Arizona Diamondbacks at Cincinnati Reds, Jul 2, 2009 12:35 PM EDT

Doesn't it seem like they just played? I'm not talking about anything like "hey, these games are really close together." I literally mean that it feels like the other game just ended and not a single thing has happened since then. It's probably just my boring ass life though.
Let's see, what do we have today? Oh look, a match up of two pitchers with good ERAs and terrible records. Doug Davis is having a pretty good season and he always seems to handle the Reds well (6-3, 3.46 ERA in his career). The Reds knocked him out early the last time they faced back in April of 2008 after drawing 6 walks in 3.2 innings. And that's the key with Davis. You have to be patient and make him throw strikes, because he will walk quite a few batters if given the chance. He's walked 3 or more batters in 10 of his 16 starts this season. I know many of the Reds hitters like to be aggressive at the plate, but in this instance, patience is definitely a virtue.
Aaron Harang's career numbers against the Diamondbacks are somewhat indicative of his last two seasons with the Reds, except that he's pitched better. In 8 career starts against the Dbacks, Harang has a 1.66 ERA over 54.1 innings pitched, yet somehow is just 2-4 in those games. How he hasn't started cutting people on the team is beyond me.
Willy Taveras is back in the lineup and leading off again today. I'm not sure why he continues to lead off even though Chris Dickerson is also in the lineup, but whatever. I need to stop trying to understand Dusty's brain. It confounds me.

full lineup
Taveras 8
Hairston 5
Votto 3
Phillips 4
Gomes 7
Hanigan 2
Dickerson 9
Janish 6
Harang 1
Bruce sits against the lefty. i would have liked to see Sutton get the start at 3B and give Cherry a day off, but no biggy.

It'll be interesting to see how Dickerson handles right field
It seems like he plays center much better than he plays left. Hopefully he can have a good day out in right.

That's an awful lot of righties.

by Gray on Jul 2, 2009 11:44 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah
I don’t mind Bruce getting the day off, but Hairston has been just as bad over the past month
Bruce (since 6/1): .181/.284/.372
Hairston (since 6/1): .216/.276/.239
And it’s possible that Bruce has seen a bit more bad luck than Cherry. His BABIP since 6/1 is .173 compared to Hairston’s .253.
I think it’s a matter of Dusty being locked into roles still. Clearly, a rookie shouldn’t bat 2nd and there isn’t anyone else in the line up who can handle batting 2nd except maybe Dickerson, but then the only 2 lefties in the lineup are batting back-to-back. See, his hands are tied.

I guess we have to be resigned to know the one and two spots are almost always
going to suck and/or be misappropriated while Dusty’s in charge. Maybe lineups are just a bugbear, but he’s doing the most damage by fouling up the two spots that come up the most — and the two in front of Votto.

Glad to see Han-again
It’s really a good problem to have two solid catchers now that Hernandez seems to be hitting again. The batteries are have been great, this team is just sorely lacking these days in positions 5-9, with the possible exception of Gomes’ and Dickerson’s recent production.

I did think it was interesting....
that during the game yesterday the Corona stat (or whatever it’s called) of the game mentioned the top Reds hitters in June, and it’s three guys who aren’t everyday players in Dickerson, Hanigan, and Gomes.

mindblowing stat of the day
The Reds have had 657 official AB’s taken by positional players with OPS’s under .600!
Taveras – 245 AB’s, .579 OPS
Rosales – 127 AB’s, .561 OPS
Gonzalez – 182 AB’s, .559 OPS
Edwin – 63 AB’s, .476 OPS
McDonald – 40 AB’s, .475 OPS
thats’ 25.5% of the team’s total AB’s taken by guys hitting barely above what a pitcher hits. How Taveras continues getting AB’s blows my mind.

It's easy to explain away the rest of them as 'injured' or 'replacement player'
but Taveras was signed to a multi-year deal and is supposed to be the regular starting CF. It’s madness. I want him start hitting like he did in April but I think his confidence is totally shot. He isn’t walking at all because he’s not seeing anything out of the zone and is swining pretty freely – another lapse to attribute to Jacoby. He’s also completely sapped of his extra-base hitting ability. At this point, even if you can say in some sense he’s “out of the slump,” he’s still not going to be walking, hitting for power or getting the ball out of the infield. He’s probably going to steal less bases than Ian Kinsler.
Part of it is Taveras was never the player he was billed to be but I think part of it is also a lack of motivation from the coaching staff – running him out there relentless has just dug him a bigger psychological pit — and a lack of any apparent hitting instruction.

this, in my opinion, is Dusty's biggest fault as a strategist
because Hernandez has done well in about 10 at bats with runners in scoring position, that defines him far more than what he’s done in all other at bats this season.
Baker often talks about how it’s a long season made up of a lot of repetitions and lots of at bats, but he seems to forget that (conveniently) often.

They are equivalent.
Also, Burton was holding this team back.

Dusty's use of the bullpen
We often give Dusty a hard time for overusing the bullpen. This year, though, he’s actually spread the innings quite well. The most innings anyone has thrown so far this season is the now Kentucky-resident Jared Burton at 33.2 – that projects to about 72 innings for the entire year.
It helps that Masset, Herrera, Fisher, Reoneke, and Burton (of late) have pitched so well and that the starters have been staying in games so long.

The slash seems to represent two occasionally contradicting ideas
One being the “signed” meaning you raise (Taveras is an ideal leadoff hitter. /Dusty), the other being some sort of computer code denoting activity or attitude (Taveras HRs! /craps pants). I guess it’s the price of living in the internet transition era.

Hey, look who continues to be stupid
I’m always hesitant to say any game/series/road trip/homestand is "big’’ in baseball. There are just too many of them. But my gut tells me today is Big for Aaron Harang, erstwhile Reds ace, who is 11-25 the last year and a half. Harang’s steadiness used to be his trademark. Now, it’s anything but. His last time out, he blamed the hitters. Not a good thing to do when you’re 5-8 and 11-25. Without Harang keeping them in games start after start, the Reds have no Big Game guy. For those whe believe the club is a contender (not me) that’s a serious shortfall.

He was a features and arts guy first who ended up in sports back when the Post was doing some crazy shit back in the 80s. He likes sports — he’s not a ‘sports guy.’
But compared to what the rest of the nation gets? He’s far better than most. If you think Lupica, Mariotti (sp?) and Plaschke are beyond terrible. They say more idiotic things in one sentence than Daugherty says in a whole column. Also, Daugherty, whether you like him or not, can actually write. Plaschke leads the world in four-word paragraphs. That’s not emphasis when you do it every other line, jackass.
All I’m saying, it could be a lot worse.

I had a meeting...
and when I returned the Reds were once again losing.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.

In Lima
waiting for my passport to be hopefully approved before my plane leaves Monday 3,000 miles from here. Um, some gangster wannabees tried to rob me again last night. I gotta get the hell outta here.

Yeah, that place doesn't sound so great.
Also, I’ve lived where I live too long and I read “In Lima” and immediately wanted to tell you to pick up some Kewpee.
Then I realized you meant LEE-MA.

The only thing I know about Lima, OH
Is that I saw Al Snow at the Borders Bookstore where I worked on the same day I saw the Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile. Pretty much one of the Top 5 Days of my life.

Snow frequents the Drive-In up here in VW County quite often. Really good guy.
Lima, um, not-so-much.

WTF was that Gomes?

Bruce comes in
and we take out Gomes, not Taveras?
Nice.

it's all about who bats last
not who bats worst.
What doesn’t make sense is that there is NO CHANCE that Masset will pitch more than one inning, thereby negating the unnecessary double-switch.

Less than or equal to Dusty?

And at least bringing in Bruce for Taveras improves
both the offense and defense.

Dusty's obviously trying to keep the guy that can tie the game with one swing of the bat in.
oh… wait.
