ok Homer
time to throw a grounder
"I don't challenge Murphy, even if he's 0 for 20. Not him, not ever." - Mario Soto
Albert would have hit that pitch to the moon.
Cannot repeat that one.
A Pete Rose by any other name would still smell of cheap hookers and pinetar.
this kind of scares me

i posted that in the other thread before i realized there was a new thread
Time to bring back Pete .... Pete Mackanin that is.
It's appropriate it was posted twice,
since he said it twice. And I’m pretty sure he didn’t make the connection at all.

brantley wouldn't know a pun if it was covered in BBQ sauce and ice cream

that is a strike today on anyone else

and he swung through it, so... it was good

now what Dusty?
do you walk him?
"I don't challenge Murphy, even if he's 0 for 20. Not him, not ever." - Mario Soto
Too many this early in the season.
A Pete Rose by any other name would still smell of cheap hookers and pinetar.
im old school
go to a 4man rotation and let them stretch their arm out. he’s now past the majority of the injury nexus and he should be ready for an increased workload.
i think the stat geek 100+ pitches thing is weak ass BS. take out someone who has thrown 30 pitches in an inning? sure. but 120 over 6 2/3 isnt overly taxing.
"then skip it"....
I'm for what is most effective.
That decision by Dusty did not have a positive result. Pitch count limits are situational from my point of view as well, but again, this was a shit decision.
A Pete Rose by any other name would still smell of cheap hookers and pinetar.
agree to disagree
i hated him letting Cueto hit before the rain delay last evening MUCH MUCH more.
"then skip it"....
why do you not go ahead and put him on?
"I don't challenge Murphy, even if he's 0 for 20. Not him, not ever." - Mario Soto
Don't let him beat you with a base open
A Pete Rose by any other name would still smell of cheap hookers and pinetar.
maybe leaving Homer in against Pujols
at 120 pitches wasn’t a good idea.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
i had no beef with that
he wasn’t laboring.
i’d much rather see someone get pulled in the 5th inning after 110 pitches if they’re straining.
"then skip it"....
no
Dusty fucking shit the bed.
Greatest hitter in the game against a guy making his 121st pitch with a runner in scoring position?
HOW IS THAT A GOOD DECISION?
I hate Dusty Baker so goddamn much.
counterargument
Holliday just smoked one of the first pitches from Fisher.
i go with the best arms against the best hitters. Homer > Fisher all day everyday…
"then skip it"....
Surprisingly, obc is right
Bailey was still hitting 95 with his fastball, the breaking ball was still working. The stuff that Bailey had today is better than anyone in that bullpen by far, the only exception being Cordero and you can’t bring him in here. That wasn’t a bad call.
It wasn’t a good pitch by Homer, either. But blame where blame is due.

Would the run have scored without the steal (or was it a wild pitch)?

It was a steal + wild pitch.
If Hanigan gloves it, it takes a perfect throw to get him because Bailey wasn’t paying attention.

When will they learn?
Homer well up over 100 pitches and facing Pujols.
You cannot beat Albert Pujols. You just walk him every. Single. Time. How is this so hard?
Phone's ringing, Dude.
I agree
don’t let the man beat you. Although the 100 pitches didn’t bother me
"I don't challenge Murphy, even if he's 0 for 20. Not him, not ever." - Mario Soto
They act as if it has never happened before or never will again.
They act surprised when it happens.
He beats them every single time. They put up the excuse that Holliday is right behind him. Yeah, Holliday, who is hitting 50+ points less than Pujols and isn’t a Reds killer. When will they ever learn?
Phone's ringing, Dude.
double switched the catcher

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I figured you'd all be railing on Dusty here
I thought it was the right call. Bad execution.
You can’t come into this inning nibbling like Homer did. Too much off speed junk out of the strike zone early in the count. Hr had Pujols there and picked the wrong time to go fastball. Just bad pitch selection (likely called from the bench).

he had him 1-2, iirc, I wouldn't call that nibbling

I didn't say he was nibbling to Pujols.
H went to 3 ball counts to hitters before Pujols. Albert should never have come up, and Homer should have beem at the 120 pitch mark for everyone here to be complaining about it.

stupid throw by Rolen there

I ddn't think it was that bad.
If Votto isn’t going to catch it, he could at least keep the ball from getting away and scoring the run.

Janish never plays.
Bruce has gotten plenty of shit, and Votto is pretty fucking awesome. Even his defense has improved. But if he deserves it, IMO, I sure as shit will give him hell. I just don’t think he deserved it there.

That's not what they changed it to though.
They said base hit, E5 advances Pujols to home. That’s not what it was. The throw beat him, hell, it could even be an E3.
it was a good infield hit
that Rolen should have held. The error was the wide bouncing throw that then allowed Pujols to score

A ball in the dirt makes it a throwing error
but yeah, Votto should have done everything possible to keep the ball in front of him. Rolen should have kept the ball in his pocket.
I hate Dusty Baker so goddamn much.
You're right.
If it’s in the dirt they automatically give the error on the throw.

Stubbs took 2 pitches in that at bat that were balls and swung at one pitch, and was called out at strikes.

but Dusty must get 120 out of Homer?
That is my problem with Dusty. Dusty has to wait for his starting pitcher to either reach 110 pitches, or blow up before he takes him out. He can’t just let his starter throw a 90 pitch game, and let a relief pitcher start the next inning.
I hate Dusty Baker so goddamn much.

I see that this is the thing where you mean one thing, and say the opposite.
Oh, yes, irony.
This team wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for all the losing.
Lincoln vs. Pujols
This isn’t even fair.

Lincoln in
The Reds have officially thrown in the towel.
I can hear Dusty blaming it on the fact that his bullpen is tired.
Yeah, Lincoln is the guy I want up in this situation.
Seriously. You couldn’t just leave DRH in?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
hey Lincoln
try not to get killed

no wonder they swing at so many horseshit pitches. Never know what’s gonna be called a strike.

FUCKING HIT PUJOLS FOR THAT LITTLE CLAP
YEAH THE PITCHER CAN’T FIND THE PLATE, I COULD HAVE DRAWN A WALK YOU DON’T FUCKING CLAP ON THAT YOU PIECE OF SHIT. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME A REASON TO HATE YOU.
I hate Dusty Baker so goddamn much.
THAT'S the reason why you hate Pujols?

Dear Walt
Can we please release Lincoln now? And fire the guy who Lincoln is sleeping with? And if that guy is not Dusty, can we fire Dusty too?
What exactly is your job?
well, guess there's no need to watch the rest of this one
Running out to frontyard laughing! -Fat Vegas Alan
You know what, Dusty?
Fuck you for not knowing how to use a fucking bullpen.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
hopefully we will see the CG machine tomorrow
I dont’ feel any more comfortable with Owings than Lincoln right now.
I hate Dusty Baker so goddamn much.

this all happened because Laynce Nix doesn't know how to field a fucking flyball
Drew Stubbs ran 100 feet and almost caught it, but Nix couldn’t move 30 feet… fuck
I'm out
see ya kids

Ugh, I think it might be time to let this one go and save the bullpen for tomorrow.
This team wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for all the losing.
Why not Harang, as well, now that you mention it?

Owings keeps throwing that pitch
and he’s just not going to get the call.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I think it's time for another pitching change!!

Yeah, which makes me wonder...
Given the strike zone weirdness, might it have been a horrible idea to switch out Hanigan for Hernandez?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I blame this entirely on you.

Is that too much to ask?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
It was when he came in.
A Pete Rose by any other name would still smell of cheap hookers and pinetar.
well, not of record
but he was pitching the top of the inning when it became tied, and then came back in after the cardinals regained the lead
Nope.
He’s in line for the win now.

Don't worry, Welsh said the same thing.

I have been growing a horrible snot-catcher.

the Cards annoucner seem to think he appeared to hurt his wrist
which prompted that double switch.

wow

That's the word from the radio booth.
That’s why they took him out, apparently.
by the finest muffins on May 1, 2010 4:40 PM EDT up reply actions
and here I thought
It was because he walked two players in a row, and walked a run in.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
sadly, no
I think he would have stayed in there – remember, Bryan Price is the one who went out, not Dusty.

no official update yet?
And is Hanigan all right? It really is weird for the second catcher to be the first guy off the bench. He’s usually the last.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
No one said anything about an injury to Hanigan.
He had just batted, and the pitcher’s spot was due up next. It’s possible it was a simple double switch, even if it was an inadvisable one.
by the finest muffins on May 1, 2010 4:55 PM EDT up reply actions
I thought it was odd that Price made the change
but I remember Dick Pole making a move or two also.
I hate Dusty Baker so goddamn much.

and, um, what about Hanigan?
I find it really odd that a manager would burn his second catcher that way.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I really, really hope it wasn't some sort of punishment for the WP from when Pujols was batting.
That would be silly. Then again, I wouldn’t put it past Dusty.

to clarify, the WP that got away from him and went to the backstop.

+6 inches in every direction for reds hitters
-6 for Cardinals hitters
duhhh home field advatnaggeeee
Nothing ever changes with these Reds hitters.
This team played like shit today. Absolute fucking shit. Wasted effort by Homer.
I don't lnow if that's true
I think they fought pretty hard—much better effort than I saw in that Padres shutout
it was an aggravating game, there is no doubt about that
I just don’t think they quit and played terribly like they did in that Padres game. I was alot angrier after the blown save to the Pirates too
Wow, way to go out without a fight, gentlemen.
"There is no such thing as an innocent Gatorade cooler."
yeah
i mean he could have at least sprinted towards first base since that ball was in the dirt.
This team makes me so bipolar.
I hate Dusty Baker so goddamn much.
i need a good movie to watch tonight
suggestions?

So... seems like it was ok to miss this one...
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
accoring to the Fay
The reason Dusty left Homer in against Pujols is that he wanted Homer to get the win.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
So the craziest thing happened to me at the bar tonight
my buddy and I went out to the Hopleaf, and we go in, and see two empty bar stools at the bar. We sit down, and there is a lady standing there with 5 Cubs tickets just sitting on the bar. She looks at me and asks if we would like to go to the Cubs game tomorrow, and I was a little confused and said “what?” and she said would like to go to the Cubs game tomorrow. She gave us 3 free field level tickets first row tickets. It turns out she is a season ticket holder and can’t go tomorrow and didn’t want the tickets to go to waste, so I am going to Wrigley tomorrow for free. I tried to buy her and her husband/boyfriend/fiance/friend/gay-friend a drink, but they wouldn’t accept it.
I hate Dusty Baker so goddamn much.
So...what was it that was attractive about her?
Was it the bulge in the front of her skirt, or the ever so sexy bump in her throat?
When you come to the fork in the road, take it.

The Enquirer had an interesting article about Votto's hitting
It sounds like he works alot. I know alot of hitters have a plan against certain pitchers, but I guess I never realized how detailed a plan can be. It also makes me wonder if alot of guys go up there just hacking and hope for the best.
