For the second time this series, the Reds will be facing a pitcher who is making his first start since coming off of the disabled list. Dave Bush went on the DL on June 23rd with a right arm injury and has made 4 rehab starts in the minors prior to today's game, but he hasn't gone a full 5 innings in a game since June 10th. After consecutive extra inning games that have to have the Brewer bullpen a bit tired, it would be wise of the Reds hitters to be patient against Bush and at least make him throw an extra couple of pitches in each at bat. That way, if they can't get to him on their own, maybe they might have a shot at finding a tired pitcher in the Brewers' pen.
Justin Lehr slipped up a bit on Saturday against the Pirates. Unfortunately, I feel like that is likely to start being the norm with Lehr. It's probably for the best though. He's okay as a spot starter called up from Triple-A in an emergency, but the last thing this team needs if they want to be a winner is a pitcher like Lehr winning a spot in the rotation next season. I don't think we're at risk for that, but if he manages to put 6-8 solid starts together, I could see that talk starting up.
A win today and the Reds will match their longest winning streak of the season at 4 games. Sadly, this is only their 5th 3-game win streak of the season. There really aren't many ways you can look at this team without them looking bad, are there?
Time to close out the 2nd road series sweep of the year, and the third sweep overall! Go Reds!

10 games up on the Nationals, 6.5 up on the Royals
It aint’ happening.
Honestly, I’d prefer they went on a 20-5 run than for them to tank. They aren’t getting a top 2 pick, so I’d much rather they were fun to watch.

I agree
I’d prefer to have ome watchable baseball that gives some hope for the future of the team. They’d have to throw games, I think, to ctach up to the Nats. I could be wrong though.
i don't want Wells and Lehr to suceede
they could get hot for the rest of the season, convince management that they are potential number 5 starters, and we see this rotation opening day next year.

I see a lot of quotes
from scouts/execs who think Harper has been a bit over-hyped. They don’t deny his tools or his potential, but he is going to need a lot of polishing and isn’t going to be a Strasburg-type talent.

Harper sounds like an arrogant punk who thinks he's got a one-way ticket to Cooperstown.
his cockiness in that SI article made me want to puke. i don’t want to draft him and have to go through all that contract drama. he’s going to demand A-Rod money with Scott Boras steering the ship. it’s going to be a shit show.

As much as I like seeing Gomes and Balentien in the lineup
Was Dusty worried that Nix would hit yet another home run?
He's not due anymore.
This lineup is probably as good as it could be, besides Tatum.
Lehr’s probably gonna get torn up today though.
strange, especially against an RHP
it’s probably because right-handed hitters have a .304 avg against Bush this year, compared to just .246 for LHB.

Interesting fact
Reds faced Dave Bush back on May 30th. The only Reds player on the ACTIVE roster today to have an AB against Dave Bush in that game is Brandon Phillips. The Reds roughed up Bush that day getting 5 runs in 4 innings, but unfortunately bad Aaron was worse dropping 8 runs in 4+ innings.
Kind of sad, isnt it?

Use shuttlecraft or jetpack to reach eastern-middle North America. See that jutting land-thingy? That’s the Eastern Shore of Maryland. We’re slightly west of that past the Chesapeake Bay. If you survive the extremely high temperatures of reentry and manage to reach land, use the above directions for ground transport. Good luck, brave space people!

I am not surprsied at Dusty's line up.
He continues to play the game ‘the right way’
But really how can you not play Laynce Nix ?
Stubbbs needs to get his PA’s but so does Laynce IMHO.
Nix could have easily started in CF and given Stumps a break in the K cycle.
And of course Jannish continues to occupy #2.
Why not Scott Rolen…he actually hits the ball out of the infield.
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.
George Carlin
In this lineup, I wouldn't mind seeing Janny down to 7, Rolen 2, and everyone else bumped up.
But that’s because we have Wlad and Gomes in.
So Rolen would play SS??

Laynce Nix
He’s almost 29, and he has over 1200 career MLB PAs that we can look at to see what we’ve got. He is what he is (which is a lifetime .239/.279/.422 hitter)
Drew Stubbs is almost 25, and has 34 career MLB PAs so far. He needs as big a sample size as possible for the rest of the year to see if he can play next year.
We’re not going to know anything about him if he only gets 75 ABs

Does Dusty ,keep his job at the end of the year?
Granted big injury issues, and the unforseen decline of Harang play a major role, but Id call this season a major disappointment for the Reds.
Lord knows you dont want Dusty Baker at the helm of a young pitching staff.
Yeah, I don't think Lehr is going to slip a fastball down the middle
past Prince Fielder.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
WOW!
You couldn’t hear the crack of the bat, but you could hear the crowd: OOOOOOOO! like a fireworks show
"Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!"
I was thinking the same thing
that complete game he threw against the Cubs was one of the most fun I’ve seen. I’m not giving up on the sweep yet
Pujols is ever so slightly below his season average and OBP against the Reds,
but his SLG against the Reds is much higher than his season average.
Still, he’s hit other teams harder.
Pujols has 5
in 56 PAs.
Prince Fielder has 7 in 64 PAs after that one in the first inning.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
This is a no hitter right now
The first task should be to at least break tha up. Then get rid of the hutout opportunity. Preerably that all happens on one swing when Gomes hit a grandslam
From the Milwaukee broadcast team...
Dusty Baker saying before the game that he wants his young outfielder to be more aggressive early in the count. That he is taking too many pitches.
So begins the demise of Drew Stubbs…

I worked for The Rendon Group
They’re contracting this work out to a private p.r. outfit called The Rendon Group, which has come under fire before for its work in the Iraq war.
In case you're curious, TRG's statement
(which from experience is way more accurate and honest than the CNN spin!) http://www.rendon.com/comment_afghanistan.php
This is the most relevant quote, and from experience I can tell you it’s true.
Positive to Neutral coverage could mean that it contains stories that are either neutral to or positive to a specific military objective (stability, security, captures, etc). Conversely, Neutral to Negative coverage could indicate that content in stories were negative in relation to mission objectives (kidnapping, suicide bombing, etc).
Meaning
The pos/neg/neu ratings aren’t related to manipulating journalists. The quote in the CNN article about feeding reporters quotes from brass is probably something written by an intern that didn’t know what (s)he was doing.
You assume the statement is true
The Pentagon has been keeping encyclopedic information on journalists for a long time, including the “flavor” of their coverage. There is plenty of history of them manipulating coverage through access, et cetera. Ditto for film makers, activists, politicians.
All this winning kind of killed the thread, didn't it?

Seriously, I don’t know if he falls in the “non-white hispanic” category or not. I think Dusty lumped “latinos” in his comments about playing in the heat.
I honestly thought he was white as the driven snow
He’s from Petaluma, CA, which has a 14.64% Latino population, but also an 84.16% white population. I just don’t know what to think.

Crazy stuff I learned from his wikipedia page
Gomes was born and raised in Petaluma, California. He was an all-league at Casa Grande High School in his hometown of Petaluma. As a seventeen-year-old in May 1997, he was a passenger in a car accident that killed his best friend, Adam Westcott. Gomes, who was sitting next to Westcott in the back seat, was only slightly injured. Gomes has Westcott’s initials tattooed on his right biceps.
After graduating in 1999, he went to Santa Rosa Junior College before being selected in the 18th round of the 2001 MLB Draft by the (then) Tampa Bay Devil Rays. While he was in the rookie leagues, he was certified to become a personal trainer. His older brother, Joey Gomes, currently plays for the Edmonton Capitals, of the Golden Baseball League . The family name “Gomes” is Portuguese in ancestry.
Gomes suffered a heart attack on Christmas Eve, 2002, the result of a clogged artery, despite being in playing condition (he reported having 8% body fat at the time). He ignored the symptoms for 27 hours, even sleeping through it one night, before going to the hospital after he briefly blacked out and stopped breathing. His doctors said he would not have survived a second night. As a result of the heart attack, the Rays’ team doctor had to keep nitroglycerin pills on-hand in case Gomes suffered a second heart attack.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Is he Latino?
I thought the name was Portuguese.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
See, I've never completely understood the white-latino distinction
If you’re from Spain or Portugal, you’re white, but if you’re of Spanish or Portugese descent but live in South America, you’re latino? Never made sense to me.
just goes to show
Race is a social construct, not a biological one.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
And I do love Gomes
It’s not a terrible move, baseball-wise. I just don’t like having McDonald on the team, and I don’t like him coming in for Jon-Jon.

Hey Gang;
Snuck away at work to check on the gaem. Wow.

Boy was i wrong about Jannish…at least today…getting the job done at #2. Hell everyone is in on it except Wadmore Balentine…and Taintum who hasn’t had a hit like ib 23 ABs.
If only Laynce had gotten the start over Wad. although I know Dusty has to check him out. but Laynce may be back to his stride after being hurt and stuff.
Go reds

Didn’t you guys offer him 4/42 or thereabouts? it would be reasonable to assume nobody would top that.
cool
this was a great game, so I’m looking forward to it (and I missed portions of it due to a necessary dog food pick up)
Did you lose your dog?
Is your plan to sit there crying and eating can after can of dog food until your tears smell enough like dog food to lure your dog back?

How’d my boy Janish do?

I like that you're leaving us in suspense about this.

definitely
two doubles and a walk. I’d say that second double might have been the most key hit of the game. A out 2 RBI double is impressive
wow
Dusty’s obviously a genius, putting him in the two-hole!
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
it would seem so!
Janish has really been great at the plate recently. It’s not just lucky hits, either because he has been working walks and having good at-bats.
I know it can’t last (given his career potential) but it’s been great and he makes alot of web gems. In short, he is as good as Gonzo

Way to damn the poor kid with faint praise, Poodle.
You ever been to the South side of Milwaukee?
But Votto was 3 for 4
with a walk, a double, and a home run, which is why this is a tough choice.
Janish did make at least one impressive (and important) defensive play, which helps his cause.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
those are such sweet numbers
but Janish hit that double when it was absolutely necessary. I’ll be curious to see what Brendanukkah goes with. There isn’t usually much debate on who is the star of the game! That means we had a good day lol
Even though I'm sceptical about the Rolen trade
and think it’s ultimately a negative deal (at least from a salary standpoint and potential playing time) he has really helped out these last few games. It’s nice to have someone like him batting 5th.
Mark Sheldon reports that the Reds are expected to call up Matt Maloney to start on Saturday.

Gray...its been move up a level
Pretty much all the good AAA are playing AAAA for the Reds.
How about that Jannish, once again. I didn’t think he had it in him. Of course this run through is a very small sample size, but christ on a Cornstalk if this kid could hit .250 with an .290OBP – with his defense and arm…I don’t want to get carried away but wouldn’t it be lovely.
LOVELY

Rejoice!
