Cincinnati Reds at Cleveland Indians, Jun 28, 2009 1:05 PM EDT
|
|
|
The Reds beat up on 24-year old David Huff for 6 runs in 3 innings back in his 2nd career start this past May. Since then, he hasn't pitched too poorly for the Indians, going 3-1 with a 3.41 ERA in 6 starts. He's pitched into the 8th in 2 of his last 3 starts, but otherwise, he's had trouble going deep into games so far. The Reds need to take advantage of this and try to get him out of the game early.
In a scheduling oddity, this will be the 6th left-hander the Reds have faced in their last 8 games.
Micah Owings has to pitch again without being able to utilize his best asset. Wasting Owings in American League games make him just another mediocre pitcher. He didn't look too good in his last start against the Blue Jays, but prior to that he had bee much more successful for a few starts. Makes me wonder if he doesn't like to pitch when he can't bat. (I know, it's probably more just a case of him being a mediocre pitcher, but sportswriters needlessly theorize all of the time, so why can't I?)
A win today with give the Reds a series win and split the road trip for the AND get them back to .500 on the season. As bad as they looked in Toronto, a road trip split wouldn't be too shabby.

If you have to play Willy
why not have him 9th in this AL game, and keep Dickerson in the leadoff.

If you currently have it all you have to do is draw the 6-game series (which the Reds did last night).

olney says holliday done deal
if wallace is available and if A’s include a reliever (maybe wuertz, bailey, ziegler, or springer)
Pujols/Holliday = world series
From Buster Olney’s (insider) blog, this morning:
St. Louis may not be finished dealing because the Cards have been casting big nets in trade talks this week. They have had conversations with Oakland about Matt Holliday and probably could get a deal done if they agree to part with young infielder Brett Wallace. They could use a veteran reliever now that Chris perez has been dealt.

Allow me
From the Baseball Prospectus Basics Series, Measuring Offense:
So, highly context-dependent counting stats like RBI and runs scored can be inflated or deflated by a panoply of factors that have nothing to do with that hitter’s true abilities. One of the prevailing missions of sabermetrics is to evaluate the player in a vacuum: What’s he doing independently of his teammates and environment? Using only RBI or runs scored to judge a player or to frame an argument at the tavern is a fool’s errand.

by BubbaFan on Jun 28, 2009 3:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Sure, over time it evens out
But the original point is what BP has done thus far. That he’s hit better with RISP has helped the team score more runs. It doens’t matter why that’s happened – whether it’s luck, a sample size fluke, or a personality trait.
If you were looking at two MVP candidates that OPS’d 1.000, but one had considerably better RISP numbers, you’d have to pick the the clutch king. Doesn’t matter why/how he hit better with RISP, but he did, and like I said those runs count. This would be reflected in a higher WPA.
by ken on Jun 28, 2009 2:12 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I wouldn't say I'd have to pick that one.
The hilarious thing about RISP numbers is that the sample size can vary widely for reasons outside of a hitter’s control. So Ryan Hanigan never gets to bat with people on, while others come up with people on a lot more. So Hanigan could be hitting poorly just as a statistical fluke.
Of course MVP guys tend to be both good and a bit lucky, but a season provides a decent enough sample for looking at general stats. Breaking things down by RISP is a lot less reliable.

I’m nowhere near Hap’s. Claddagh is closer if I need a pub to watch the game at, but I’m chilling at home for the time being.

Taveras swings at the worst pitches
If that guy learned some plate discipline, he could be a solid leadoff hitter. Otherwise, he should be batting towards the bottom of the lineup.

from the NYT article...
Tampa area media outlets reported that Mays was a passenger on a U.S. Airways flight that made a rough landing on Saturday afternoon at Tampa International Airport, apparently blowing its front tires in an incident that left debris on the runway.
Tampa Bay’s Fox television affiliate interviewed Mays after the incident.
‘’All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping,’’ MyFox Tampa Bay quoted him as saying. ‘’It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head.’’

Not a whole lot.
Just working and trying to get the house and house related items around.
The sellers are actually renting from us until the 1st, so we’re not moving in until the 3rd.
We need to get a Columbus RR outing around soon. FVA had talked about the Montgomery Inn or maybe Bob’s Bar. Let’s get on that.
