PrintCincinnati Reds at Toronto Blue Jays, Jun 23, 2009 7:07 PM EDT

|
Joey Votto returns to the lineup for the first time this month, and this Reds fan couldn't be happier. Votto returns home tonight to play in front of his 3 brothers and eat some home cooking. He didn't fare so well in the Reds trip to Toronto last season, going just 1 for 11 with 2 walks and 5 strikeouts as the Blue Jays took 2 out of 3 from the Reds. He has had success at the Rogers Centre this season though. During the WBC, Votto put up a .556/.600/1.111 line in Canada's two losses. That was about the time that Votto decided to make it known that he was going to do something special this season. Hopefully he can pick up where he left off at the end of May.
The Reds get to face a couple of old foes this series. Lyle Overbay is perhaps this biggest Reds killer this side of Lance Berkman, posting a .420/.491/.707 career line in 40 games against the Reds. Those numbers are only slightly higher than his .281/.364/.452 career batting line. Over on the other side of the diamond is Scott Rolen and his .303/.402/.591 career line against the Reds. Both players are guys that we all grew plenty tired of beating us back when they were in the NL. I'd like to see the Reds avoid such shenanigans during this series.
Another name to look out for is 25-year old Adam Lind, who is having the breakout season that Blue Jays fans have been hoping for since he came to the big leagues 4 years ago. Overall the Blue Jays have an excellent offense, averaging just over 5 runs a game. Their leading HR hitter is 2B Aaron Hill with 15, but they only have 2 regular starters with an OBP under .330. Reds pitchers are going to have their work cut out for them this series.
As for the Reds hitters? Well, they'll be facing the fourth stingiest pitching staff in the AL. Hey, you don't get to be 5 games over in the AL East playing with a crappy roster.

Great to see Joey in the lineup
But terrible to see Taveras, Hairston 2nd, and Rosales in, and Hanigan out.
Stupid Dusty….oh well, Joey’s back, hooray!
Isn't there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?
Hairston 2nd isn't nearly as bad as it seems vs. LHP

but this article is full of incredible names from the past 15 years of being a Reds fan, and reminds you that as much as it may suck to be a Reds fan, its WAY worse to be a Pirates fan.
Nate McLouth
He’s cut off his flowing blond surfer locks.
Do the Braves require short hair?
Maybe that’s why he cried when he heard he was traded…

The Reds will tie this up
and Aaron Harang will beat the living shit out of every one of his teammates.
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
If he hasn't done that at least once already, well, he's an idiot.
"Sir, can you please put your pants back on?"
Maybe it's Just Me,
But Harang always struck me as the kind of guy who knows how to make bodies disappear.
Can you imagine him doing the windmill at full speed, barreling through the clubhouse?
No one would be safe.

So glad Dusty left Micah in to get that last out.
could be tied right now. :/

He could have qualified for the full inning.
In the Book According to Dusty, partial innings by starters are unacceptable.

that was nice
just checking in with my useless stat of the night…
Adam Rosales has a lower OPS in June (.263) than 7 of the 9 Blue Jays starters have Batting Averages!!! wow!!!
But, he can hit with RISP (unlike Hanigan)

you know what's funny
base runners are 0 for 3 on steal third on Ryan Hanigan this season.

Willy Taveras is hardly a leadoff hitter
But Hanigan probably would have been a better choice

I hate so much about how Rosales and Taveras are on our baseball team
Rosales: .198/.288/.278
Taveras: .220/.269/.273
Patterson (YTD June 25 ’08): .191/.224/.344
I got to go down to the stadium and whip batteries at the players on both teams. - Philly Boy Roy

So what's worse?
Having one player in the starting lineup as bad as Patterson, or having two almost as bad?
Give me this guy anyday.
"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
With C-Pat's defense, SLG% and chance of hitting a homerun every 3 weeks or so
I’m prepared to say Rosales and Taveras are just as good at sucking

They are all bad as hell
and being bad persistently without respite makes them worse.
Players like playing for Dusty because as long as you have some facile label such as “veteran” or “speedster” you can be as bad as fuck and it doesn’t matter! it’s like playing for their grandmother. Listen up, Dustbitch, you are a beautiful human being probably but here’s the motherfucking ass line up for tomorrow:
Dickerson CF
Hanigan C
Votto 1B
Phillips 2B
Bruce RF
Gomes DH
Nix LF
Hairston 3B
Richar SS
If I see Rosales or Taveras in that lineup when I check Fya’s site for the fourteenth time I’m going to write a stern-ass letter like you won’t believe
