Dan Haren vs Bronson Arroyo

Partly cloudy,rain. Game time temperature around 70.

 

Complete Coverage >



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Dan Haren 6-5 2.25 0.81 104 14



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Bronson Arroyo 8-6 5.54 1.46 50 35


Saying that the Reds have their work cut out for them tonight is probably a ginormous understatement.  How good is Dan Haren this year?

  • He has one start this season where he has allowed more than 3 runs. 
  • He has 3 starts this season where he has gone less than 7 innings (none in his last 8 starts), and he went 6 innings in those 3 starts. 
  • That means that 14 of his 15 starts are "Quality Starts." 
  • He's allowed less than 5 hits in 4 of his last 5 starts.
  • His WHIP this season is a crazy-insane 0.81.  2nd place in the Majors (Zach Greinke) is closer to 29th place than he is to Haren.

If there is a chink in his armor, it's that he's allowed 11 HR in his 15 starts.  Thankfully Joey Votto's back or else Jay Bruce might have to hit eleventy home runs by himself tonight.

Luckily the Reds have Bronson Arroyo on the mound tonight.  Luckily?  Yeah, I've got nothing to back that up, but I'm trying to put a positive spin on a night that is going to be tough from the get-go.  The good news about Arroyo's disastrous start last week in Toronto that mirrored his start a year earlier is that Arroyo went on a run after being embarrassed by the Blue Jays in 2008 and posted a 3.42 ERA for the remainder of the season.  We can only hope that this past trip to the great white north was equally eye-opening.  I have my doubts though, as I have feeling that carpal tunnel as turned Arroyo into a crapal funnel (HA!  I just made that up!  I kill me!).  Okay, I don't think he's that bad, but we can't afford even the slightest screw up tonight from Arroyo.  In case you missed it, Haren's a pretty good pitcher.

If you are going down to the game tonight, be sure to cheer loudly for Joey Votto.  Let him know that we're glad to have him back!

The mystery of EE

continues.

False alarm: Edwin Encarnacion remains on rehab. He was given today off. That’s a little odd because he was scheduled to play today and be off tomorrow. But I’d told there’s nothing more to it.

“I’m not counting on it,” Dusty Baker said when asked if Encarnacion would be back before the end of this homestand. “Optimisitically maybe.”

Encarnacion’s rehab is limited to 20 days, so it has to end July 10 — a week from Friday. He doesn’t have to be activated then but he can’t continue on rehab.

I'm starting to think...

…something’s up. It wasn’t just Fay jumping the gun. Hall of Famer Hal smells a rat, too:

Encarnacion’s mysterious day off

Edwin Encarnacion was scheduled to play today for the Louisville Bats, but he was not in the lineup and didn’t play at all. Adam Rosales played third base.

A setback? Something wrong?

Nobody really knows. The Reds made some quick calls and were told that nothing is wrong with Encarnacion, "Just a manager’s decision."

A long-time employee of the Reds said he had never heard of such a thing – that when the team sent a player down on rehab he always plays, unless there is a problem.

And the strange thing is that the Bats are off tomorrow, so Encarnacion would get a day off then. Now he gets two in a row.

As was pointed out by a Reds official, Encarnacion played only six innings his first game on rehab, seven innings the next game, he DHed for two games, "So he can’t be tired and can’t be in need of a rest."

Mostly because all the contemporary artists have been citing Springsteen as a big influence for a couple years now. So why not go straight to the source?

Incidentally, do you listen to the Gaslight Anthem? They managed do what the Killers failed to do, and merge that glammy rock sound with Springsteen-ish protagonists in a way that works incredibly well.

Upon my initial review

You both raise really great points. On one hand, it is really catchy, and I’m all about that. But it is also really repetitive. It strikes me as a song that I’d get stuck in my head and want to listen to every once in a while, but if it came up on my shuffle, I’d probably skip it.

As much as I hate to say this, I can’t break the tie.

It's fascinating that Dan Haren was taken out of this game

Blowing Dan Haren gems is what the Diamondbacks do best. A couple of weeks ago they blew a 4-1 lead in the last two innings, then they blew a 5-1 lead in the ninth five days later. It’s shocking they don’t let him just finish every game he starts. It takes a Herculean Coffey/Graves effort to make Dan Haren a 6-5 pitcher.

Bubba Crosby’s at-bat music was “Shine Down,” by Godsmack. The beginning sounds really hillbilly…like a jugband or something.
