Chicago White Sox at Cincinnati Reds, Jun 21, 2009 1:10 PM EDT

With consecutive nights of double-digit hits, it appears that maybe the offense is starting to stir a little. Then again, last night was only the 3rd time in June they have scored more than 4 runs, so maybe not. It's good to see 3 hits from Willy Taveras and 2 hits from Jay Bruce and Brandon Phillips. Ryan Hanigan also had 2 hits, but is anybody seriously surprised by that at this point? Look for another similar lineup on the field today with another lefty pitching for the White Sox.
Not many of the current Reds have faced Mark Buehrle much. In fact, there isn't a single player on the Reds right now that was with the team the last time Buehrle faced them back in 2001. However, those that have have seen him with other teams have seen quite a bit of him. Ramon Hernandez has faced him 37 times, but may not be looking forward to today: .167/.189/.250. Neither is Jerry Hairston Jr., who has batted against him 23 times for a .211/.286/.368 line. Jonny Gomes is excited though: .400/.462/.600 in 10 PA. Buerhle is a tough lefty that will probably give the Reds fits today. I wouldn't be surprised if the improved offense is non-existent today.
Aaron Harang has an 11.2 inning scoreless streak going and all he has to show for it is a loss and 2 no decisions. In fact, Harang has not gotten the win in the 4 starts he's made since coming out after the 2 hour rain delay against Houston on May 25th. He was blasted in one of those starts, giving up 8 runs in 4.1 innings against Milwaukee, but the others have been good. He's coming off of a 2 inning stint in his last start because of a rain delay. That one was especially unfortunate because Harang looked as good in those 2 innings as he has looked all season, throwing 26 of his 33 pitches for strikes and hitting 94 on the radar. Hopefully that zip will be there today and he can shutdown the White Sox attack. Unfortunately he faces another tough foe on the mound, so getting a win could be a stretch once again.
In other news, Edwin Encarnacion has been sent to Louisville for a rehab stint. He's eligible to come off of the DL on Saturday, though I imagine we won't see him until after the road trip on the 30th. The same probably holds true for Joey Votto as well.

I fear it is going to be another tough day for Rosie
He appears overmatched by the hard throwers and confused by the finesse pitchers like Mark Buehrle. I am not certain that Jannish would fare much better but at least he’d be an upgrade defensively.
Mark Buehrle may a good match for Wily taveris and Hairston too, but Jay and BP are going to have to focus – NO home run swings on the first 2 pitches.
Well back to work…Good luck to Aaron Harang… and HFD to all.

There’s no track record you have to stay loyal to with Rosales or Hernandez — maybe there’s no better option that Hernandez, but this is one of the least creative franchises in the majors.

I agree with the anger,
but I think that there’s a whole lot of really uncreative teams out there. The only teams I can think of off the top of my head that really move players around are Saint Louis and Atlanta. Maybe the Angels, too, I don’t pay too much attention to the AL. I’d blame the issue more on a lack of depth in the upper minors for the Reds

though it requires to little imagination to ship out Rosales – or I would venture to consider moving BP in order to increase your flexibility.

Two more sacrifice flies and we can get extra innings of this wonderful game!

my tv is oddly cropped
what’s the score? 3-1?

Fucking hell.
Needless to say, this didn't work and everybody died.

That's our MVP grounding into an inning-ending double play

He hit it smack on the nose though
Just bad luck that Ramirez was right there.

I don't think there's any question Hanigan has earned the starting C spot
I got to go down to the stadium and whip batteries at the players on both teams. - Philly Boy Roy

We could be looking at another game-ending Rosales AB
in the bottom of the 9th

Here's creative thinking that'll make RijoSaboCasey proud:
Let’s hire fabulously corrupt folks who unabashedly want to line their pockets to protect state secrets! There’s no way this can end up badly!

Unsurprise'd
Just have to reach a certain level of executive/political success and you’re entrenched. There’s always a golden parachute, exorbitant bonus or think tank job to break your fall.

Helling damnit
I knew was a bad idea to run Masset out there again and he’s left in for a second inning… we’re still carrying 8 relievers

This could very well be the point where the season gets ugly
Are best pitchers who’ve kept us in competitive are showing signs of fatigue while the offense is still craptacular

Three runs off Bobby Jenks
Totally plausible!

Three outs?
Yeah, that’ll probably the be the result.

God forbid Adu gets some run when USA needs a goal.
by Cy Schourek on Jun 21, 2009 3:58 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
2-0! Bradley!
If the US scores one more, they’re into the next round!

umm, you need to play some catchup...

Some of us don't have cable
And the ESPN play by play runs about ten minutes slow.
DEMPSEY!

gotcha.
Spector’s cross in was uncharacteristically gorgeous.

for what its worth,
this game reminds me of the 2002 “I can’t believe we get in after losing to Poland” that worked out alright.

Holy hell

Yuck
OK, I’ve gotta take a break from this bullshit. I’m pretty sick of watching Taveras, Rosales and poor management of good pitching.
Batting Hanigan (.411 OBP) in front of Rosales and the pitcher’s spot is the new Taveras-Gonzalez. One glaring problem gets half-fixed and complemented with another. Spare parts assembled with all the elegance of a Caveman.
Can’t wait until Hanigan gets shelved, Dickerson languishes on the bench and Rosales plays until EdE’s post All Star Break return.
WEAK!
