patterson actually got on base twice. No at-bat lasted longer than three pitches. Strikeout on three pitches that got past Posada, single on the first pitch, then two 3-pitch strikeouts. Good ol’ C-Pat. YES announcers spent some time wondering why this stud prospect never worked out.

Not really,

he’s been walking plenty, has a bunch of doubles, his line drive rate is high and his BABIP is a silly low .239 in only 59 PAs, so it’s a small sample size to boot.

From a walk. The Braves started off with 2 hits and Owings was willing to give up the opposite field. You take it, instead they pull into double plays.

This is what I mean by giving up baserunners by the pound. This will catch up to a pitching staff.

The Reds usually have to grunt and spit to get any baserunners at all.

Just seems like with you every time a Reds pitcher gets into trouble, they’re terrible (and sometimes, rightly so), but when a Reds pitcher puts up zeroes, it’s the other team’s failure to score. Give the man some credit where it’s due. I suppose Micah’s HR was a result of Vazquez being terrible, right?

I think Micah's biggest problem as a pitcher

other than his sometimes shaky control, is his lack of an out pitch.

He seems to constantly get guys to two strikes and not be able to put them away, they foul off a ton of pitches and either walk or put it in play. That runs up his pitch count really quick.

Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?

by nycredsfan on Jun 17, 2009 8:59 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

kinda agree

he’s not a strikeout pitcher but he has movement. he’ll have his on and off days, a la Bronson.

all in all he’s a contributing ballplayer on a winning team.

it just seems to me that he’s close to being a #3-#4 starter, he just needs to be able to put guys away, otherwise he’s always going to be living dangerously.

Arroyo has a good curve. Owings basically is forced to try and get hitters to pull the ball. Just like against the Nats, bad hitting costs runs. Go the opposite field. Easy single.

He did earn it actually

He’s had some unbelievably unlucky outings this year with a bunch of seeing eye and bloop singles. Tonight he mostly threw strikes, made them put it in play, and was rewarded with a lot of outs. He also got out of two jams, one of which had nothing to do with him but was down to bad defense.

actually it was this morning

weird 11.45 am start time

Apparently he’s been throwing a splitter and his fastball velocity is way up. In addition to getting a bunch of Ks something like 70% of his in play outs are groundouts. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

Bailey isn't any better than Owings or Maloney

Even though he should be. Bailey was sitting in the 94-96mph ranges today. Both of the guys I mentioned above would sell their soul to the devil for his arm. Since they re-raised his arm slot back to 2006 levels, he has thrown with alot of pop.

But Bailey doesn’t understand how to pitch at all. He doesn’t know how to mentally bother hitters. Look at Owings today. He completely freaked the Braves out though his stuff was not very good.

Bailey can’t do that, and never will.

it limits who can access your information as well as forcing the IT systems to have certain security measures in place to prevent unwanted viewing of your information.

The big thing is that it prevents insurance companies and doctors from sharing information that you don’t want to get out, especially to prospective employers or loan officers, for instance.

The issue with HIPPA is that it's a law that a lot of people abuse incorrectly.

If a media outlet wants to get the info they can get it. It just takes a lot of red tape bullshit. With an undiagnosed mental heath issue, though, well, there usually aren’t records unless someone’s placed in a center.

I think I would know Nora's fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women.

Is there a bet riding on it?

If not, call bullshit no matter what. Although, I did see video of a guy jumping out of like 4 feet of water in a swimming pool the other day, so anything’s possible.
