Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Brandon Phillips. The All-Star went 2-4 in the leadoff slot with a grand slam, a stolen base, and two runs scored. The move out of the cleanup position has done wonders for BP. Honorable mentions go to Joey Votto and Miguel Cairo.
Key Plays
- Coming into this series with the Reds, the Brewers had won 10 of their last 14 games and were entertaining notions of competing for the division if they could sweep the Reds. A blowout win last night prevented the sweep for the Brewers, but if they could win the series, then that might be good enough. They got off to a positive start in the fourth inning against Travis Wood. Alcides Escobar hit a one out single, and then scored when Ryan Braun doubled into the left field corner. Prince Fielder walked, and after Casey McGehee popped up, Jonathan Lucroy hit another ball to left that Jonny Gomes couldn't get to. Braun scored. Jay Bruce made a diving catch on a liner from Carlos Gomez to end the inning. Brewers lead, 2-0.
- Being a middling lefty, Chris Narveson stymied the Reds for five innings. In the fifth inning, Brandon Phillips figured he'd had just about enough of that and singled. Then he stole second, superfluously it turned out because Orlando Cabrera walked. Joey Votto singled to RF/P Joe Inglett and Phillips scored. Cabrera went from first to third. Ken Macha turned to his bullpen and brought in Kameron Loe. Jonny Gomes then pulled a bull along the third base line for a double. Cabrera scored and the game was tied, with runners on second and third with no outs. Miguel Cairo then hit a double too to bring home the runners in scoring position. Jay Bruce singled, sending Cairo to third, and one out later, Ryan Hanigan executed a perfect suicide squeeze allowing Cairo to score. Pinch hitter Laynce Nix walked and Brandon Phillips was hit by a pitch, loading the bases again with two outs. However, Orlando Cabrera grounded out. Reds lead, 5-2.
- The Reds had now scored 19 runs in the series with the Brewers without benefit of a home run. They remedied that in a big way in the eighth inning. Chris Heisey led off the inning with a perfect bunt off of Carlos Villanueva. Ryan Hanigan singled, sending Heisey from first to third. Dusty sent Mike Leake up as a pinch hitter, and after two failed bunt attempts, Leake came back to draw a walk. Bases loaded, no outs, and Brandon Phillips at the plate. He hit a 3-1 changeup way, way out of the ballpark. It hit off of Bernie Brewer's slide. The grandest of slams! Joey Votto also homered in the inning. Reds win, 10-2.
Other Notes
- Joey Votto's home run was his 26th of the season, a career high.
- After the first game (and the first half of this game) caused us to wonder what had happened to the Reds offense, they collected 22 runs and 32 hits in the final two games of the series. 24 runs and 38 hits, or an average of 8 runs and nearly 13 hits per game for the series.
- The bullpen has pitched 17 scoreless innings, dating back to the July 22 7-1 loss to the Nationals. And Bill Bray only gave up one run in that game.
- Travis Wood earned his first major league victory.

The Indians just traded Jhonny Peralta for Giovanni Soto.
I went WTF? when I first saw this. Turns out it’s an A-Ball pitcher in the Tigers organization not Geovany Soto the Cubs catcher.
looks like we won't be trading for ben sheets, he's apparenlty going to be out for the year
kinda a shame how injuries have derailed his career
Yeah, and a second time tearing his flexor tendon.
He is most likely done.

Did you know...
Of the five offensive categories MLB.com lists on its front page, Joey Votto currently leads the NL in four of them. And he’s fourth in RBI. If he doesn’t win MVP, it’ll make a mockery of the words “most,” “valuable,” and maybe even “player.”
Also, I’m pleased the Reds won in ass-kicking fashion today. Makes my current stress level almost tolerable.
by the finest muffins on Jul 28, 2010 8:03 PM EDT reply actions
there's this
• Ranks 1st in NL in BA (.322) • Ranks 1st in NL in HR (26)
• Ranks 2nd in NL in RBI (70) • Ranks 2nd in NL in R (72)
• Ranks 3rd in NL in BB (60) • Ranks 1st in NL in OBP (.423)
• Ranks 1st in NL in SLG (.599) • Ranks 1st in NL in OPS (1.023)
Ack!
You’re right that he’s tied for second in RBIs. He just looks fourth because he’s all alphabetically humble. Seriously, Ryan Howard needs to hit the DL now.

Weird, I was just looking at the leader boards and tweeted that

by Charlie Scrabbles on Jul 28, 2010 10:22 PM EDT up reply actions
So looking it up, McCormick wasn't as great as I thought
Before today, Votto’s OPS+ was 167. McCormick had a couple of years in the 130s, including his MVP year in ‘40, and one later season at 143. Klu’s best was 167 in ‘54 (led league in HR and RBI, second in MVP). Perez had a couple of seasons in the high 150s, though one was while he played third. Not that OPS+ is the end all, but it’s interesting.
i think it's interesting
how greatness can seem so ordinary. i get to watch him nearly everyday, and i think it’s spoiled me.

by RedsMasochist on Jul 28, 2010 9:19 PM EDT up reply actions
Just like Toonces the driving cat can drive
He can do it, but not very well.
A-Rod’s biggest weakness as a player is his inability to catch fly balls. This is a serious drawback for an outfielder.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
he'd be able to get to balls though
he’d be just fine as long as opposing players didn’t tell him “i got it”
no
He can’t read fly balls well. He could get to them…if he didn’t run to the wrong spot.
And if he does manage to get to the right position, fans hold their breath, hoping it doesn’t bounce off his glove, or miss it altogether.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
i dont get it
it might take a week to get used to the position but im here to tell you that any competent 3B can easily play LF.
LF is incredibly easy position to play. (see Luzinski, Greg….Dunn, Adam…Daniels, Kal)
"the only place they lost was the scoreboard"
sure, it's easy
If you can catch fly balls. A-Rod can’t. The others will call him off even when it’s his ball because they know he can’t catch fly balls.
It’s not a matter of his getting used to it, because he’s had to deal with fly balls throughout his career. Not as much as an outfielder, but a SS and a third baseman has plenty of pop flies to field.
This comes up often when someone suggests that Jeter should move to CF while A-Rod plays SS. Someone will always suggest, “Why can’t A-Rod move to the outfield instead?” The argument-ending reply: “Jeter can catch fly balls, A-Rod can’t.”

Hey guys! Bubba was the ONLY one right about Cairo...
…but I’m gonna have to say that this seems like a very silly argument to me as well. There’s no way A-Rod would be a worse OF than Dunn, Hawpe, Soriano, or the very guy he’d replace here, as examples.
I think you might have a different opinion
If you’d seen A-Rod’s flubbed catches, and how the other players try to save him from having to catch fly balls. It’s probably a mental thing. Heck, it usually is, with A-Rod.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
i saw earlier
that the announcers for the mets-cards game were complaining that there was so little fanfare for a-rod approaching 600. well, maybe it has something to do with his use of steroids/hgh/peds or whatever it was he used. just a thought.

Yonder just hit a solo homer to break a 5-5 tie in the bottom of the seventh.
He’s giving Walt a bit more ammo in trade talks.
if Yonder is involved, it'd have to be a big trade, and I don't think Walt wants to disrupt the Clubhouse
plus, the biggest improvement we can make (Heisey in left) doesn’t involve a trade!
I'd rather get someone else to play LF
and have Heisey and Gomes both come off the bench.
"Red Reporter - An elitist clique full of like-minded douchebags." - BK
Heisey was incredible in the minors last year and plays plus defense
Gomes is a +2 bat and a -10 defense
He also only has 90 PAs on Major League experience.
I’d rather have a proven player at LF in the midst of a pennant race.
"Red Reporter - An elitist clique full of like-minded douchebags." - BK
Jose Bautista from TOR would be good.
I hate to say it, but Adam Dunn would almost be perfect.
"Red Reporter - An elitist clique full of like-minded douchebags." - BK
I didn't consider Bautista because I thought (think) he's fluky and that his numbers are worse than they apparently are.
This might epitomize buying high, though.
prior to this year, he had 59 HR in 1750 AB (3.37%)
this year it’s up to 30 in 359 (8.3%).. his walks are up, his strikeouts are down, and I wouldn’t be opposed to him playing for the reds, but he’d be quite expensive
What does his contract look like?
I’d look it up myself, but I’ve already got too much going on.
"Red Reporter - An elitist clique full of like-minded douchebags." - BK
ah.
I wonder what we’d have to give for him?
"Red Reporter - An elitist clique full of like-minded douchebags." - BK
He's having an amazing year
so probably 2 high-end prospects and some thrown-ins, this just being a guess, for a guy with 1 year of success
I'd rather have more walking and more homeruns.
Stubbs doesn’t really do either that well.
"Red Reporter - An elitist clique full of like-minded douchebags." - BK
yeah... im joking
still, you guys really underestimate Stubbs potential as a power hitter
He’s no Dunn… but he got pop
I see Stubbs as, once he works out his K problem I wouldn't have predicted
(in part because I don’t know his milb numbers very well):
.260/.335/.470 with ~20 home runs a year.
I can't think that a big trade would have a negative effect in the clubhouse.
On the contrary, I think it would encourage the players by showing them management is committed to winning this season.
by RedsMasochist on Jul 28, 2010 9:21 PM EDT up reply actions
especially since any trade would involve mostly AAA prospects from our end.
"Red Reporter - An elitist clique full of like-minded douchebags." - BK
the players love Gomes and Cabrera
those are the obvious places to upgrade the offense, and that would create a potential rift
dunno how popular Cordero is, but he’s the next guy I’d look to replace since Masset has calmed down, Jordan Smith and Ondrusek have been out of their mind lately, the rotation depth goes 8 deep, Rhodes is Rhodes, Fisher was good recently, and Chapman is in our future
I think Gomes seems like the kind of guy who would put team first.
If he knew they were bringing in a guy who could help the team, I think he’d be on board.
"Red Reporter - An elitist clique full of like-minded douchebags." - BK
I doubt it.
I like Gomes, but I see him as a guy that’s trying to get a fat contract somewhere, especially after being spurned by the entire MLB last year until the Reds made him a cheapo offer. He alluded to how much he enjoyed being a full time player a few weeks (or months?) ago, too, complaining that it was tough for him to come in off the bench or play well in a platoon role.
Well, I guess he is a pretty crappy PH.
I don’t know. I just don’t think we can hang with the big boys in the long run without an extra bat.
"Red Reporter - An elitist clique full of like-minded douchebags." - BK
they need another hammer reliever though
in order to really compete in the postseason. One more lockdown reliever and one more big bat, at the very least.

Balentien has been doing nothing else well, though, which has me very skeptical.
He's only really strugged in June.
He hit well in May, and has hit for a decent average and huge power in July. Oddlly enough, he has struggled at home this season (.182 .242 .380), which might explain his poor overall numbers.

Brandon Phillips' interview with Pic
made it onto to BBT, They liked the “500 hundred feet” thing too. They also showed the clip of Rolen and Votto talking. I thought I could see Votto asking Rolen “all the way?” but not sure. I’m assuming Rolen told him Phillips’ homerun made it to the slide, but I couldn’t tell. That was a fun game,
Well another win for the Reds
The more I think about it, if the guys on the team love SloCab and Jonny then so do I.Sure I’d like to see Janishplay more but the team seems to doing pretty well with these two old vets. I wouldn’t mind seeing Walt get astrong back-up 3rd baseman as Rolen misses a lot of games with hos back probs.
I still believe that neither Stibbs nor Heisey have show their true selves yet and maynot for another year or so. If a quality CF was available that’s where I’d put my money….I do believe that there is smething to Vet.leadership as shown buy Gomes, Cabrerra and Rolen and that there is a ‘chemistry, a confidence and sureness onthis team that’s been missing for along time.
So Walt don’t fix it if ain’t broke…andfind us a either more consistent hitting CF or a more comsistent pitching closer..

Pitino then testifies that “it is physically possible” he could have gotten her pregnant but declines to go further. Thankfully topic ends.
