PrintCincinnati Reds at Milwaukee Brewers, Aug 26, 2009 8:05 PM EDT
|
|
|
The Reds have won 2 games in a row. If they can keep up that pace for the rest of the season, they might be able to sneak into a wild card spot!
Tonight will mark Kip Wells first start in the big leagues since July 21st of last season when he gave up 8 runs on 7 hits in one-third of an inning. That was one of two starts that he made last season. Since that start, he has been signed and released by both the Kansas City Royals and the Washington Nationals. If there is any reason to feel optimistic about his chances tonight, I'm not seeing it.
This will be the fifth time the Reds have faced Braden Looper this season. He's 3-1 with a 5.40 ERA in the previous 4 starts, allowing 5 home runs, so they can get to him. Then again, of those 5 home runs, 4 have been hit by players currently on the Reds disabled list. That means Joey Votto needs to hit 5 home runs tonight. That'd be worth watching.
I'm really having a hard time getting any sort of enthusiasm up for this team right now. Summer is winding down and frankly, there aren't many players out there that I particularly care about. However, a nice long winning streak might draw me back in a bit. At least that might make up for all the losing we've had to suffer through.

Does anyone have a sound explanation for why Kip Wells is starting tonight?
by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Aug 26, 2009 6:08 PM EDT reply actions
I think they want to leave Louisville as intact as possible
They are leading the division and already selling playoff tickets. Calling up Maloney or Jukich won’t put more buns in the seats in Cincinnati, but the Bats in the playoffs will mean ticket sales. It’s all about the money.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I hadn't considered that angle
Thanks for the explanation. Where do those revenues end up?

I honestly don't know
Maybe someone who does will chime in.
It seems pretty complicated. The Bats’ name and facilities are not owned by the Reds. And the Bats and Reds are run like separate teams. How separate they really are, and how much is just switching money from one pocket to another one, I dunno.
The local community is also a factor. I imagine a successful Bats team helps when it comes time to negotiate tax breaks and such.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
They are going to bring up Maloney
but his next day to pitch is Saturday. I think he is just a 1 start fill in.

you think?
The Fay said he thinks it will be Owings. Unless Owings is needed tonight, to bail out Wells. In which case they may call somebody up from Louisville.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Well I think if
Kip Wells pitches 6 innings of good baseball tonight he gets another start. But if Owings has to come in tonight, then we will have Maloney on Sat.
The over under on Wells’s innings tonight is probably 4.
I think it will also depend on the shape of the bull-pen on Sat too.

he's already exceeded my expecations

I have a good feeling about tonight
Why?
I just cooked up some Skyline chili (sent to me by my saint of a mother) and made some coneys with Esasky beef franks. The packaging for the hot dogs had a picture of the Baltimore Oriole on it, which confused me. As far as I could determine, Esasky never played for the Orioles, and I don’t think he coached there. Different Esasky, maybe?
Anyhow, go Reds!
Go Reds!
THEY’RE MY FAVORITE TEAM!

For my own sanity, I prefer to keep Taveras out of it
I don’t see how they could carry Stubbs, Taveras and C-Dick. One of those gets traded – or in the case of Taveras – released right? I know it’s not likely to be WIlly, but assuming it’s possible, I’d love to see Stubbs, Dickerson, Bruce, Gomes and either Balentien or Heisey.

I think it's just because
the season started so late this year.
Not sure why that was. WBC? Just didn’t want to risk being snowed out like happend a couple of years ago?
The games are also starting 40 minutes earlier than usual. The ratings were awful last year, and Bud’s hoping starting the games earlier will help. Kids can watch them, and adults on the East Coast who have to get up for work.

he said half a million tickets
He didn’t say half a million unique tickets.
But say they are unique. According to this page:
Since the total number of combinations for Mega Millions numbers is used in all the calculations, we will calculate it first. The number of ways 5 numbers can be randomly selected from a field of 56 is: COMBIN = 3,819,816.
For each of these 3,819,816 combinations there are COMBIN = 46 different ways to pick the sixth number (the "Mega" number). The total number of ways to pick the 6 numbers is the product of these. Thus, the total number of equally likely Mega Millions combinations is 3,819,816 × 46 = 175,711,536.
You could theoretically buy that many tickets and guarantee a win…but if there are other winning tickets, you could lose your shirt.

except for Janish...
It’s pretty decent offensively too.

over a full season
i bet Janish has above replacement value at SS given his premium defense. If he hit .240 he would be a pretty good player……the problem is batting 2nd

He's the closer and it's a save situation
He’s coming in, and he’s slamming the door.

I'm probably jinxing us
but wouldn’t it be sweet if we could sweep the Brewers? That sweep back in May was very painful
Just got home from bowling
I have no bowling update tonight
I agreed to give Stumps the benefit of some playing time,,,,but he appears to be more like I thought him to be than the average RRer wishes he could be.
Pretty fast, pretty good fielder, pretty good strikerer outer..
Mads is happy that Laynce continues to play and do well, happy that the Reds have won 3 in a row…
But I am still curmudgeon when it comes to prospects…I don’t see minor league stats transferring all that readily to MLB…I hope Stubbs gets going it would be nice and all…but right now he’s not as effective or as valuable as C-Dick…

I’m not worried about Stubbs. He’s clearly not comfortable and looks very tentative in the field, which is where he supposedly excels. He’s got to get past this growing period and win the job in spring training. He’ll be alright. He hit a ground rule double the other day that cleared the fence as he was steps from second base. Dude’s got some serious wheels.

Serious wheels:
Corey Patterson
Wily Taveris
I want somebody who can get on base to lead off for this team.
Hopefully Stubbs will develop.

I just got home from work and caught the highlights on MLB.com
Hilarious! They gave MvDonald a double for that? Braun makes Adam Dunn look like Willie Mays.
