Twenty-five-year old Matt Maloney isn't the prospect that 22-year old Tommy Hanson is. Few pitchers are. But this is still a very interesting match up of two young pitchers who were having outstanding seasons in Triple-A this year. Hanson is perhaps the top pitching prospect in all of baseball. He struck out an incredible 35% of the batters he faced in the minors this year (12.3 K/9), while maintaining some very good control. That control has slipped a bit in the Majors, as Hanson walked 5 in his last start against the Orioles. He's still striking batters out though, taking down 10 in his 11.2 innings pitched so far. He's also managed to get his first big league win under his belt, something that has eluded Maloney to this point.
That's not really Maloney's fault though. In his first start, David Weathers blew a 3-2 lead in the 8th inning to take the win away from Maloney. In his second start, the offense could only muster 1run on 3 hits against Luke Hochevar. Such is the life when you pitch for the Reds in 2009.
The Reds are going for the series sweep this afternoon, a welcome change after the craptastic performance in Kansas City. As is the theme for this season, there is rain in the area. As of 10am, it looks like this game may not kick off on time:
Since this is the last time the Braves are in town, they most certainly will do what they can to get this game in. It just might be a while until we get there.

but it’s moving SE, so I don’t think it will hit here. I think we’re just going to get lots of heavy rain, which is great because my yard is being dug up today to deal with drainage issues. That’s probably not going to screw anything up.

No, that was Harry Caray.

Of course we still have Taveras and Gonzalez 1-2...
Since they’re contributing directly to the recent wins, and it’s not like we have anyone else who could play either CF or SS.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I would expect Dusty to keep hitting Taveras 1 since he's so fast and all
but when he moved Gonzo up to 2 he said it was because he’d been hitting well lately. (I think he’d had a decent 5 game stretch previously)
Now that Gonzo is back to his sucktastic self, why is he still hitting 2? He’s the anti #2 hitter. Strikes out a ton, doesn’t walk ever, doesn’t see many pitches, and isn’t fast. This kind of crap makes me way more angsty than it should.
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
Jesus, man. What's wrong with you?
Of course he’s hitting second. He’s the shortstop!
Let me write out a formal proof for you.

Good to see Rosie getting a start, he's earned way more playing time than he's been given
Not like that douchebag Janish, who plays way too much.
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
what did Dickerson do to Dusty
I thought he looked pretty damn good in the St. Louis series.
But I guess when you have a talent like Willie Taveras he has to be in the lineup.
In all seriousness
I think Dusty comes from the school that you let veterans play their way out of slumps. It seems like when guys are playing well they get rested more than when they are slumping. He seems to have some sort of idea that if you give them enough playing time eventually they’ll turn it around.
Unfortunately that ignores the fact that Hernandez, Taveras, and Gonzo are doing exactly what the back of their baseball card suggests they should do.
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
ah, quickerson
i think he slept with dusty’s daughter then never called her
Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand
It worked...
to get Patterson playing time last year
I once defended the managerial styles of Jerry Narron after a Reds loss in a bar after a long night of drinking. I wish I could say that I don't remember doing that.
Even if you allow for that line of thinking
It’s still nutso to ignore the RHP on the mound and hit Taveras 1st.
Is it considered a foregone conclusion by the coaching staff that players can’t be instructed out of their slumps while getting more frequent rest when matchups dictate? They have video assisted batting cages and all manner of state of the art tech.
There’s a total disconnect between the line-up-card-filler-outer and some of Jocketty’s staff that actually seem to be on the ball from a scouting standpoint.

That is true
except Walt did sign Taveras.
I sometimes think though that Walt doesn’t really want Dusty as manager. He wasn’t his hire and I wonder if he’s just waiting until the time when he can get rid of him.
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
Taveras is much more the fault of Walt
though I expect Dusty supported the signing. I do think Dusty understands the psyche of players and how to manage people far more than I ever will. He just oftentimes seems to think social engineering is mutually exclusive from statistical analysis. If you want your CF and leadoff man to get back in the right headspace, put him in a position where he is most likely to succeed. If I were Dickerson and Janish, I’d be very confounded and more than a little pissed. If he’s stoking Taveras’ fragile ego at the expense of other more productive, but lower-paid players he’s doing so to the detriment of the team as a whole.

At least Dusty made one improvement to the standard Bizarro lineup
I think almost every player is still in the wrong place.
It’s so fucking egregious that Taveras starts today. Go ahead and start him 80% of the time if he’s “the centerfielder” but for God’s sakes: he’s 1 his last 235, it’s a day game after a night game, we’re facing a righty and wet conditions are a minefield for hamstring injuries. If after considering all that you still stick him at the top of your lineup you are a madman.

This quote is both a ray of hope and a crock of shit
“Hopefully the people stick with him a little longer,” Baker said. “The razzing and stuff doesn’t help at all. I can understand it but it doesn’t help. It actually makes its worse.”
I’m sure Taveras sucks because fans have been on his case. Actually, Dusty, the razzing has been on you for playing him, dumbass.

Hernandez is hitting just over .100 for the month
I’m glad to see him get a rest – he was great for a few weeks in May, but I’d much rather see Hanigan in there.

Fya has an update on Votto
On Votto: He’ll play six innings at first base tonight for Florida State League Reds. Sarasota then goes into the FSL All-Star break. But the Reds have a mini-camp going on. Votto can get at-bats in those intrasquad games. He can lead off every inning, in fact. He’ll probably stay at Sarasota for a couple of days, then go somewhere else — Louisville or Carolina.
I was talking to Jeff Brantley. He said the biggest thing for Votto will be getting used to playing on spikes on the hard ground. “That will wear you out,” Brantely said.
By the way, Brantley is predicting Votto will play next week in his hometown of Toronto. I think Cleveland is more likely. But you’d think he’d play in one those two series. He can DH after all.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Well, that makes sense now
I was worried he was going to play one game and them sit around for the weekend.
That’s a good point from teh fya about the DH. That’d be a perfect way to get him back in, and it would keep Hanigan in the lineup.
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
Rain delays vs. cancellations
Anyone have any idea on the calculus involved for making the decision to call off a game? At any point does the best interests of the team on the field (i.e. a team that may need the extra rest) enter into the equation vs. the operating costs of one additional day of having the stadium open?
It seems to me the Reds would be very well served by postponing as many of these short-handed games as possible.
No,
Because then you end up with a ton of day/night doubleheaders which really kill a team’s energy.

don’t worry about who is the best player or the fact that everybody is very happy with the way things have been handled by Hanigan. Hernandez is older and his experience is more important.
And I’m not saying that Hernandez’s experience isn’t relevant, just that with the way this team is hitting, how can you consider putting Hanigan’s bat on the bench while he’s hitting?

I think having a lefty squeeze bunt
is about the best we can hope for with the remaining two outs.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
That's the best plate appearance from Rosie in a month.
Now we have the pitcher and the guy that hits worse than the pitcher and then the other guy that hits worse than the pitcher coming up.
And we're guaranteed to see a worse AB from Willy
than we just saw from the pitcher.

Don't worry, Taveras will get the job done with a 2 out hit with RISP

So, I like this Maloney kid,
I like the way he pitches, he deserved a shot, but he’s a major fly ball pitcher and obviously prone to the HR. I’m wondering if they should give Bailey a few more starts before Volquez comes back, given the way he’s pitched lately.
On the other hand, maybe it’s better to just wait and the next time he comes up will be for good. I just don’t see Maloney being really successful long term if he’s going to keep giving up so many homers.
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
true
but there are other HR prone parks out there, and you can’t have a guy in your rotation who’s only going to be good on the road.

Well now lets see...
we have 2 hits and no runs…Taveris, Gonzo and Nix all 0 – 3..at least nix can hit it out if he gets a hold of it. But 7 runs is an almost insurmountable lead for this line up to overcome.
I guess it is too late to hope for rain.

It’s called the AAU.
The Big Ten is the only conference to have all its members included in it. That’s why, if the BIG TEleveN ever expanded to 12 schools, it’s possible list is very short. ND (while not an AAU school) would be let in based on academic merit but the only other schools (geographically) that are in the AAU would be Pitt, Iowa St., Mizzou or Pitt. Some have argued Rutgers, but I don’t think the other institutions would let Jersey join.

No, it's just that their coaches
aren’t all 50+ year-old-men who are unwilling to look outside the box. Imagine what Ginn could have done running the Buckeye Pistol that Pryor runs? Dude was quicker than shit, OSU just struggled to get the ball to him in the open field and didn’t run an offense that suited his play-making abilities. The kick return to open the 2006 MNC showcased that. Of course, then, one of our worthless OLs jumped on him and took him out of the game.
Jim Bollman may be the most hated man in Ohio for good reason. Only within the last year has he started to learn how to spread the field on offense. True, during Oct. and Nov. games in the North you have/need to run Woody ball. But early in the season and in bowl games? OPEN THAT SHIT UP!!!!

Taveras suddenly comes down with some of his own “stress-related issues” (probably from playing so shitty) and goes on the DL. Bring up Stubbs. Play Dickerson and Stubbs in CF.
Give Gonzo some time off and play Janish – if you can get Dusty to remember who he is.

Reds ownership laughing at all of us.
I can’ t believe the audacity of this front office and the duplicity of Dusty “he’s our MVP” Baker. First and foremost…..whoever is responsible for Willie Taveras leading off, you fire yourself and show some respect for the game of baseball. Now whoever is responsible for Taveras still leading off as of today….KILL YOURSELF you infidel, you are probably some Cubs swine that has infiltrated our front office. Moving on, someone buy Dusty a one way flight anywhere and tell him that he can fax in the lineups he likes, of course this fax is one of those that is always disconnected. Now hire a coach that plays the best players and scares the shit out of everyone and everything….these players should always fear that they can and will lose their jobs should they fail to hit or pitch. Now, with the new coach in there, somebody tell A-Gonz that Dusty asked for him and get him out of the number two hole. There is no way a major league baseball team should have such a crappy hitter in the number two hole. He has never been a good hitter, he was never all that speedy and he has no range in the field, but the message sent to the fans is, well guys we went out and spent some money on this guy and we know he sucks but we have to play him, look at all the money we gave him. In poker, when you figure out you have been beat you never throw more money in the pot and say what the hell, I know I am beat but I already put a bunch of money in there so I will put more in there and pray like hell that I win. Hello Assholes in the front office…..this is what you are doing to all your fans and I for one would like to send you a big fat FU right back. We were somehow 3 .5 games out after we have put on pathetic hitting display after hitting display. WE NEED SOME LEFT FIELD HITTING. Quit wasting time and fans by looking like an ownership group that is pumping PR through Dusty, and get off your asses and make some changes so we can win just like you PROMISED. When Dusty comes out and starts spitting the company line to take the heat off Walt for his inability to make a trade or any move to get the right bats in the lineup, that is the last straw. IF the Reds make no moves and let this season just slide by….I will not buy a ticket until this ownership group is gone because lets face it Bob…..your product sucks right now. Please prove me wrong, make the trades, fire Dusty, show me you want to win, make the playoffs…..and I will once again start buying tickets. Until then you are showing me that you don’t care about winning at all……that is what anyone should think with Taveras and Gonzalez leading off with a sprinkle of washed up Hariston Jr. thrown in there for a sprinkle of SUCK.

If it works for Dontrelle, why don’t you let Hariston, Gonzalez, and Taveras read my email and then put their sorry asses on the DL for lack of talent. They give me anxiety and I can’t watch anymore.
