W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Micah Owings 4-8 4.87 1.56 46 38



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - David Huff 3-2 5.71 1.46 23 14


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.

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 D-Rock on Jun 28, 2009 2:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

id say runs scored increases

when players get on base more often.

by obc2 on Jun 28, 2009 2:09 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think their point with runs scored is...

It’s still a team dependent stat. A guy can get on base 40% of the time but he isn’t a shitty player just because the guys on his team don’t drive him in and he has less than 100 runs scored.

They're meaningless because

over time, these things even out and pretty much everyone is the same hitter with RISP as without. Differences arise because of inherently small sample sizes, not for any meaningful reasons.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

by BubbaFan on Jun 28, 2009 3:23 PM EDT up reply actions  

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  

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.

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.

Ahem....

Harang is being a crybaby. “I just try to be too perfect coz I know I’m not getting any runs.” Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Seldom do you win pitching like he did the last time out.

yeah he didnt have much reason to complain about last game

but he hasnt gotten run support for nigh on 2 years now. he shouldnt be complaining publicly about it, but it’s to blame him for that.

but I’d like to see what last night’s lineup does against the upcoming schedule, which is daunting.

I’d never seen him score a goal in a World Cup or Olympics match. Beautiful give and go on the fast break, nice left footed layup by Landon off the crossover.
