Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Drew Stubbs. Our boy light tower powered his way to this honor, going 2-4 with a home run, a stolen base, two runs scored, and four RBI. Honorable mentions go to Jay Bruce, Brandon Phillips, and Orlando Cabrera.
Key Plays
- Aaron Harang allowed two baserunners in each of his first three innings, but it was the Reds who scored first. In the second inning, Aaron Laffey walked Jay Bruce, and then Drew Stubbs slammed a home run to right field. Reds lead, 2-0.
- The Reds loaded the bases in the next inning on a Brandon Phillips single, Orlando Cabrera double, and a walk to Joey Votto. All three scored without the Reds getting another hit. Scott Rolen walked to force in Phillips, Jonny Gomes hit a sacrifice fly to bring in Cabrera, and Votto scored on Bruce's sacrifice fly. Reds lead, 5-0.
- The Indians did their best to make a game of it in the fifth inning. Harang walked MLS star Trevor Crowe, and then Carlos Santana hit a home run. The kid's pr'good. Reds lead, 5-2.
- Joe Sheehan-approved genius manager Tony LaRussa took out Aaron Laffey and put in Joe Smith to face the Rollickin' Reds. Scott Rolen immediately homered off him. God, that's satisfying. Then Jonny Gomes singled and Jay Bruce doubled. Drew "Matchmaker" Stubbs thought they should both meet, and so he brought them together at home plate with a single of his own. Then he stole second, and when Ramon Hernandez beat out an infield hit, Stubbs scored on Anderson Hernandez's errant throw. Four runs, and no outs. But then Aaron Harang, Phillips, and Cabrera all made outs. Reds lead, 9-2.
- Jhonny Peralta jhomered in the sixth. Reds lead, 9-3.
- In the seventh inning, Jay Bruce doubled off of Frank Herrmann, who was clearly early for German Heritage Night. Bruce moved to third on Stubbs's groundout, and scored on Laynce Nix's infield hit. Reds win, 10-3.
Other Notes
- Carlos Santana is OPSing 1.114. Goodness.
- This win gave the Reds a winning interleague record for the season so far. They are 7-6. Five of those losses came to the Royals and Mariners. Cincinnati is 12-4 against Cleveland over the last three years. Sam Wyche approves.
- After not scoring any runs for Aaron Harang in his last two starts, the offense put up 10 tonight. More of that, please!
- Joey Votto walked twice. His base-reaching streak continues!
- The Cardinals lost to the Royals. We are back in first place!

Ah, to be suckled by wolves!

According to Hal, Louisville has announced Chapman will be coming out of the 'pen for the rest of the season.
This may be old news, but it’s the first semi-official thing I have seen about it.
Walt said that the Reds are hoping to call him up in 3 weeks
something to the effect that with all 5 pitchers in Cincinnati pitching reasonably well and Volquez and Bailey still on the way, there really isn’t a place for Chapman this year as starter. But this team needs help in the bullpen and Chapman is a talented arm that can hopefully help in the bullpen.

i understand this logic
but boy oh boy, i wish they werent counting their chickens in the rotation already. there is no such thing as a pitching surplus.

Yabbit after we get Lee and Hanley ...
we will be so far ahead they won’t be able to see our tail lights.

I don't think this is that detrimental to the starting pitching depth
It would take a lot of injuries, I think we can agree that Wood and Maloney can hold their own in a big league rotation. So I have a hard time seeing a situation where the Reds out of, Cueto, Arroyo, Harang, Leake, Bailey, LeCure, Wood, Volquez, and Maloney, only four are still standing.
Plus even if that does happen, they can still put Chapman back in the rotation.

i know 8 or 9 arms sounds like enough
but i wouldnt count on it.
that’s not to say i disagree with the move. just that i question the argument “we have enough already”.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Jun 25, 2010 11:58 PM EDT up reply actions
i am not terribly worried about it
But I see your point, considering that last August Harang, Cueto, Volquez, and Owings were on the shelf at the same time.

He's not that bad.
You’ve been drinking the Dusty kool-aid.
"Red Reporter - An elitist clique full of like-minded douchebags." - BK
Yeah, he's not great...
but a guy with an ERA+ of 80 or so (84 so far this year) is not a horrible backstop fifth starter.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
This is what I'm saying.
He’s no ace, but he’s a potential injury fill-in.
"Red Reporter - An elitist clique full of like-minded douchebags." - BK
he is an injury fill in guy
if the Reds reach the point where Harang, Arroyo, Cueto, Bailey, Leake, Chapman, LeCure, Wood, and Maloney have already been pushed into service or are injured.

This made me wonder how all the Reds starters are doing so far, ERA+wise
so here she is…
Leake – 144
Cueto – 106
Arroyo – 97
LeCure – 94
Harang – 83
Bailey – 77
Oh, and Rhodes – 1460
chairman of the committee
LeCure has been really solid.
Poor guy. Even FanGraphs wrote an article about how his opposition has been reeeeeediculous.
Fire Dusty!
Bench Owings! Play Janish! Eat more chikin!
"the only place they lost was the scoreboard"
They can't use him as a starter yet anyway. He'd be a 9BB/9 IP disaster.
Let him the left-handed K-Rod
what?

I know this has been beaten to death, but this upsets me
He’s only thrown 67 innings this year. There is no way he gets anywhere near where he needs to be if he moves to the pen right now.
Nevermind the developmental issues. I really wanted to see him start 2011 in the rotation, but I really fear that will never happen if he’s exclusively a reliever for the rest of the year.
see what I did there with uzr? it’s like a LOL cats saber-pun combo.--Verka Serduchka
can't spending time in a big league bullpen help him develop?
He will see what it takes to get big league hitters out.
I was against this when Slyde first brought it up, but I let his and boobs arguments float around in my mind a bit, and it grew on me. Also the comparison to Wainwright and TB guy have struck a tone with me.
Plus I am really most concerned about this season at the moment. This is our moment and right now it seems that the stars have aligned for the 2010 team. I would hate to miss the playoffs by a small margin and have a guy who throws 100 MPH in AAA for the entire season.
Cincinnati Reds-Rebuilding since 2001...
by justin007000 on Jun 26, 2010 12:11 AM EDT up reply actions
yeah, but he's only thrown that many innings
because he reaches his pitch count so early in the game. he’s not throwing less, he’s just not going deep into games.
that could be an argument for why he should remain in the AAA rotation though
he still does need to learn pitch efficiency.

Yes, he could be worse than DRH.
anything is possible.

however
who else would you want to give a bean ball? He could be the assasin from the bullpen if all else fails lol
I think you are worrying too much
he can still develop in the majors, and he can even still develop into a starting pitcher. Trust Walt. He knows what he’s doing (and not just because I agree with the move)

About the headline pic, it looks like Laffey was throwing at Votto’s head—very, very uncool.

I really want somebody to explain this
Fay claims there may be a market for Harang if the Reds are inclined to trade him. Why do people want to unload Harang just to unload him?
What are the Reds going to do with Harang’s salary if they trade him? It isn’t our money, so why are we so concerned about it?
While he isn’t pitching like he did in 2007, he is still serviceable. Plus at one point last year 80% of the opening day starting staff was on the shelf with injuries. As long as the Reds are in the race what good does it do to trade Harang if they get nothing useful in return?
I would hate to unload Harang, and have to find the 2010 Tom Shearn/Justin Lehr/Chris Micalick to start every 5th day if their are injuries.
Cincinnati Reds-Rebuilding since 2001...
Trading Harang
I think it’s just the kind of conversation baseball fans like to have because a.) it ain’t their life and b.) they don’t understand the process.
I have to look around to see who needs what and what they have that can help us. I’d say, fuck most of them and the horse they want to trade us.
If Harang does no better the rest of the year than he has done, he’s already better than Homer Bailey, who at last report is not in the rotation.
I trust this organization. I trust this organization. I trust this organization. -- Justin
these are the type of Fya posts that drive me up the fucking wall...

the Reds are sending Harang and prospects to Florida, Florida is sending prospects to Seattle and Hanley to Cincy, and Seattle is sending Lee to Cincy.

that seems fair
see what I did there with uzr? it’s like a LOL cats saber-pun combo.--Verka Serduchka
Honestly, I'd package Harang and Gomes in a deal ...
… even if it just gave us a bad ass SS prospect for next year. Gomes will bolt for bigger money after this year, and deservedly so.
Time to bring back Pete .... Pete Mackanin that is.

Heh, it's okay.
That option is looking pretty smart right now.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
What?
You would send away a serviceable starting pitcher and an important cog of our offense for a prospect when the Reds are in first place?
Are you Wayne Krivksy?
Even if Gomes didn’t have an option this is a bad trade for a team in first place. Teams in the position that the Reds are in add big league talent, they don’t subtract big league talent. Sometimes you gotta play for this year.
