belated props to John Sickels

and Slyde for posting his Maloney analysis. John almost exactly predicted his ending line.
Stewart gave up his first run in AA- but I think the Reds can accept 6 IP 1 ER 2hit 8k/3BB line.
Homer Bailey and Travis Wood up today.
But right now I dont think the Reds have ever matched this much quality young starting pitching. It will be interesting how Walt handles this depth.

Votto

Anyone with a good gaydar get a reading on Votto? I’m not saying that’s what’s going on, but it would explain quite a bit about what kind of pressure he’s under to handle his success perfectly.

I don know Joey Votto, obviously.

He could be married for all I know. There had been some talk over the last decade of when the first openly gay superstar would surface and how baseball (and it’s fans) would handle it. So it crossed my mind.

But it’s not fair to the guy or his family to suggest such a thing if he’s not. If he is married and/or has a family, he’d have bigger issues to deal with than being accepted by the baseball community.

Well...

I think I basically agree with you, but I don’t think it matters if he has a wife or kids. I think I just misinterpreted what you said the first time around, but I’m wary of (1) discussing outing people, and (2) implying that it’s a negative thing it is to be non-heterosexual. Reading back, you focused more on how it might be tough for him because of others’ views, but I’m still wary.

One thought I had today. Since we’ll still be short for decent bats when we travel to play the AL teams, any chance Dusty uses Owings as the DH? To me it’s a no-brainer, but that doesn’t mean Dusty will do it.

Can't say that I'm impressed with the pinch hit usage this game

The Reds should have pinch hit for Dickerson in the 7th. That run would have been huge. Then why bring a guy out to pinch hit that hasn’t played in a week when you desperately need a hit in the 8th?

Agreed

I thought the same thing. Then I figured they weren’t PHing for Dickerson since there’d really be noone to play OF (although I suppose Hairston could’ve moved to OF is Rosales PH)

Regardless, if you were willing to play Taveras in the field, why not PH for CDick with Owings and send Taveras out there? And WHY would you hit Taveras there? I guess he needed to use him now so he can get a couple innings in the OF, just to see how the old hammy is doing. Cause, you know, that’s more important than winning the game

To elaborate
Klein HS (Tex.) LHP Matt Purke is looking for “Rick Porcello’s deal” in the upcoming draft, according to industry sources familiar with his demands. Porcello, who was drafted 27th overall by Detroit in the 2007 draft, received a deal worth $7.285 million in guaranteed money, including a $3.58 million signing bonus, both of which eclipsed the previous records for a contract signed by a high school pitcher, held by Josh Beckett.

Purke is committed to TCU and probably moves out of the first round as a result of this demand, with few if any teams willing to commit that kind of money to a high school pitcher, but he could end up receiving a deal close to Porcello’s on August 15th with a team that takes him later on day one or even day two and tries to wait him out.
