Game 145 Thread: Astros at Reds

Houston Astros at Cincinnati Reds, Sep 15, 2009 7:10 PM EDT



Next Game

Houston Astros
@ Cincinnati Reds

Tuesday, Sep 15, 2009, 7:10 PM EDT
Great American Ball Park

Roy Oswalt vs Kip Wells

Partly cloudy. Winds blowing in from left field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game time temperature around 80.

 

Complete Coverage >



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Roy Oswalt 8-6 4.03 1.24 135 42



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Kip Wells 1-2 4.11 1.34 21 19


Roy Oswalt has as many losses in just 2 starts against Kip Wells as he does in 29 starts against the Reds.  Maybe the Reds have found their Oswalt stopper?  Actually, the shine could be off of ol' Roy O already as he has failed to get a win in 3 starts against the Reds this season.  In fact, the Astros are just 1-2 in those three games.  Has the spell been broken?

After losing 23 of 30 to the Astros in 2007 and 2008, the Reds have won 8 of 11 and a win tonight will capture the season series for the Reds for the first time since 2006.  The Reds have also won 5 games in a row at home, their longest home win streak since winning 9 in a row at home in May, 2008.

The roster news for tonight is that Laynce Nix will be back in the lineup.  He has been reactivated from the DL and is playing LF this evening.  Embarrassed by the lack of "Y" in his name, Lance Berkman was a late scratch from the lineup.  Jay Bruce is also back in the lineup tonight.

Just 17 more wins to capture the first winning season since 2000.  It's an exciting time to be a Reds fan!

I feel very confident with Kip Wells going up against Oswalt. Maybe I’ll invade Russia in the dead of winter.

I saw a group (including a girl!) playing Magic: the gathering at school today. They thought I was making fun of them when I expressed interest. I guess the boat shoes threw them off from my inner nerdiness

I'm really curious

about what they’re going to do with the outfield next year.

Are they really going to keep Taveras? Probably, since he’s getting so much money. Roster’s going to be crowded with outfielders, though, unless players are nontendered or traded.

Ouch,

My neighbor is a Vol. We have a bet this year about the Vols. v. Dawgs game. If Tennessee wins, I have to wear one of my wife’s dresses that happens to be that sissy-assed Tennessee orange for the rest of the day as we go to redneck bars. If the Dawgs win (when they win), he has to wear my wife’s Georgia red, 5 inch pumps, black leg warmers and red skirt to those same bars.

So, I was sick, either because I drank too much or because I’m lactose intolerant. Probably both, though. I threw up both before and after a job interview that morning, btw.

They're not really in the thick of the chase

It’s pretty much over in the AL East. Even the wildcard looks pretty much settled.

But the post-season is a different story, as you no doubt know. Having a strong starting rotation is the name of the game there. The Yankees’ starting pitching is questionable. Joba is on a strict pitch count, which lately has meant he’s left after three innings. They’re supposed to be stretching him out, but he’s not pitching all that well. Pettitte has shoulder pain and they’re skipping his next start. AJ is scarily inconsistent. Like the girl with the curl, when he’s good, he’s very good, when he’s bad, he’s horrid. Sabathia has been solid, but some are worried that he can’t hack it in the post-season. In any case, they need more than one reliable starter.

Don't forget the great classic baseball movies:

and of course Monty Stratton lives again.

The Sandlot doesn't suck

I agree that “you’re killin’ me smalls” is overused by douchebags everywhere, but in my opinion that film represents a true love of baseball, especially for those of us whom it took a little more effort to find our niche. I could connect with the kid in the movie, loving the game so much yet not quite having the physical talent to make it far. I was fortunate enough to be around many baseball announcers who in an overall sense struck me the same way.

  The Sandlot is a simple movie, aimed at a simple feeling. I happen to have that ideological love of baseball where “anything can happen”, where we’ll drop the hammer on the kids who think they’re better than us, and most of all, we’ll have the best time of our lives doing it. God I wish I had the pure innocent love of baseball that I had at ten years old.

That’s what that movie represents.

basebrawl

Bench-clearing brawl in the Bronx. Melancon is always wild, and tonight he plunked a Jay. Not intentional. He’s just a kid with no control. But the Jays took it personal. Threw behind Posada. Wrong guy to throw at. He’s a big-time red ass. He ended up scoring…and elbowed the pitcher as he crossed the plate. Posada was ejected immediately, but instead of leaving, he charged the pitcher and tackled him like an NFL linebacker. Benches cleared. Girardi was in the middle of it, and will probably have a black eye tomorrow. Joba and CC were in the middle of it, too. Jeter was as well, but he was trying to stop the fight.

I think the funniest thing was seeing Edwar Ramirez dragging Rod Barajas away. Edwar weighs about 150 lbs soaking wet. He looks like he’d float away in a stiff breeze. And he was holding back the 250 lb, kicking, swearing, punching Barajas.
