Bronson Arroyo's pitching today? Ugh. Come on Arroyo, don't ruin my weekend before it even starts. That's all of the time I'm going to devote to him today.
Pitching for the Mets tonight is 26-year old righty Fernando Nieve. Nieve was picked up off of waivers by the Mets from the Astros back in March and has done well since moving into the starting rotation last month. He's not very pitch efficient and he doesn't tend to go deep into games, but it seems like every time I describe a pitcher that way the Reds come out hacking and he's into the 5th inning on 60 pitches. Given the Reds inability to hit, well, anybody lately, I don't feel at all confident facing a pitcher who has actually had some success.
The good news is that the Mets aren't exactly tearing things up right now either. They've managed just 35 runs over their last 14 games, which is 18 fewer than the Reds have scored, believe it or not. So once again we get to answer the age old question, does crappy pitching beat crappy hitting.
On the Reds side of the offense, Jay Bruce is getting his second night off in a row. Chris Dickerson will be playing RF and leading off. Also in the lineup tonight are Laynce Nix in LF, Jerry Hairston Jr. at SS, and Ryan Hanigan catching. Hanigan hasn't caught Arroyo since June 19th, which believe or not was his last win as well.
For those that are interested, I was making the rounds today on the New York Mets talk show circuit. You check out my interview with SNY.tv here. I also answered questions for Amazin' Avenue and The Daily Stache. What can I say? I'm a media darling.

that is big news here
Kind of reminds me of something my office did once. Every group was required to give up their least desired worker, and take someone else’s in return.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
yes
Well, not really hated. Some were, but some were widely liked people who were just disliked by their boss, usually because they didn’t work much (because they spent too much time socializing!).
Of course they didn’t actually come out and say it, but we all knew the associates each had to pick one underling to give up, and you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know they wouldn’t give up a worker they valued.
In any case, I think that’s what happened with Church and Failecoeur. Neither gets along with his manager, so they decided to swap.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Failcoeur
won’t be wearing #7 in NY.

Arroyo
Maybe just maybe… Arroyo is pitching to his buddy catcher again finally so maybe he will remember how to pitch well again. I always hate it when the Reds play against pitchers that don’t have a lot of experience they seem to blow it every time.
Bows his head………. Please lord let Arroyo pitch a Win tonight ……
This week has been dreadful for the goodguys..

Why would he even come out with that glove it it’s too light? Are the Reds the only ones who complained?

It was flesh colored
He put on long sleeves for an inning – and then I think he changed to a darker bandage after that.

I miss Jay Bruce
I don’t care if he’s not hitting, I wanna see him. And Dusty decides to bench him during the Mets series, of all things.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
At the game
Bronson looks good, although anybody could against this lineup. Never seen so many weak grounders and pop ups in my life.
Votto’s HR was a bomb—oppo field, that wall is 384 feet away and at least 15-20ft high
Taveras sucks so bad it hurts, but that 1st inning catch was sweet.
C-dick and hanigan give great ABs
All for now

I hope Walt is on the phone with Omar Minaya right now
trying to deal Arroyo. That would make my night.
He sits alone...Reds are not home.
Sorry I missed this gem!
I was out of town, and listened over the radio. When Bronson is on, hemakes me love him. The Mets fans were really not digging that. Votto, once again, was great, but I did wonder, as I listened, why he tried to stretch that one into two. Was the ball kicking around in the outfield? That boy can do everything, but he’s not the fastest guy!
Bubba, thanks much for the Mets highlights! Lovin’ it. Is Votto their Werth? Do they want the pitchers to brush him back? If they touch my fave Canuck with a pitch, I may have to drive up to the Big Apple with offensive signs and a bad attitude. That would teach em’! That, or a Harang fastball in the teeth of one of theirs.
Quick quesiton abbout balls and strikes. I heard over the broadcast that EE and Votto argued. Did it get ugly? I’ve sene Joey V. getting more upset by that over the past few games than I’ve ever seen him this season.
Finally, can Marty and Cowboy shut up about Michael Jackson and call the game tomorrow?
Sorry you missed it to
I wanted to you to weigh on important topics like Arroyo’s hair. ;-)
I think Votto tried to stretch a single into a double because he has no faith in the rest of the lineup. (And I don’t blame him.) With two outs, he got aggressive. Too aggressive.
Votto had already homered when they were talking about brushing him back, so yeah, I think he was their Werth.
EE did get very upset. I was afraid he’d get ejected; the coaches were awfully slow to get out there and drag him away.
I can understand why he was mad, but he was wrong. The umpire made the right call. The pitch was high and inside…and hit his bat, then fell into the catcher’s glove. EE thought it was a ball, but it was foul tip, and that’s what the umpire called it. Strike 3.
I hate it when that happens. If the bat wasn’t there, it would be a ball, no doubt. He did not mean to swing; he was just getting out of the way. But if the ball hits the bat, too bad.
He should have screamed, dropped the bat, and grabbed his hand. Maybe the umpire would believe it hit his hand, not the bat. ;-)
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
thanks for the recap!
I’m sorry I missed it too. I will probably miss the early part of the game tomorrow as well (busy weekend) but I ought to be in for some. I want to see Votto’s “wicked” bat do more damage.
As for Arroyo’s hair, it makes me jealous. I want whatever he’s using ;) Bronson really is a nice lookin’ gent—unless he gets really sweaty then his vlouminous hair starts to look a little ratty.
just when I think Bronson is out
He pulls himself back in.

Did anybody
catch when Marty and Brantley were talking about the mistake he made about the song, Marty read a text on air from someone from the radio Station. It simply said “WTF”. They did not say anything else about it. Seems Marty realized what it stood for right after he read it.
Bronson is one slippery Acidheaded dude
