Houston Astros at Cincinnati Reds, Sep 16, 2009 7:10 PM EDT
|
|
|
Here's a fun stat for you: The Reds are 8-5 in games started by Justin Lehr and Kip Wells. They are 58-74 in all other games. If these guys had started every game for the Reds this season, they'd have 89 wins right now. That's a fact.
Both of these pitchers will be facing the opposition for the first time tonight. Yorman Bazardo is a 24-year old right-hander who had decent, though not great, numbers in the minors this season. Tonight's start for him will be his 3rd in the majors this season and his 5th big league start of his career. I predict 6 innings of 3-hit ball.
Lehr hasn't had a whole lot of success over his last 4 starts. He's pitched just 23.1 inning in 4 games and has a 7.71 ERA over that span. The key for him is his control. When he's not walking hitters, he doesn't fair too poorly. Unfortunately, he hasn't had much control in his last 4 starts.
Just 16 more wins until we reach the coveted winning season! It's gonna happen! You just gotta believe!

This week makes for a lot of movement in the pool. Brian B’s lead is losing serious ground. Making a cursory guesstimate, it looks like my mom and me, in that order, are nipping at his heels. Bereavement post to follow shortly.

BTW can you all believe that ol’ Mads is presently leading the Futbowl soccer league…
after such a tough year with the Might Monks baseballers it is rewarding to have my hard work pay off.
And Fario Go Butch is looking good in the one Football league while Bongo-Bong is poised to compete it the other league…
Oh BTW the Reds will win tonight…you can count on it.

I was a student at IU
when Brand fired Bobby Knight. 15,000 students riotted and fucked up campus. One frat carried a 700 lbs concrete statue over 1000 yards from Sherwalter fountian to Assembly Hall. The crowd did not disperse until Knight gave a speech asking everyone to go home peacefully. The guy that got him fired lived on my floor in the dorm and we actually hung out with him the first few days of school, he was one of 3 identical triplets. After he got Knight fired they had to move to Hawaii becasue of death threats.
One of the craziest events I have ever witnessed.

The more I think about it, the more it bothers me. The White Sox AND the Cubs both had longer droughts. The Red Sox only had the third longest drought, and the other two teams that had gone longer without winning were both in the same city! But did Chicagoans make nearly the fuss, even though they had much better reason to? No.

best coaching visit for 2009
back to back home runs- coaching visit- 6 pitches 2 ks.
That must have been some quality wordsmithing by Mr. Pole.

That sounds about right
Last Reds pitcher to give up 5 HRs in a game was Brandon Claussen on July 18, 2005 vs. Cubs. Lehr has tied the club record.
Definitely a good argument.

Dusty said he was going to play Hanigan every day. But he seems to have fallen into the black hole Janish escaped from. Why would Dusty say he was going to play him if he wasn’t? I gotta think he’s injured or something.

Anyone notice that
Willy T went on the DL on August 15th with the “hamstring” injury and he hasn’t been brought back yet? Do you think that Walt is actually Dusty-proofing teh line-up?
by Dave from Louisville on Sep 16, 2009 10:08 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yes
I think the DL stint was punishment for Willy not hustling. The Reds hadn’t made that quick a decision on the DL all year.

I like this move by Walt
And I actually thought it was punishment for being horrible at baseball.
Although he didn’t give the job to Stubbs, keeping Willy T and his “veternness” on the DL movivates Stubbs to steal the job. Let’s not forget that Stubbs moved slow in the system and many people thought he was a bust.
I say Stubbs is our full-time CF and lead-off hitter next year.

Don't hold your breath DAve
All of the important guys:
Brantley, Doc Rogers, sMarty, Walt and Dusty all say that Stubbs:
1. Has too many hol;es in his swing
2. Strikes out too much
3. Doesn’t produce RBIs
4. Can’t Bunt
5. Refuses to date Dusty’s daughter

Anothyer win for the Reds..they’re pretty good when the pressure is off and the opposing pitchers suck..but hey a win is a win and speaking of winning/….
THe BAMM Team bowled its way to a 7 point sweep tonight
I must admit my contributions were marginal although I bowled a 181 in the last game.
Meanwhile what the doggone heck is going on with dusty…I guess it must early ST..Taintum playing, no Jay Bruce…Gomes removed..
Well sorry I missed the festivities…

Back--I was at the Park for this one
The Reds have nbow won the last 4 games I’ve attended. I should dorp everything and go down for the next few.
There is a problem for me, though. Each time I come back I feel guilty for something I yelled. 5 homeruns can make you a little off-color.
It’s greatto see a sweep. Phillips did great, Votto did well, Stubbs was strong. Brantley can take his talk somehwere else. We should probably trade him for his weight in barbecue which would be an impressive 700+ pounds.

I can't even remember
I just have the vague feeling I should be ashamed for some things like kindly asking Kaz Matsui to return to the Japanese league and calling for the swift removal of Lehr.
I actually like Lehr, but those 5 homeruns just really were too much. Brendanukkah has shown in the recap that it tied a club lead!
Also, yelling at umpires. I know they’re doing their jobs, but I can’t help but get upset with them.
I think it’s mainly realizing that some little kids may have heard some colorful language that makes me feel a little guilty.
I don’t hold a candle to the Lance Bekman hecklers though. Tonight, there was a Hunter Pence heckling crowd. I think they got to him a little bit.

I actually said I wish he’d go back to the Japanese league, so we wouldn’t have to deal with him. I also said something about Lehr going back to Korea, so I think that probably sounded a bit racist too lol
