The Song of Rolen! Reds win, 5-4.

Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Scott Rolen. Rolen was getting his customary rest in the day game following the night game, but entered in the ninth as a pinch hitter and socked a two run homer off Trevor Hoffman to tie the game. They're his Reds. He can't let them lose. Honorable mentions go to Marco Estrada and Casey McGehee.
Key Plays
- Homer Bailey's only true rough patch came in the first inning. After two quick outs, he gave up a home run to Ryan Braun, then a double to Prince Fielder and a run scoring single to Casey McGehee. Brewers lead, 2-0.
- Brand new leadoff hitter Chris Heisey walked to start the game for the Reds, and two outs later, the unstoppable Jonny Gomes drove him in with a double. Brewers lead, 2-1.
- Manny Parra was making an emergency spot start today, and was on a pitch count of roughly 80. By the fourth inning, the Reds had basically gotten him to that limit and he was starting to falter. Jay Bruce singled and stole second before Ryan Hanigan walked. Paul Janish moved them both up a base with a groundout, but then Homer Bailey struck out. Chris Heisey walked again to load the bases, but Brandon Phillips smashed the first pitch he saw towards Casey McGehee, who made a nice play to end the threat. Brewers lead, 2-1.
- Bailey had effectively shut down the Brewers, and in the eighth inning, Mike Lincoln came on in relief. After getting out Ricky Weeks, Alcides Escobar singled, and Lincoln walked Braun. Dusty went to the pen again and brought in Danny Ray Herrera, who clutchily struck out Prince Fielder. But then Dusty left him in to face the right handed Casey McGehee, who singled and scored Escobar. Dusty once again went to the bullpen and brought in Carlos Fisher. McGehee then stole second base, and perhaps rattled Fisher, because Carlos then threw a wild pitch and Braun scored. Brewers lead, 4-1.
- This three run lead seemed insurmountable, because brand new call up Marco Estrada had shut down the Reds for three innings in relief of Parra. However, in his fourth inning of work, Joey Votto finally got to him by smashing a home run that went on top of the boat in left field. Brewers lead, 4-2.
- With Fisher pitching a Cordero-esque ninth inning, the Reds were down to their last chance to pull some magic from their hat and hold on to first place for another day. Paul Janish singled off Trevor Hoffman to begin the inning, and then pinch hitter Scott Rolen stepped in for the Frisch's Big Boy Big Play of the Game. A home run to left center that tied the game! Reds fans were in disbelief over this swing in fortunes, but the inning wasn't over. Chris Heisey, who had a fine game, doubled and Brandon Phillips drew a walk. Then Joey Votto, who might have some words with Rolen over whose team this really is, hit the run-scoring, game-ending single. Reds win, 5-4, earning the series sweep and maintaining first place in the NL Central.
Other Notes
- The Reds have played three day games at home, besides Opening Day, and have won all of them on walk off hits. This was the tenth game (out of 23) that the Reds have won in their final at-bat.
- This was Trevor Hoffman's 999th appearance.
- Rolen is 6-13 against Hoffman, with four home runs.
- The Reds are now 23-12 in games in which Rolen plays this year. They are 0-4 when he doesn't play.
- The Reds are seven games over .500 for the first time since Jul. 1, 2006.

What a fun team to follow
I haven’t been this happy since they were 26-20 last season and i wasn’t embarrassed to admit to strangers I was a Reds fan. Much like Taveras’s value (he went 5 for 5 performance the night they went to 6 games over), that pride soon waned.
Hopefully, these guys can keep it up.
Everything about this team feels legit
Occasionally there’s some messiness, but someone else is there to pick up the slack. It is a really fun team to follow right now.
by Brendanukkah on May 18, 2010 5:12 PM EDT up reply actions
Looking for signs to be worried:
This team is 10-5 in one run games, 4-0 in extra innings. That can’t be expected to be sustainable.
The odds of the Reds continuing nails pitching and >4 R/G is really, really, low.
I wouldn’t bet on the Reds having 6-7 guys with 600 PAs as they’re on pace to do.
Other than that, I actually wouldn’t be surprised to see Gomes keep being effective. He’s having about the same season he had last year, and he could just be a late bloomer.
I won’t lie, I’m having as much fun as anyone else, but there’s nothing to get too rowdy over quite yet.

I posted the Baseball Prospectus musings about sustainability in today's game thread
Needless to say, when Scott goes down for 25 games in June or July, the Reds will be hurting.
on the bright side, at least the RR crowds can ooh and ahh over Janish. maybe he’s a late bloomer too.
We're just as likely to see Francisco or Frazier or Sutton get called up if Scott's injured
But don’t let that stop you from rooting for an injury to one of our best players.
Coem on, Ken
Pointing out Rolen is frequently injured and being frightened of it is “rooting for it.”

Well, from your post
it sounded like you want to see Janish play a stretch at third and do poorly so that certain posters here can eat crow. I’d much rather be wrong and my team succeed than the opposite. If you also think that way, you have a funny way of showing it.
No, I would want Scott to stay healthy
I just don’t think he will. The inevitable result of that, i think is to use Paul in his slot and that will make many of the commenters here happy,l because they want Paul to play.
it was win/win and I wasn’t even being sarcastic when i typed it. But, a reputation is hard to kick.
I do dream of a healthy Rolen for 145 games. That would be the height of awesome
I gotcha
But if Rolen goes on the DL, I’d be surprised if Dusty would start Janish at third the whole time. We’ll see.
good point. You'd think they would want to see Todd there too
just to see if he can cut it. That would be cool too
Also, if your point is that the love for Janish relative to Cabrera is wildly disproportionate,
I’ll point out that the vast majority of RRs favored the Cabrera deal when it was announced, even though it clearly meant that Janish would ride the pine. I haven’t been in the game threads much this year, but I’d be surprised if most RRs are truly up in arms over Cabrera starting over Janish.
Getting the majority of starts? No.
Although the way that Dusty has banished Janish to the Memory Hole is completely unnecessary. Especially when Janish hasn’t fucked up at all whenever he does play.

Maybe we should have a new poll, cuz
from the abuse I take and give, it would seem more RR’s would rather Janish start than Orlando
Dude seriously, let it go.
You know that half the time people are talking about Janish (“Janish would have gotten that”, “Janish would have hit a lead-off grand slam”) they are kidding. We all know he is not a good offensive player. He is an excellent defender. The only position his bat is barely good enough for is shortstop, (based on what he’s done in the minors, and the majors so far) and that’s if he’s playing gold glove caliber defense, and the Reds are hitting well enough to carry him.
Cabrera is below average defensively, and about average offensively (for a shortstop). We bitch about Cabrera here to vent when he does something bad. Cabrera is not as bad as we think he is, and not as good as the Reds announcers think he is. The truth is somewhere in between.The horse is dead, stop beating it for fuck’s sake.

I don't think there's a lot of flukishness to the individual offensive performances
The cathcers won’t get on base 40% of the time all year, and Rolen’s power has been a bit surprising. But most of the offensive performances are in line with reasonable pre-season expectations. Votto’s doing his thing (144 OPS+). BP is right about where he should be (101), and the trio of Rolen, Bruce and Gomes are at about 120. Gomes and Rolen may decline some, but Bruce could certainly improve, as could Stubbs. With Hanigan, Janish, and Heisey, there are reasonably equivalent subs.
The pitching is similar. Leake has certainly been a pleasant surprise, but the balance of the rotation should improve on what they’ve collectively done so far.
We’re at 23-16 now. To finish the season with 90 wins, the Reds would have to go 67-56 (54%). I think that’s doable.
Your 90 win Cincinnati Reds....
God that sounds so nice.

Wasn't the question
The games played are already in the books. If you flip a coin 100 times, the most likely outcome will be 50/50. Even if the last 20 times were all tails.
67 - 54 the rest of the way?
I don’t buy that one bit
by Highlifeman21 on May 21, 2010 10:52 AM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, I don't think we can use Scott Rolen that much...
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
I think also
that a lot of the OPS value this year has come from OBP relative to the past few years. And OBP is more important than SLG from a purely statistical perspective…one could argue that the Reds have a less “empty” OPS+ as the past few years.
This is what WAR/VORP/GWAR is for, though
"And then there was the USAID guy in Kandahar who drove a giant pink Cadillac, which the locals set on fire one day. If you wanted to destroy something symbolic during a riot, you just could not do better than that. Good stuff." - Ghosts of Alexander
Actually, the Reds are 4th in the league in SLG and 10th in OBP
Though they’re in a tight pack in the middle for team OBP. Playing around with the stats a little bit more, they’re near the bottom in GIDPs (but that’s all BP does!) and tied for third in Sac Flies. I hear they’re quite good at going 1st to 3rd as well.
How about this
Remember last year when they led all of baseball is sacrifice bunts? They have the third fewest in the NL this season! Also, they have the fourth highest percentage of base runners that score in the NL. They were last in the league in that category last year.
Not wasting outs helps. Driving in the runners that are on base helps too. Hopefully Dusty isn’t tempted to change the former and hopefully the Reds can maintain the latter.

I just saw some of the highlights...
The camera guy couldn’t even find Votto’s homer. Didn’t even come close. Perhaps I heard this wrong, but I believe the Brewers’ announcer made a comment along the lines of “the key is for Estrada, he didn’t walk him” … I’ve mentioned this before: I think this is a ridiculous line of reasoning, and I will never understand it. I’ll take a walk any day over the guaranteed run against my team. Anywhoo…
On Votto’s walk-off hit off the wall, why did Fielder cut the throw and not turn and fire? I mean, ballgame for sure if you hold it, might as well throw to the plate, no?

yeah
I think DRH v. Lefties is: .208/.275/.278
Colossus v. Lefties: .214/.283/.312
So DRH is the better LOOGY (and that way you can save Arthur for a whole inning if it goes into extras). I have no problem with DRH instead of Rhodes, I have a problem with him facing righties in close games.

That game was awesome! (Eyewitness report)
- Plenty of good seats were available. I sat on the third base side about 10 rows up for the first 2 innings
- After that, worked my way over to the first base side and sat with Pops Daniels and his 2 boys for a couple of innings. We were disappointed in the lack of Red Reporters in attendance.
- We both are very happy with Jay Bruce, Joey Votto, and Jonny Gomes. It was nice to share that.
- Pops’ boys (ages 4 and 2 – Happy birthday, Gus!) know more about baseball than some of the callers that I heard calling into Mo Eggers’ show on the way home.
- Votto’s home run gave me goosebumps.
- Rolen’s home run had me leaping in the aisles. It was especially nice because it shut up this punk Brewers fan that was talking smack to his friends at the top of his lungs for 8 innings.
- Once Rolen hit the home run, I had no doubt they would win it in the 9th.
- Did I mention that I love Joey Votto?

I'd like to say that we'll do our best.
However, our current lineup is sitting both Dunner and Pudge while we toss out the 5th Beatle, John Lannan against the Carpenter planning to carve us up. We’ve beaten Johan this year and Josh Johnson of the Fish with a AA pitcher, but let’s just say I don’t want to raise expectations too far.
But hey, that’s why they play the games.
Peaches (Tyler Clippard) For the Win!!!
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
"Peaches"?
Why “Peaches”?
We used to call him “The Yankee Clippard.” He was one of the Yanks’ top prospects, an “untouchable” in a system that had very few of those.
I went to a spring training game a couple of years ago, and ended up sitting among a bunch of locals who knew Clippard from high school. Apparently, he was quite the party animal. I suspect that’s one reason the Yanks were willing to trade him. They weren’t too happy when he broke his hand in a barroom brawl or some such thing.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Hmmm. It's those nerdy looking guys who are always the wildest.
Clippard comes into the song “Peaches” by the Presidents of the United States of America.
“going to the country”
“get myself some peaches”….
“millions of peaches, peaches for me”
“Millions of peaches, peaches for free”
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
I wonder if he picked that song himself...

Plus Trevor Hoffman is doing his pitching version of Ken Griffey, Jr; sentimental value with godawful subplacement production.

Dunn's shot against the Rocks this weekend was an absolute bomb.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
Naw, we like Dunner.
Offense was a foreign concept to us before last year. Dunn gave us some legitimate thump and was entertaining for the media and the clubhouse. Zimmerman really gets along well with him, and provided he’s not a total failure at 1B I think we’ll reup with him. Wish our 1B prospect Chris Marrero wasn’t falling off a cliff so we’d have some more leverage and could let him walk for picks if we so choose, but reupping is probably the best move at this point.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
i once heard a reds fan say "Adam Dunn is the worst player in the major leagues" and mean it
Retractions are for journalists! -Gray
That's ugly.
We only saw one year of awfulness in the outfield, though. You see him strikeout with runners on base a lot and that’s easier. We played in big old RFK before where noone could hit home runs. I think we had a year when some nobody led the team with less than 15 HR. To have a guy flirt with 40 was a total and complete breath of fresh air. Historically, Dunn reminded people of Frank Howard, who was beloved on some bad Senators teams. Dunn has found a team where he’s a good fit and he helped add some respect to the lineup. Of course, they didn’t win much more, but they were much more fun to watch.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
Soriano hit 46 homers playing at RFK
I gotta say, I do like seeing the white seats in the upper deck when I go to DC United games – the seats where Frank Howard hit home runs. Those are looooooong home runs.
by Brendanukkah on May 18, 2010 6:45 PM EDT up reply actions
Utter and total bombs.
When Soriano hits it, he hits it. And when he misses it, he misses it. Since he left the Nats, he’s been missing a lot more than he hits. So glad we let that man go. Plus the compensation pick we got became Jordan Zimmermann, one of our best prospects recovering from Tommy John surgery this year.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
oh man, Zimmermann got TJ?
That’s bad news, I’m sorry to hear it.
I just graduated from UMd last year, so I have a soft spot for the Nationals and their fans a bit, just because its a nice ballpark. Snakebitten pitching prospects are the worst.

You hope that we’ll get a chance to learn about some other pitchers. But he’s part of the reason why people talk about us as being a potential force for ’11.

In fairness,
Dunn hadn’t had a season as good as last year’s in a long time, maybe ever. Batting in the .230s has a way of irritating people.
He sits alone...Reds are not home.
but dunn is a guy who is extremely effective even when he's batting .230
whatever. its a subject that need not be broached again
Retractions are for journalists! -Gray
I don't blame the Reds for hating him.
He can be dang frustrating to watch. There was a game in the last week to ten days when he was up in a big spot his selectivity led him to watch strike three go by. There are times when you’re like “a defensive swing is actually a decent plan Dunner. Fouls some pitches off!” But he is legitimate left handed thump to complement and help Zimmerman some in the lineup. He had a career year for us last year at the expense of a couple of HR. He gave up a lot of production in the field and had a host of bum errors. If you are a great team, Dunn only belongs in the American League. But when you’ve been one of the worst offensive teams in the majors and borderline unwatchable, it was a lot more fun knowing that we at least had the hope of coming back when our bullpen stunk and we didn’t have anything resembling a 1 or 2 starter.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
i learned to take the called strike three's, as a product of his good eye
without his patience he would be Jeff Failcour, lets of power, and no other redeeming qualities.

Stumbling on wins
Took my car in for service this evening, and started reading a book called Stumbling on Wins to pass the time. Got about halfway through. Pretty interesting so far. It’s about economics as it applies to sports – a sort of Freakonomics meets Moneyball.
The book claims, among other things, that money doesn’t buy wins, and that a big payroll can even hurt a team, if the GM doesn’t understand what really makes a player valuable. And that GMs actually don’t understand what makes players valuable, even though they all think they do. (Just like we all think we’re better than average drivers.)
They start out with the OBP example – that it took a hundred years before people came to understand that OBP was far more important than batting average or slugging. And another example of a “market inefficiency” that still exists, in the NFL. Black quarterbacks still have to be much better than white ones to be considered as good. And while all quarterbacks have bad years, a black quarterback will be cut or traded after a bad year, while a white one will not. Based on their analysis, Donovan McNabb and Steve McNair have been better QBs than Brett Farve, but it’s Farve who’s the sure hall of famer.
Also interesting: they claim first round draft picks aren’t a good deal. The most value is found in the second round. If NFL teams had perfect knowledge and were perfectly rational, they’d try to trade down to the second round, rather than up to the first.

Well I'm not going to defend them.
The only things I’ll say about Milwaukee are that 1) I don’t mind visiting there for limited purposes; 2) I’m glad I don’t live there full time; and 3) don’t believe anything backtocali says about Milwaukee because that guy needs therapy to deal with his bitterness that his wife is making him live in the dreaded land of NotCalifornia. Plus, he’s a tool.
The only thing I know about South Milwaukee is that it’s south of Milwaukee and it’s apparently filled with people who can’t afford to live in Milwaukee’s decent neighborhoods, or Kenosha. Most of the relatively well off Milwaukeeans have migrated downtown or in the northern burbs. South Milwaukeeans appear to fancy themselves as tough guys, from what I’ve seen, and it’s sometimes true. I’ve even heard them referred to as “Southies” by a few people, who apparently are unaware that the term is now universal for “wannabe hard ass who talks like he’s from Boston even though he’s really from New Hampshire.”

obviously, you follow me on twitter
har de har har
in all honesty, i’ve never really expected “answers” from Lost. I expect good storytelling, and for the most part, they’ve delivered big time.
i dont do the Twitter
are you a jerk there, too? :)
i cant imagine not getting answers (in some capacity or another) from Lost. the whole hook of the show is that the viewer is left almost completely in the dark. they have to turn the light on eventually.
by Charlie Scrabbles on May 18, 2010 11:39 PM EDT up reply actions
I hate to tell you this
but I have a feeling they are not going to answer everything important. Some things are going to be intentionally left open-ended, which I believe is a good thing. This is why the light was stupid (yes, I agree the light was stupid). They would have been better off leaving it behind the curtain and letting you imagine what it was, much like the suitcase in Pulp Fiction (ironically, also a light).
Red Reporter or follow on Twitter: @redreporter
oh i know
they arent going to answer everything and i actually prefer that. it would feel weird and forced if they lined everything up at the end and answered them one by one.
but not only was the light stupid, but the whole episode was. i dont want to go into details for all the jerks out there that havent seen it yet, but they gave us absolutely nothing. im fine with not having some things answered, but they answered nothing. that episode was billed as an essential history, much like the incredibly revealing Richard episode. it turned out to be the exact opposite.

i agree about beyond the sea
and i felt this week was a nice step back in the right direction. But last week was a total waste of 60 minutes IMO. One commenter on doc jensen’s blog said, “That should have been a webisode.” Yeah.
IMO the show goes astray every time they try to answer some question. It’s like theyre beating us over the head with the answers. In particular, I could have done without the explanations for the whispers, the light, the donkey wheel, and though adam and eve needed to be answered, i dont really like what they came up with.
that being said, i took off work for sunday to watch the finale live.
Retractions are for journalists! -Gray
I saw it as a weakly written, overly simplistic fantasy story, with uninteresting characters and uninspired dialogue.
Which is pretty much the exact opposite of what this show used to be. Seriously— a bright light? Come on! Also, it did not make me laugh at all. Also, it wasted a guest appearance by a West Wing alum (something Parks & Rec did NOT do last week!)

Not that big chain stores are bad, but I’ve come to really appreciate places like Joseph Beth and Books & Co. Support your local bookstores!

honestly I am glad I went to Havana
but it really isn’t a great tourist destination, unless you want to visit it for the novelty of going to Cuba. The food sucks, the lack of American products really hurts the quality of food, even expensive food is mediocre there.
Now if you want a beach vacation, the beaches of Varadaro are pretty beautiful. Also the Bay of Pigs is nice if you are into snorkeling and looking at coral reefs.

AMAZING
I kind of feel sick though because I couldn’t stay for the whole game. My bro invited me to go with him and his friend. I did against my better judgment because I was late for a super obligatory departmental event and that was leaving early! Man it would have been nice to pour some love on the guys after that.
Rolen comes in the game and we almost immediately win. That guy is amazing. But Votto, I love me some Votto. That game winner would have been a double no doubt right? He had a great series against the crew as did Gomes.
I would like to personally apologize for the Suckitude that was the Nats tonight
Tony LaRussa personally gift wrapped us a run late in the game and we still couldn’t get the job done. We lost 3-2. We had embararssing base running and the inevitable regression to mean of Tyler Clippard. You good people helped pump the energy into Federal Baseball and we just couldn’t get the job done.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
hey, it was a fun game to catch
better luck next series.
And feel free to stick around. We’ve caught a few flies with our honey over here.

The local news had a story about him. He said he loved baseball, and loved being a major leaguer. He didn’t care about the money, he just wanted to play. He said they would have to rip the jersey off his back…and that that’s pretty much what happened.
Now he’s coaching baseball at his son’s school, Don Bosco Prep. Probably hoping to coach major league baseball eventually.

I saw this clip of Votto talking about the win
over at CNATI. I hadn’t seen a link yet. Sorry if it’s already been posted, but it was nice to hear from him. I think it was in the CNATI article, too, where I read that Janish just wanted to get on base for Rolen because he knew Rolen had had soem success in the past with Trevor Hoffman. Janish is a thoughtful mastermind.
It may be that today's game marked the effective end of Hoffman's career
Here’s hopin’ he gets one more game.
But don’t count on seeing much more of that. Brewers have to be tasting their own vomit tonight.

I have been an optomistic (read drunk) fan all my life, however it is very exciting to watch the team and see and hear the fans coming back. Its amazing what a winning atmosphere can bring not only to a team but also the city. I have had a man crush on Gomes since he came to this team, and I can now safely say that Scott and his clutch (when is the last time we’ve had that attribute in a player) hits are warming my heart ever so gently. Holy Hell I love the Reds.
