Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

For the first time all year, a team outside the NL East wins a series at Citi Field. Reds win, 3-1.

I'll be damned, his smile looks good from this side, too.  (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)



Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game

Brandon Phillips.  The All-Star went 2-5, hitting a double and a home run, driving in two.  He played some eye-popping defense as well.  Honorable mentions go to Chris Heisey and Bronson Arroyo.

Key Plays

  • Angel Pagan homered off of Bronson Arroyo in the first inning.  It would be the only run the Mets would get.  Mets lead, 1-0.
  • Brandon Phillips tied things up for the Reds, hitting a home run, his twelfth of the year, off of Jon Niese in the third inning.  Game tied, 1-1.
  • The Mets threatened a few times, but timely pitching and defense, such as Chris Heisey's spectacular catch in the sixth inning to rob Jason Bay of extra bases, kept the Mets off the board.
  • After making that catch, Heisey came up to bat in the seventh inning and hit a home run to left field to give the Reds the lead.  Then Drew Stubbs reached on an infield single, and one out later, Bronson Arroyo blooped a bunt to reach base.  Brandon Phillips then hit a ground rule double to drive in Stubbs, although Bronson would have easily scored on the play.  Reds win, 3-1.

Other Notes

  • Bronson Arroyo did not walk a batter, only the second time this season he's done that.
  • Bronson pitches well against the Mets.  Going into tonight's game, he had held them to a career .655 OPS against, the seventh lowest total of any team Arroyo has faced.  One of the teams that has fared even worse against Arroyo in his career?  The Cincinnati Reds, with a .568 OPS against in two games.
  • Arroyo's allowed 1 run at Citi Field in 17 innings, has never walked a Met there, only given up 11 hits, and struck out 8.  It's like anti-Toronto.
  • The Reds wore "Vote Votto" shirts under their uniforms today.  Did you?

I'm fine with that, too,

since I’ve read that Alonso doesn’t have the foot speed to be an outfielder. I am wary, however, of them doing what the Brewers did for Sabathia – giving up their best prospect so they could win the wild card and be bounced in the divisional round.

by Gapper on Jul 7, 2010 11:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

You never know until it happens though

I think we have to make a move to show we are serious about winning this thing. Plus a hammer at the top of the rotation — be it Lee, Haren, or whoever — would be a huge addition to this team.

by wishfuldrifter on Jul 7, 2010 11:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm against trading for Lee.

If we had a glaring hole in our rotation, then I’d be worried. Okay, well maybe Homer/LeCure/Wood, but I’m confident in Wood to get us through the year if Homer can’t get his shit together. And with Volquez coming back, that’s Arroyo, Cueto, Leake, Volquez, Harang, and Lee. Six starters, when we only need four in the playoffs, even after Bud adjusts the schedule to eliminate off days. Unnecessary, and I don’t think we need to block the Cardinals from getting him. Save Francisco and Alonso and whoever else it will cost for a SS acquisition (or closer, which won’t happen).

but what SSs are available?

You’re telling me Stephen Drew is worth more wins this year than Cliffly?

Luck?

Luck is when you get Ryan Franklin after he’s stunk up everywhere he’s played, and he turns into your closer. Or when you acquire other former Reds who sucked in Cincinnati but somehow remember how to play baseball when they become Cardinals (and especially when they play the Reds. Jason LaRue, Felipe Lopez, etc.).

Luck is when a pitcher completely forgets how to play baseball, goes to the minors, and comes back to be a factor in your offense (Ankiel, 2008). Wha? Luck is when you take a player nobody has ever heard of and he becomes a cornerstone of your offense (Ludwick circa 2008). Luck is when you let a guy skip AAA and he turns out to be the best player in the game.

The Cards have been riding a hot streak for years. What a bunch of hypocrites.

I talk shit over here about the Cards to try for laughs.. (and cheap recs, I'm such a whore)

I would not do it at VEB. I think they’re taking what we say here a bit too seriously. A lot of this is either tongue-in-cheek, or reactions to a lot of the media treating this division as belonging to the Cards right from the start. We’ve endured over a decade of bad ownership and bad management that drove this once proud franchise into the fucking ground. Now that the Reds have shown they’re for real (at least for half a season) we feel like crowing about it a bit, and there’s nothing wrong with it.

Three superstars, one marginal player, and eleven minimum salary players?

I hope the Lakers wipe the floor with them, if they even make it to the finals.

In year one, sure.

But then all the ring-chasers will flock to Miami and they’ll rack up weird little loop holes (trade exceptions or w/e) to add other players and they’ll somehow end up with Chris Paul and Dwight Howard in 2 years.

I do too at this point.

His entourage has strung along Chicago, New York and Cleveland … and he bolts all of them for a traditionless, soulless, taxless team in Miami. Talk about loyalty. Talk about priorities. What a fucking copout. No one will respect his legacy – he’ll be known as the guy that took the easy route.

i respect him

thats exactly the decision i would have made, assuming thats what he’ll do

I would have picked Chicago if I was him.

Younger, less flashy, potential for much more consistency due to a useful defensive foundation..

Fuck Chicago. That franchise can blow up for all I care.

From the Fay
Bronson Arroyo came up big in the rubber game against the Mets. He allowed one run over eight innings to push his record to 94.

Wow he pushes his record to 94!!!
 
That is amazing, terrible, mediocre, or makes no sense!

Amazingly, terribly, nonsensically mediocre?

I am referring of course to John Fay’s writing.

by RedsMasochist on Jul 8, 2010 1:56 AM EDT up reply actions  

On the other hand after this season Joel and John will be sriting another book...this one about the Imrobable 2010 Red's Road to WS Champs

So but this one now while it is still HOT

I'm sorry everything got so ugly with VEB

they are very down right now, but they really talked some crap about the Reds and RR (with the exception of some psoters). I’m going to avoid jumping into that, even though I really feel like commenting. No big deal, I just want to win and see Votto, Rolen, Phillips and Rhodes in one of these:

(size should be ok, but PB is goofy right now)

by Red_Poodle on Jul 8, 2010 2:24 AM EDT reply actions  

Wow just got through reading all that....

…and I realize I love these Redlegs and still hate the Cards. Their fans need to suck it up and realize that the torch is about to get passed. They seem to forget all those years when the only bright spot on their team was when a certain SS with no bat would do a back flip.

Not a goddamn thing.

Carrier’s stuff rocks the house.

A Pete Rose by any other name would still smell of cheap hookers and pinetar.

by Pops Daniels on Jul 8, 2010 3:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well, I'm fond of the J.K. Carrier

Pinot. Overpriced to be sure, against a good Bourgogne, but still delicious. If you’re looking for rockin’ white, Chehalem chard is hard to beat. Again, a French style, ‘cause the growing conditions are similar to Burgandy in the Willamette Valley. (Chehalem has the Inox and the regular. Stick with the regular. It’s better)

Never had a bad Pinot out of Oregon

or Washington for that matter

I’m not a Chard fan at all. Never liked the initial taste of it.

I agree

beyond not being a good thing to do, a flame war between two team blogs could be some kind of terrible bad luck—I’m not even really kidding

Atlanta was terrible, absolutely terrible and it’s no fun to have that rubbed in. It’s not like VEB haven’t had posters give us crap before, but it’s not a good thing to kick VEB when they are down

by Red_Poodle on Jul 8, 2010 9:53 AM EDT up reply actions  

If we end up winning the division

I’m going to rub it just as hard in the faces of Cards fans as they rubbed it in mine. Not necessarily online, but I will be making some (more) Cardinal fans cry.

This is the reason I've refrained from joining VEB

And why I try not to go read it, because generally they just enrage me.

VEB?

I go out of town and there is a melee?
A virtual melee?
Damn I miss all the fun…
Although I will refrain from going to VEB and taking a virtual shit on their virtual dining room table…its only because Slyde asks us not to.

Although………….

I dont think the initial post was quite that bad

it was more like throwing a dead skunk in their backyard and they weren’t having any of it

well, I was thinking more Petey, Verka, Slyde

but we’re probably partying at your house, from what I’ve gathered from surveillance reports.

Sure, Stately Daniels Manor is the place.

what do you think the surveillance reports were to determine?
