Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Arthur Rhodes. The Nasty Man came in in the eighth inning with two men on and no outs, and the Reds clinging to a one run lead. He walked the first batter he faced to load the bases, but when the dust cleared, the Reds still had a one run lead. Colossal. Honorable mentions go to Brandon Phillips, Orlando Cabrera, and Francisco Cordero.
Key Plays
- Brandon Phillips led off the third inning with a double off of Jason Hammel, then stole third base. Orlando Cabrera productively grounded out to second, and Phillips came home to give the Reds the early lead. Joey Votto then doubled, and after Scott Rolen struck out, Jonny Gomes singled and a streaking Votto came around to score. Reds lead, 2-0.
- The Reds increased their lead in the fifth inning when Brandon Phillips singled, and Cabrera again brought him in, this time with a double. Jay Bruce nearly had a three run homer, but Dexter Fowler caught his drive over the wall. Reds lead, 3-0.
- Bronson Arroyo pitched masterfully in this game, but in the seventh inning, the old Reds buggaboo of allowing runs with two outs reared its head. Arroyo allowed a two out single to All-Star-Fan-Vote-loser Carlos Gonzalez, and then Jason Giambi doubled to pick up the RBI. Reds lead, 3-1.
- It seemed that Arroyo was tiring as the game progressed. Miguel Olivo led off the eighth inning with a home run to left field. The umpires reviewed the call, but it was upheld. Arroyo then walked Ian Stewart and Clint Barmes singled on a soft liner to right field. Arthur Rhodes was summoned from the bullpen to slam the gate shut on this Colorado comeback. Scoffing haughtily that he needed a real challenge, Rhodes walked Ryan Spilborghs, the first batter he faced to load the bases with no outs. Dexter Fowler then flew out weakly to right field, and Stewart wisely did not run on Jay Bruce. Rhodes then struck out Jonathan Herrera and Carlos Gonzalez to escape the inning unscathed. Masterful. Reds win, 3-2.
Other Notes
- After Ryan Spilborghs walked, the Reds had a win expectancy of 37.4%. After Arthur Rhodes was done with the inning, their win expectancy was 87.3%, a swing of 49.9%.
- There was an attendance of 37,188 at GABP, with over 6,000 walk
outsups. I choose to believe that it wasn't MC Hammer that was bringing all the fans to the yard, because the atmosphere in the stadium during the game was incredible. This team has been playing great baseball all year, and it's high time the fans supported them with great efforts like tonight. - The Reds had lost their last nine games against Colorado. They're 4-16 in their last 20 games. We caught a break by missing Ubaldo Jimenez, so we need to make the most of our chances. Beating Jason Hammel, who had won his last six decisions, was a good start.
- Before scoring twice in the third inning, the Reds had been scoreless in 23 straight innings.
- Bronson Arroyo won his tenth game of the season, the fourth year (out of five) that he's reached double digits in wins for the Reds. He's 63-54 in his career with the Reds, and I'm becoming more and more in favor of the team picking up his option for next year.
- The Reds honored the 1990 team tonight, and the 2010 version is answering the call to equal that greatness. It's after the All-Star break and we're still in first place. Is that good enough? Do you think you can win the division? Then let's see you do it!

BuubaFan...
So, I wasn't a part of the game thread tonight but,
any guesses as to why after the lead-off homer in the 8th Arroyo wasn’t lifted? My piss was boiling. I mean Go Reds and all but tempting fate like that is asinine.
A Pete Rose by any other name would still smell of cheap hookers and pinetar.
what was his pitch count?
if i had to guess, it would be that. too bad there isn’t something like the internet for me to look it up. :)
Low
He left with only 93. So I guess that might be why
I don't question the decision to let him start the 8th
but with the game 3-2 after the homer and a lefty coming up, I just don’t get it. Pitch count be damned. He looked done to me.

Glad the JNMHSotG went to Arthur.
I was salsa dancing at Lincoln Center in 92 degree heat (i’m caliente loco!!) and I checked in to see the bases loaded. I thought ‘well, probably going to be 5 in a row’ then I check back later just as Coco is nailing it down. That was a truly Colossal performance

The crowd cleared out quite a bit when the game was over
I’d say only 20-25k hung around for Hammer and fireworks, so I doubt it was all Hammer filling the crowd, especially since the majority of the crowd sat on their hands for everything except U Can’t Touch This.
I went with Ash, BK, and tHah, but I spent most of my time hanging with Herm, Braggs, Randall Kirk, and the True Creature. It’s because I’m so fucking famous!

Oh, and Hammer's performance was kinda meh
Couldn’t hear a lot of the songs well and his choreography left a lot to be desired. He closed with Too Legit to Quit, and then he quit. The coolest thing of the night – besides Eric Davis dancing at home plate to Hammer – was Hammer dancing to the grand finale of the fireworks. Dude looked possessed.

yeah, eyewitness report from the bats tonight: chapman threw down tonight.
he looked much improved from the last time i saw him (just about a week ago). hit 101 or 102 several times. fooled hitters with some high 80s stuff after his 97-102 fastball. standing ovation after finishing the 8th inning.
gmjr and francisco both went deep. both were no-doubters. cdick looked good in his return. one semi-suspect play in the outfield (missed chance to attempt a throw-out at home due to trying to throw ball before it was off the ground and in his glove); otherwise, good at both the plate and on the base paths.
burton pitched well. nearly gave up a hr (caught on warning track). otherwise, one hit, three k’s. if we don’t deal for a rhp before the break, i wouldn’t be surprised if burton’s in cincy sooner rather than later.
however, both frazier and alonso looked pretty unremarkable to bad tonight. both were baffled by the opposition’s sp, finishing with 0-fers. frazier continues to look very suspect in lf, taking a horrible route on, and nearly misjudging a hard hit, but routine fly ball. i can’t imagine he’s any kind of answer in the of defensively and his offense, while admittedly appearing to have gotten better recently, has been ugly most of the year. not too good from 2 of our most valuable prospects; then again, esp. with alonso, they might just need some more time at the level.
by Rearviewmirror on Jul 17, 2010 1:01 AM EDT reply actions 2 recs
CDicks back?
Any idea on when/if he is coming to Cincy?
no idea. tonight was his first game back since his setback.
played rf; was lifted in one of the later innings for balentien defensively. probably just to ease him into playing a full 9 innings again. but, like i said, he seemed competent enough out there.
by Rearviewmirror on Jul 17, 2010 1:14 AM EDT up reply actions
we'll allow it
despite, for baseball reasons, I’m excited about his return. Get one more bat off the bench, spell Stubbs a little, LIDR for Gomes, steal a base or too, and demand recycling in the clubhouse.
Still, what use is a grudge unless you carry it?
So, apart from recycling, everything Heisey does
Only Heisey can hit both lefties and righties and isn’t made of glass.
If he comes up at all, he better replace Nix

by nycredsfan on Jul 17, 2010 3:07 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Yeah, I really don't care if Chris Dickerson is on this team or not.
He’s neither good enough nor healthy enough to be anything more than a platoon-type 4th/5th OF and I really don’t think this Reds club needs him. I think we’re better off with Heisey and Nix than we would be with Heisey/Dickerson or Nix/Dickerson.
yes
putting aside my anti-cdick thing, if i look at it objectively i still say we are better off with heisey. i’m worried putting cdick on the roster means bye bye Ectocooler.
yeah Heisey is just as good dfensively
I think and has more power. I don’t have anything against CDick, but I’m not ure he is an improvement right now
I think Heisey is better defensively
He can play all three outfield positions.
While in theory, a guy who can play CF should be able to play the corner OF positions, C-Dick struggles with it. He’d probably figure it out eventually, but Heisey can do it now. Perhaps because he played corner while Stubbs played CF in the minors.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
It's a pretty easy solution really.
Gomes is no great shakes against righties, despite what Dusty thinks. Start Heisey twice a week in LF against righties, once in CF against whomever, and in RF whenever Bruce needs a rest or there is a vicious lefty on the mound.
That way he is starting 2-4 times a week. Seems about right to me.
see what I did there with uzr? it’s like a LOL cats saber-pun combo.--Verka Serduchka
this sounds right to me
i agree gomes shouldn’t start against righties. weird to have this righty problem when we’ve had the lefty issue for so long…
I really wish Dusty would do that
But he doesn’t seem to be the type.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I think it's a little late for that
I would buy that argument before they called him up to be a backup OFer. Now, it’s done.
There’s also the fact that the Reds are contending this year. “All hands on deck.”
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
i don't think the difference between Heisey/Nix and Dickerson will cost the Reds the playoffs
but right now I think the current outfield is the best way to go.
I am thrilled for your success, hell I'm amazed by it. Nobody who knows you saw this coming.
by justin007000 on Jul 17, 2010 4:08 PM EDT up reply actions
we'll agree to disagree over whether he'd actually be able to do that again, and whether he'd last long enough to try before getting hurt again.
Oh, and whether it’s worth having him when he can only do that against righties.
see what I did there with uzr? it’s like a LOL cats saber-pun combo.--Verka Serduchka
Seriosuly?
your argument is that you can’t use a skilled player because he will get hurt?
Oh, and whether it’s worth having him when he can only do that against righties.
As opposed to Drew who does it against no one?
well, in a case like this, it's a good point
why make a roster move for the worse when the guy is just going to get hurt again?
they're going to have to make some kind of roster move
Dickerson can’t stay on rehab assignment for more than 30 days.
Does he have any options left?
The only reason I could see for keeping him instead of Heisey is if he’s out of options. Then the Reds might want to keep him around, just for outfield depth.
I am not expecting him to be back with the Reds next year, either way.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
good question
when i went to richmond to see the bats, it was…2007. so he burned an option that year, and he went down in 2008, too. did he go down last year aside from rehab assignments?
i don’t expect him to be back next year, either. i think he’s too valuable not to trade and not valuable enough to keep considering the other options.

And his 2.1 WAR last season
Heisey’s got a 1.2 WAR, according to BP. Between them, they could win me two games in a tight division race. Last year Dickerson OPS’d more than .800 against righties.
There’s a place and it’s where Laynce Nix is sitting
BTW, agreed that he should replace Nix, I just don't see it happening.
see what I did there with uzr? it’s like a LOL cats saber-pun combo.--Verka Serduchka
I think they would lose Nix to another team if they made this move.
Not that I don’t support that. But if Nix goes, and C-Dick gets hurt, what lefty outfielder do we then have on our bench?

see what I did there with uzr? it’s like a LOL cats saber-pun combo.--Verka Serduchka
honestly, and again being objective
i wish we’d just trade him. i think we can get something for him, and i really don’t want to mess up the team chemistry right now. (i know some people think that is overrated, but i think all but the most ardent statheads have acknowledged the reds have something intangible right now.)
Agree on the chemistry, which is the only reason I'm not up in arms about Cabrera still playing
He seems to bring something valuable to the clubhouse. I doubt that’s the case with Nix though. I also doubt that replacing Nix with Dickerson would make that big a difference. There’s been enough turnover that I’m sure things would be ok.
I don’t agree that he has any trade value. He’s getting older and has shown he can’t stay healthy. I mean, I’m sure we could get someone to take him off our hands, but I doubt we’d get much back for him.
Does he have options left?
see what I did there with uzr? it’s like a LOL cats saber-pun combo.--Verka Serduchka
Until he starts playing he has no value.
I know he wronged you, Daedalus, and it seriously messed with my impression of him as a smart ballplayer and person, but from a sabermetric standpoint, he has something to offer this team. And, if you want to trade him, you’re gonna have to play him so other teams can see he can play
i really am being objective at this point
i don’t think they need to play him for teams to want him. look at denorfia – we got rid of him pretty easily when his arm had fallen off. dickerson has been around long enough for teams to know him. we need bullpen arms – i honestly believe he would bring in a good arm.
do i think nix stynks? yeah. i’m just afraid of messing up the chemistry. which is strange considering i think shuffling the bullpen is ok. but i think even the players realize bullpen help is needed.
out of curiosity and no desire to actually look it up, how does dickerson do off the bench? my impression is that he is a no go when it comes to pinch hitting, but it’s just a “seems like he does that” thing.
I thought Deno's arm fell off with Oakland?
I don’t know about Nix or even O-Cab having much affect on chemistry. I think the leadership starts and stops with Rolen, Votto and Gomes, among the position players.
The thing with Nix is that he goes through stretches where he absolutely kills the ball, which really sticks in the memory of fans and management.
no
Deno found out he needed TJ surgery in spring training with the Reds. He was on the DL for the rest of the year. There was some trade talk before the injury, but the Reds figured it was a no-go after the injury. But the A’s waited until after the surgery (I guess to make sure it went well), then said they were still interested in the trade.

Cubs gate developed a bit since I've been gone
Ctrent’s interview was interesting and I was glad to see that Brown posted a retraction, it was kind of punky but it still apoplogized. My favorite part of the Ctrent article:
Votto traces his Cub-dislike to 2007, when he was called up in September and watched the Cubs celebrate a division title at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.
“I still remember that now, I remember them looking at the scoreboard and Cubs fans cheering and everyone in the stands wearing blue,” Votto said. “I still remember that and it meant a lot to me. I guess I should probably let it go, but I’m not an easy forgiver.”
No wonder he does so well against the Cubs, he is detemrined to punish them! Reading that just makes me angry right now.
Do you have a link to the retraction. I spent a lot of time in that thread while baseball was turned off.
