We're not even one game past the All Star break and already the typical Reds frustrations are settling back in. Chris Dickerson was supposed to be in the lineup tonight, but he is still having trouble with back spasms. That leaves Willy Taveras, Laynce Nix, Jonny Gomes, and Jerry Hairston Jr. as the only outfield options and Adam Rosales, Paul Janish, and Ryan Hanigan as the only other options on the bench. The way this team has been managing its roster this season blows my mind. But hey, at least the Reds have 8 pitchers in the bullpen the day after a 3-day vacation.
Homer Bailey gets another opportunity to show us if he truly has turned the proverbial corner. This will be his 3rd career start against the Brewers, but the first since he's found the new split-finger fastball and the increase in velocity. Hopefully the Brewers haven't been scouting him. I'd love to see their jaws drop a bit like Albert Pujols did (before he hit the grand slam off of Weathers - ugh, even happy stories have bad endings this season).
All you need to know about Braden Looper tonight is that Willy Taveras has homered off of him. Only seven other pitchers can make that claim. And Willy did it this year off of Looper, so he's hot right now! This game is so ours!

"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
is it really too much to ask of our manager that he put together the most effective lineup?
i could understand if he didnt get the ins and outs of high leverage situations, the ineffectiveness of sac bunts, and the ridiculousness of the save stat. that kind of stuff isnt going to go away for a long time. i can live with it. and even if we got rid of Dusty his replacement likely wouldnt get these things either. but continually fucking up the lineup like this is just inexcusable. he has his positives as a manager, but his inability to simply bat the best guys first outweighs all of that. it’s breathtaking.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Jul 16, 2009 5:54 PM EDT reply actions
This is what frustrates me the most too
It’s just not that difficult to put a decent lineup together and dusty consistently fails. Whoever said it preseason is a prophet— we really do need a dusty proof roster and this definitely ain’t it

What "technicality" could be holding up a roster move?
I hoped for a moment that that meant Stubbs was getting called up and hadn’t gotten back from Portland yet. But Jocketty made it pretty clear that Stubbs is not getting the call.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Sutton's 10 day waiting period
sounds like a decent guess to me. Though I’m not sure why they would have both Sutton and Rosales up. I’d love for it to be a 40 man move and Sutton swapped for Rosales but I know it’s probably going to be worst thing imaginable.
by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Jul 16, 2009 6:24 PM EDT up reply actions
The thing is though
If it was a wait for the 10 day period, they should have just called up Sutton on Sunday… they could have called him up since he was coming back due to an injured player… instead we end up with Rosie again and now we are playing short handed… again

by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Jul 16, 2009 6:31 PM EDT up reply actions
not funny
My guess is Sutton up and a pitcher down, and Rosie stays. They are hoping c-dick can play tomorrow so the prob won’t callup an OF. Cherry becomes the starting SS/5th OF.

Does this mean Sutton's going to be playing short ?
If Jerry is moving to the OF, is Sutton the bench man and Janish gets starts at short? Or are we looking at Rosales?
Just fucking stick Gomes in left fulltime, yea?

What really pisses me off about Jock not wanting to bring up Stubbs is...
he was the first name brought up when Walt was up in the booth with in the game Bruce went down.
Don’t toy with me then call up Pee Wee Herman!
What
is this team going to do? 3 players on the Bench? Why isn’t Hanigan playing right now? He’s one of the hottest rookies in the league. There are so few options to work with that a move of some kind needs to be made.
Does Gomes have a better arm than Nix?
by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Jul 16, 2009 6:24 PM EDT reply actions
I would say Nix's is better
He has a couple of assists from Left… bu they have been fairly shallow hits

You know, as upset as I am with the lack of moves
the lack of answers ready in the organization, and my determination that they need to make a trade, the most disappointing part of the second half is the return of George “conventional wisdom” Grande. He’s the answer to my question of what the dead ball era thinks about line construction. I already had to hear about “productive outs” and the love for a scrappy, sucky white utility player ("who displays great leadership).
Now, normally, I wouldn’t even be watching this late in the season, but they’re only five games back and Walt has shown the ability to make moves to help his team, so I keep watching. But, all I can think of is maybe Walt could package some people and George for Vin Scully?

Berry is supposed to tell him to slide right? It was a pretty shallow hit and Hernandez is the slowest guy on this team.
I guess you send him cuz Bailey’s coming up with 2 outs. That looked sad though.

You motion to the runner which side to slide to and whether to slide.

Wow.
Prince appears to have Homer’s number this evening. Lucky that one stayed foul.

3 Runs, 4 hits, 4 walks...
How’s Homer looked tonight?

Spotting the fastball well.
Command of the secondary stuff has been suspect, hence the walks. But, overall, not bad.

Homer needs to reach back and get some Ks
Been allowing baserunners every inning, but this is still a good start for the man as of now.

and he nearly misplayed it off the wall...again
i think he got a lucky bounce. he was way too close to the wall.

He was playing it off the wall.
I thought he played it pretty well, actually.

He’s over 100 pitches.

poor guy
It’s not a good situation to come into. I’d hate to put even Mariano Rivera into that situation, let alone a kid like Masset.

Still encouraged by Homer's performance
There’s just no margin for error when you pitch on the 2009 Reds.

Shitfuck
Masset crashing back to earth HARD.

well, this sure fell apart fast
They probably shouldn’t have let Homer stay in so long.

Why the fuck is Masset still in with our 8-man bullpen
and everyone on at least 3 days rest??

I don't think we have that much to sell
We may be able to flip a couple of the relievers, but I don’t see the return being more than a C prospect.
I can't wait to hear local talk show guys spout on about how terrible Homer is
He was exponentially better than his line indicates.

He was okay
Certainly not terrible. Could have snuck away with only 4 ER.
But he didn’t hit his spots. 11 Baserunners in 5.1 IP is pretty bad.

eh, it doesn’t matter…they’re both kinda ugly
