The Reds are beating up on that scrubby other Ohio team, as well they should. Yesterday's loss will stay with us for a long time, but a win tonight will be a good step towards putting it behind us. The Reds are currently up 4-1, and Laynce Nix is surprisingly hot.

Well, I've been shaving my head for the last month or so
so my head is vaguely similar looking. Only it’s not blue.
I think Jake gets more credit there

Not related to the current game, but...
Anyone buying Cowboy’s statement that Volquez can pitch right now? I was thinking about it in spring training, that if they had quickly diagnosed Volquez’s elbow, he would’ve had another 1-2 months of rehab, and might now be having some minor league starts. He’d replace Harang in the rotation come mid-June, when Dusty finally loses patience with Harang.
Just a thought – did the Reds’ medical staff miss on this one with Volquez?

they let Manny Ramirez do that didn't they?
"I don't challenge Murphy, even if he's 0 for 20. Not him, not ever." - Mario Soto
I don't think so
If that’s true, suspension doesn’t mean anything. Well, maybe for big leaguers. But what about the minor leaguers? Can they just go down to A-ball or up to AAA to get around a suspension? I doubt it.

They can, but it’s limited.
The drug policy allows for a 10-game transitional Minor League assignment — but only with the player’s consent.

No amount of prosperity is sufficient to eliminate all misfortune, and sloth is impervious to opportunity.
No.
Even when someone has come back early from Tommy John, they have not fully recovered till at least a year has elapsed (most even longer). I can’t think of anyone off the top of my head that this didn’t apply to.

Alfredo Simon
When you come to the fork in the road, take it.
I think it's too early to say with him
The way it usually works is they try to come back early, play for awhile, then end up going on the DL again with elbow tendonitis or some such thing.
His WHIP so far this year is a not terribly impressive 1.7.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Volquez's ulnar collateral ligament was almost completely torn
And he also had a tear in the flexor mass of his elbow. So it might take him a bit longer to come back.
"It will most likely be 2011 before you see the old Edinson Volquez is back," Reds trainer Mark Mann said in August.

I think being conservative with TJ surgery is always the best practice
plus, it’s Cowboy

I can make an assessment on whether he can pitch
because I am a medical professional and I have been monitoring his progress.
I just posted a thought
that the Reds ought to pay attention to when the hitters are hovering around a slump.
That’s the coaching staff’s job.

Hi everyone! Re: Jay
Look at fangraphs. Dude has serious problems with changeups. Any pitcher with a good changeup is going to be able to own him until he gets better at it.
All of the strikes in that AB were on changes.
see what I did there with uzr? it’s like a LOL cats saber-pun combo.--Verka Serduchka
one was a sinker
but it does seem like guys have really been going after him with off-speed stuff lately
right, but specifically changes.
Jay is recognizing curves, splitters, etc. It’s the change that is killing him lately.

So, if we learned this here by reading fangraphs,
the Reds coaching staff is, what … watching Stormy Daniels films down in the clubhouse?

Interleague

"I don't challenge Murphy, even if he's 0 for 20. Not him, not ever." - Mario Soto
We can't do that.
The Nats get the Orioles 6 games a year! Nationals have the most favorable interleague schedule while the Phils have one of the toughest.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
Yep.
Advantage Natinals, at least when Scott Olsen doesn’t give up 4 runs in 3 innings and leave with the dreaded “shoulder tightness”
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
Believe so. That's why you get the Actas.
6 games against the Actas you shouldn’t be complaining as tonight’s score to this point indicates.
Uh...yeah...Let's gets that Calder Cup!!!!
I lay my head across the keyboard...
…and submit myself to the banning guillotine for the rest of the night if I accept the blame for tonight’s outcome.
Nats have bad karma floating around them right now anyways.

There was something screwy with Washington then
It’s a little strange how both Lopez and Kearns have revived their careers once they left.
Yeah, like the lack of lineup support.
Lopez couldn’t really handle Frank and pouted when they weren’t winning and he was cold. Kearns was hurt a lot and they just kept throwing him out there. But Kearns swing is too long regardless and he doesn’t seem to have the capacity to change it. His power was enhanced by your ballpark and Bowden used and abused everybody who was part of that deal.

Let me write out a formal proof for you.
pleeeeeze?
we can meet in person talk about how we have two mutual friends! The twins, Gray! THE TWINS!
laura and her husband are great fun people
jen was sorta standoffish and cagey towards me. there’s the update from six years ago.
also, Jen still owes me $20.
I gave it to her when we were drunk, but apparently I’m the only one who remembers.
/lost money’d
and I'll sit there and feel awkward! It'll be great!

Just found out I am going to the finale of that series
and then following the team to Philly for the opener the next day.
It will be the third new park for me this year.
Watch it, ass blood.
Bring your brass knuckles!
I’ll be at the Sunday and probably the Saturday games in Philly. Not the first two, though.

thevole and I are doing a RR meetup for Tuesday’s game, but we’ll both be at Wednesday’s game as well

I just wanna see Scott Rolen’s Reds Roll Into Town

"have to see bronson start?"
the last time he pitched here, he threw a 2-hit shut-out. I’LL TAKE IT!
wonder what that conversation
was in the dugout?
"I don't challenge Murphy, even if he's 0 for 20. Not him, not ever." - Mario Soto
SloCab and couldn't tell who the other was
just looked like a serious conversation. I was waiting on him to start smiling or laughing but he never did
"I don't challenge Murphy, even if he's 0 for 20. Not him, not ever." - Mario Soto
Masset or Rhodes?
"I don't challenge Murphy, even if he's 0 for 20. Not him, not ever." - Mario Soto
I leave Rhodes in
He only threw a few pitches so far and hasn’t been worked that hard lately

It's typical rookie hazing

Plus, going into this season his big league OBP was somewhere around .380. Not bad for a leadoff guy with good speed.

it was great to win after yesterday
but I still feel weird about it. Maybe I was just a bit traumatized. I can’t even say exactly why it is still unsettling me—my worst fear didn’t happen, that the losing streak would continue, but everything isn’t back to normal yet for me. I think it might take a week to get that out of my system. Or just a lot of Rolen in the lineup.
Nix and Gomes played really well and the defense was back in shape tonght. Arroyo pitched well enough to win and teh bullpen didn’t give up any runs. I’m happy with the game overall.
yeah it's been great to come here and discuss 5/20
I feel sorry for the fans who just had to hear it—that would have been tough—no place to properly vent.
I actually think Rolen not being in the lineup during it might really help. We only win when Rolen is in the game so we can just attribute it to that and move on lol
Rolen won't be able to give you more than 140 games
