Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Jeremy "Whiskey" Sowers. The committed Vanderbilt man gave up two runs over seven innings, while the Reds' offense put the "commode" in "commodore."
Key Plays
- The Indians scored a bunch in the middle innings. Harang wasn't particularly sharp, and the Tribe hit a bunch of homers off of him. There was a Brandon Phillips error in there somewhere too, and the Indians score more runs after that.
- Jonny Gomes and Willy Taveras drove in runs. That's two games in a row that's happened.
Just the link to the FanGraph today. Although if you go there, it's interesting to note that the game was decided by the sixth inning, and even when the Reds scored two runs after that, it made no dent in their probability of winning the game.
Other Notes
- I'm gonna be honest. This game was blowful, so I drifted out pretty early on and watched a lot of episodes of Season 2 of How I Met Your Mother. Marshall and Lily are a lot better characters when they're together than when they were apart.

I have no idea what this means, but I think it is in the ballpark of how I feel about this game

Oh, god.....you've not seen the best
On a trip to Nashville I ran into Simon Pegg’s twin bartending. Wearing an XKCD shirt no less. The pic sucks, but you get the idea.

Homer Bailey tends bar at Lucky's in Columbus. Ask Ash about it.
Dude is Homer’s doppelgänger. He’s also a massive asshole (the bartender that is).

Best Pegg/Frost movie?
My vote is for Hot Fuzz. Run Fat Boy Run was three kinds of awful, though.

I really like Hot Fuzz though. And yes, you’re right — Run Fatboy Run was not very good.

Who let the dogs out?
Ugh.
The Fayplacement says BP and Ramon were removed just to give them some rest in a game that was hopeless.
And Harang again hinted that the lack of run support is getting to him.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Harang should get Bernie Stowe to put golf club head covers on every single bat the morning of his next start

Lack of run support?
The way Harang pitched, we would need life support!!!
I know two runs doesn’t win ball games, but seriously, what does he expect when he serves up cheese like that.
Thanks for the update
I was beginning to think BP was taken out as some kind of punishment for something. I just couldn’t think of any other reason for putting in Rosales instead.
Sorry for the spamming, but I shouldnt have blasted Harang
I read the rest of his comments and I suppose he just meant the lack of urn support, in general, is giving him difficulty with pitching in general. That makes sense. I shouldn’t be posting lso ate and annoyed with more bad play
"The Thrill Is Gone" just came up in my playlist
Fitting. We need a bat, and QUICK.

It's time to seriously consider benching Jay Bruce for a game or two
He needs more help than the occasional “Keep your eye on the ball” that Old Brooky is giving him. Why is he being allowed to flounder so miserably? At least move him up in the order so that Paul Janish isn’t his protection.
It’s nice to see Willy get hits in consecutive games, but for the sake of hell he hasn’t walked sinced the Carter Administration.
It really pains me to see Adam Rosales’ name keep appearing in box scores.
So the pitching staff is experiencing frustration and fatigue as the season drags into July. For all intents and purposes, we have sub-MLB players manning 3B, SS, RF, CF and a significant upgrade at catcher rotting on the bench. This is a recipe for another sub-80 win season.

Next year
we won’t be paying A-Gon or Ramon close to $6M each. If we could get parts of Arroyo’s $11M, Taveras’ $4M, Cordero’s $12M and Lincoln’s $2.5M off the books — let’s say $13M saved there and you’re clear roughly $25M in payroll for 2010 after the fire sale.
Get Abreu, pay him $5M, put him in a LF platoon with Jonny Gomes.
Get Orlando Hudson, pay him $4M to man short.
Make Masset the closer. Sign up LaTroy Hawkins ($3M) to shore up the bullpen.
Sign Andruw Jones up to compete for the fourth/fifth OF spot with Stubbs, Frazier and Dickerson.
Sign Justin Duchsherer to compete for the back-of-rotations spots with Homer and Micah.
Stubbs/Dickerson/Jones CF
Hanigan C
Votto 1B
Phillips 2B
Bruce RF
Abreu/Gomes LF
Encarnacion 3B
Hudson SS
Rotation:
Cueto
Volquez
Harang
Duchscherer
Bailey

Last night's FAoftheG
Britain’s Victoria Pendleton
I missed the game, but saw a glimpse on the big screen at Fountain Square – Harang looked like he was tossing BP…

it is too bad the Cubs don't need a catcher
with Milton Bradley’s problems in Chicago a Ramon Hernedez for Bradley deal could be nice. Too bad Willey sucks so much the Cubs won’t take him for anything, but I don’t think Chicago would be interested in a T-Virus/Bradley contract swap.
Bloop
I think Chicago would trade MB for anyone
all the other team would have to do is pick up most of his salary.
lets say that chicago picks up half of MB's salary in 2010 and 2011.

why in the H would you want Milton Bradley?
you never know what he’s going to do one year to the next and he’s always injured. at 10 mil per we should be happy the Cubs are dragging that anchor.

Agreed.
Although, I would pay to get to see this once or twice a season.

the whole soap opera yesterday
Listening to Chicago radio, its hard to determine what went on, but it was fairly involved. One part of it included Z discussing something with him. If Z and MB went at it, that would be a cage match. Put that on pay per view.
if the cubs pick up half of his salary
and the reds can unload t-virus, it could be a good pick up. I think he would do better with Dusty Baker than Lou Pinella.

the John Fay sub posted the lineup
I’m glad to see Hanigan in there. Votto and Phillips have flipped again.
As much as I complained about Homer last time he pitched, I would really like to ee him succeed, not just to get the win, but because it would be a relief to know we’ve got another solid starter from our own system
Wonder what got into dusty ?This is my kind of line up
Dickerson 8 – Gets hits, runs fast, good D
Hairston Jr. 5 – Scrappy, gets hits, real VP
Votto 3 – He is all man
Phillips 4 – Should be switched with Gomes, but we all know BP
Nix 7 – Can’t complain about his ability to jack the ball
Gomes DH – should be cleanup – strong OBP/OPS
Bruce 9 – Good placement, it is just a matter of time and maturation
Hanigan 2 – I hope he’s still hot – this young man is ultra-scrappy
Janish 6 – Who? can really play D – with all the other timber in this line up, any hits he gets are gravy
(Bailey 1) – the newest version of Home (Homer 6.0) is going to be successful.Very Successful!
Hope I get to see some of the game tonight.
