Game 72 Thread: Reds at Indians

Next Game

Progressive Field

Aaron Harang vs Jeremy Sowers

Clear. Game time temperature around 80.

 

Complete Coverage >



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Aaron Harang 5-7 3.66 1.34 77 20



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Jeremy Sowers 1-5 5.95 1.63 18 21


It's a something's-got-to-give game.  Former Reds draft pick Jeremy Sowers has made 4 starts against the Reds and surrendered 8.55 runs per 9 IP.  Current Reds ace Aaron Harang has received just 3.57 R/G of run support (note: I don't count the game where he only pitched 2 innings because of a rain delay and then the Reds scored 7 runs).  Both of these facts can't hold to their pattern tonight.  What is stronger, the irresistible force or the unsupportable ace?

For being a pitcher who was drafted in the first round twice, Sowers has not been very good in the big leagues.  Over 4 partial seasons in the Majors, Sowers is just 13-24 with a 5.24 ERA and 140 strikeouts compared to 101 walks in 316 IP.  And this season, he's actually walked more batters than he's struck out.  That's not a recipe for success.  Sometimes I'm thankful that he didn't sign in 2001.

I think it's safe to say at this point that Harang is not feeling any ill-effects of his questionable return after a 2-hour rain delay on May 25th.  Oh sure, he stunk on May 30th, but since then, he's gone 24.2 innings and allowed just 6 earned runs (2.19 ERA).  In fact, he's given up more than 3 runs in just 4 starts this year.  I'd say that's keeping the team in the ballgame.  Of course, the Reds are just 7-8 in his starts, so he must not be a very good pitcher after all.

As much crap as we've given Willy Taveras lately - crap he's truly deserved - if he can put a string of games together like he had last night, his recent abysmal play will quickly become a distant memory.  Unlike Corey Patterson last year, who I wanted out of the lineup so that Jay Bruce could play, I don't want Taveras to fail.  This is mainly because I don't think there is any chance the Reds aren't going to keep Taveras around for 2010, and if that's the case, then I'd much rather he were successful than sucking, even if he's on the bench.  So, I guess what I'm trying to say is, go Willy!  When you do well, the Reds have a better chance of winning.  And when you fail, well, the eggs will go back up on the sidebar.

Brutal matchup Tuesday when we get home, Arroyo vs. Dan Haren. yikes.

The key is can we do some damage against the Indians bullpen? The Tribe and Nats bullpens have been HORRID this season, but both shut down the Reds. Can they take advantage this time?

If A-Gon were available, he’d be starting, not Janish.

Janish is getting more playing time because Rosales has lost favor. Rosy is not a veteran, so apparently has a shorter leash.

by BubbaFan on Jun 26, 2009 5:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

I actually appreciate that Dusty doesn't play the "hot hand"

but unfortunately, all bets are off in the case of declining veterans vs. rookies. There’s no reason to believe A-Gon and Hernandez can play like they did 2-3 seasons a go while Janish and Hanigan have potential that’s being stifled.

If Janish mashes up until Encarnacion gets back, he’s still going to be benched in favor of Hairston. Then you’ll have two guys who are definite defensive improvements and one of which is a clear offensive upgrade riding the pine. All I can hope for is that Taveras, Hairston and Hernandez all show their gratitude to Dusty’s largess and play above expectations.

Not sure.

It wasn’t PPV, so they replayed it a few times last weekend. It was a good fight despite Clottey’s best efforts. Cotto scored a flash knockdown in the first, then got cut really bad on an accidental headbutt in the 3rd. He couldn’t see Clottey’s right hand for the rest of the fight. They traded rounds after the cut until Clottey started taking over in the 7th. Then, in the 10th, Clottey just stopped throwing. Cotto won at least 2 of the last 3 rounds to win the fight. Clottey got knocked down in the 1st, took 3 rounds off at the end, and bitched that he was “robbed.” It was a close fight, but Cotto won legit. Cotto Pacquiao is close to being made for Nov. 14th. That will be a phenomenal fight.

One run came in on the error but another was scored after. The throw would have been the third out.

So two earned runs directly attached to the error.

Phillips was taken out

in a defensive switch. Rosales to 3B, Hairston to 2B, Hanigan to C.

He might’ve tweaked something when he stumbled going around second base, but George and Chris seemed unconcerned.
