Double-header today and the good news is that even if the Reds lose both games, they won't be in last place. Yay.
They'll be facing 26-year old rookie Daniel McCutchen who will be making his first big league start today. The right-hander was acquired last season from the Yankees in the deal that sent Xavier Nady to the Bronx. McCutchen reportedly has decent stuff (fastball sits around 90 MPH, excellent curveball, okay changeup), but he has outstanding control. That definitely shows up in the numbers as he's walked under 2 batters per 9 IP in his minor league career. He's not a high strikeout pitcher, but the 7.5 per 9 IP looks good next to those low walk totals. He has been prone to the giving up the long ball from time to time, but he's managed to control those more this year. Don't be surprised if the Reds struggle with him because, well, he's a pitcher who will be on the mound while they bat.
Former Pirate Kip Wells faces his old team for the first time as a Red (he faced them twice with the Cardinals). Wells was actually a solid pitcher with the Pirates, posting a 36-53 record with a 4.20 ERA (102 ERA+) in 5 seasons in the Steel City. Of course, he's gone 9-23 with an ERA around 5.75 since leaving Pittsburgh, but that's no reason not to put him your starting rotation, right? Honestly, I really have no desire to see Kip Wells pitching for the Reds. However, given the inevitable tiredness that we'll see from the bullpen because of the last week's worth of extra inning games and the double-header today, I hope that he pitches 7 lights out innings and saves this staff from imminent doom. And then I hope he's sent down to make room for Johnny Cueto in game 2.
The Reds went 4-2 since they last saw the Pirates. The Pirates went 2-4 since they last saw the Reds. Now is the time to put some distance between 5th and 6th place. Man, that really sounds pathetic.

First!
I hope this afternoon’s game gives me some hope for tonight.
"If it wasn't this, it'd be something else."
Damn
I just had an old reflex when I saw the starters. My mind’s eye caught that it was the Pirates and we were facing Kip Wells and I felt relief. Hell yes, we’re gonna get well today. Then, reality set in.

When Kip Wells started getting passed around the league
I remember thinking that there was no way in the world that he’d be out of the league before making a start for the Reds. It was inevitable.
One of the most interesting aspects of Reds fandom is the absolute knowledge that, sooner or later, every mediocre to bad MLB player just trying to hang on will get a run out in our jersey.

Dave Duncan might be looking for a new job!
Will you stop it with the vegetables
interesting
What does that mean, about the media driving his son Chris out of town? The Sox released him a week ago, and no one else has signed him, which suggests that maybe he just sucks.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Time for the Reds to sign Chris then
Then sign Shelley to a minor league deal with an invite in the off-season. Anything that might lure Duncan here and send Mr. Penis Joke out the door.

Doc Rogers talked at length about Duncan's frustration and anger with St. Louis yesterday after the game.
It seems he was in Walt’s ‘inner circle’ (according to Doc) at St. Louis but with the organizational changes going on over there he doesn’t even have input into how minor league pitchers are being developed And he has no input on new pitchers that are being considered to be brought on board at the MLB level. He is really pissed. Also the idea that he is joined at the hip with LaLoser is not enough to keep him in Cardinal land.
My guess is that the Cards will suck up to him enough to try and keep him but I wouldn’t at all be surprised to see Duncan testing the waters. One problem with the Reds hiring him is that Duncan is all about winning.
The other problem is that the Reds have a steller pitching coach in Dick Pole….
Doc overhead this conversationbetween Billy Hatcher and Pole:
Hatcher: Hey Dick, word’s out that Dave Duncan might be looking for a new gig…"
Dick Pole “Nah, he just got traded to the Red Sox”
Hatch" "HooooooooooKaaay…(under breath) – ‘moron’..

Please someone bring him to the Reds. I’d stash his son as a 5th outfielder on the roster if that would do it.

Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died...
I'll let Dave Duncan's son bang my mentally ill sister.

Janish will probably play game 2

I’m wondering if Darnell will play game 2 as well. CF is usually a position where they don’t like to play the same guy in both halves of a doubleheader.

Maybe they’re saving Janish for the bullpen.

Pirates should feel comfortable
that also means the one guy who is yelling throughout the whole game can be heard clearly.
I will say this
I still don’t like the trade… but I really do like seeing Scott Rolen in a Reds uniform.
Also, I saw that Edwin went on the DL… he’s had a rough year.
I think Rolen is turning out to be a very good acquisisiton.
I have a feeling of expectation when he’s at bat…I expect him to at least make contact and in an RBI situation I have an expectation that he can get thejob done. I neverhad that feeling with EdE.

Fisher in a close game. I guess there aren’t a ton of other options, but still…
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Was listening on the radio earlier
when Marty was talking to teh Fay. Anyways, they said that with the trade deadline at midnight tonight, the Reds could be doing a trade.
The observation was made that there were about 20 scouts in the stands. Also, Marty claimed that he talked to Tim Naehring who said that there was a good chance the Reds do some kind of trade today.

So, 20 scouts in the stands
and about 50 fans?

Dusty never gives up in extra inning games
He always fights tooth and nail to prolong the game as long as possible, burning as many possible players along the way. He never sees the valor in learning to run and “fight” another day by just ordering up the Ryan Franklin Special.
Which, I guess is commendable, but it’d be nice if he could get these games won in the traditional nine innings.
(Not that he wins in extras either.)

BP in for Sutton

Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Hanrahan definitely read the scouting report on BP
5 of the 6 pitches were sliders low and away. He might have walked if he hadn’t swung the bat.

Nice game for the Bats
Subbs, Sutton (did he ever actually play for the Bats..bet he did), Taintum and MCdoofus…The team is playing exciting baseball now. By exciting I mean we are in more games than not and winning more than not.
Votto needs a day off.I hope Nix is available to play in the night game.
But given that the team is doing OK – the average fan doesn’t just want to see winning baseball…they want veteran presence, star players and cheerleaders if you want to get them to the park.

Just got back I decided to go down for the day half
pretty fun game and the walk-off wild pitch was strange but great to see. The only rough spot is Votto’s day at the plate. He turned some beautiful double plays though.
I also found out that Rolen’s batting music is that “keep rollin;”song. I don’t know what to say about that.
need a pinch hitter because Nix is not available?
Maybe he will start half the game to give Votto a rest?

They’re sending Wells and Fisher down, keeping Ramirez up for a while, and the rotation is now Arroyo/Bailey/Lehr/Maloney/Cueto for the time being. I’d guess they bring back one of the two for relief help after the game too.
