W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Bronson Arroyo 8-5 5.16 1.39 48 32



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Scott Richmond 5-4 3.79 1.22 61 23


One year ago today, Bronson Arroyo pitched in Toronto.  Actually, that's a bit misleading.  A year ago, Bronson Arroyo was on the mound for the Reds for 1+ innings against the Blue Jays, but you could hardly call what he was doing pitching.  He was basically throwing the Blue Jays extended batting practice.  In that game, Arroyo gave up 10 runs on 11 hits, including 3 home runs on just 52 pitches.  His performance that day gave him a game score of -9. 

Thankfully, Arroyo is mentally prepared for tonight:

"Well," said Arroyo, "It can’t get any worse. Can it?"

That's right, Bronson, you got nowhere to go but up!

Scott Richmond's season has been predictably good, at least for the last month.  Why, you ask?  Well, I had him on my fantasy baseball roster in a pinch in early May.  After watching him suck for a couple of starts, I dropped him just to watch him surrender only 8 runs and strike out 25 batters in his last 24.2 innings pitched.  Sigh, baseball hasn't been very good to me this year.

The good news about tonight is that Dusty is finally trying something a little different.  Tonight Chris Dickerson and Danny Richar are starting in place of Willy Taveras and Adam Rosales.  Okay, so it's not a major upgrade, but it's progress.  Then again Jerry Hairston Jr. (.203/.279/.203 in June) and Ramon Hernandez (.132/.253/.235) are still starting, but you can't have everything, can you, Paul Janish?

I was already upset with the way this team in managed

But games like this where the SP gives up 5 runs and then is still allowed to pitch for 3 more innings, and our batters go out there and still swing at the first pitch since our “hitting coach” is so awesome, really make me start to HATE this team.

I love the Reds… but I am completely fed up with this stuff.

Disturbing stat concerning Bronson, via the Associated Press
He walked three and stuck out two and fell to 2-5 with a 6.82 ERA in nine career games against Toronto.

So, anyone thinking about trading this guy should probably stop considering AL East squads.

There are plenty of GMs who would love to have Bronson if the price was right.

Lets see what Bailey does is his next start, Voltron is is still out for a while and Micah isn’t keeping the opposition off the scoreboard much either and Harang is getting no run support. Under these circumstances Bronson becomes more acceptable. Unless you want to throw in the towel for 2009 and work towards 2010…which ain’t gonna happen the way things are dragging along.

The sad part is seeing Hanigan on the bench, BP still batting 4th and Richar getting the start while Jannis rots…Dusty’s approach is not working and it can’t – this is my mantra.

But if he's tipping his pitches

Why do the Jays know about it, when nobody else does?

I guess he must have played against the Jays a lot when he was with Boston, but he was only in Boston for three years. If the Jays figured it out in that time, why haven’t the NL Central teams figured it out, too? He was three years with Pittsburgh and this is his fourth year with Cincinnati.

And the way the players are shuffled by trading and free agency…if the Jays know anything, you’d think everyone would know it by now.
