2010 Game 115 Thread: Cardinals at Reds

St. Louis Cardinals at Cincinnati Reds, Aug 11, 2010 12:35 PM EDT



Next Game

St. Louis Cardinals
@ Cincinnati Reds

Wednesday, Aug 11, 2010, 12:35 PM EDT
Great American Ball Park

Adam Wainwright vs Bronson Arroyo

Partly cloudy,rain. Winds blowing in from left field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game time temperature around 90.

 

Complete Coverage >



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2010 - Adam Wainwright 16-6 2.07 1.00 154 42



W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2010 - Bronson Arroyo 12-6 3.83 1.16 78 50


Seems like any time we seem something significant happen - a big win, a disastrous loss, a fight - people want to be quick to draw a line of demarcation. "This is where everything will change," they'll say. After both of the ninth inning losses where they surrendered a 6-run lead, lots of people were saying "This is the beginning of the end." In the 20 games following the Atlanta loss, they went 12-8. In the 20 games following the Phillies loss, they went 11-9. The team is resilient. They have a knack for putting the past behind them. It may not happen today, but I don't see yesterday's game as the start of some long-term trend for the team.

The reason we may not see any difference today is because they've got a tough opponent on the mound. Adam Wainwright has given up 8 runs in his last 8 starts, and 6 of those came in one start versus the Mets on July 27. That's ridiculous. I wish I could say that the Reds will come out and get some revenge today, but it won't be easy.

Thankfully, Bronson Arroyo has been pitching nearly as effectively of late as well. Half of his earned runs over his last 7 starts came against the Nationals on the night he faced off against Stephen Strasburg. Hopefully he won't crack under similar pressure today. I don't think he will. As was said in the thread yesterday, he's probably the first guy the Reds want on the mound in this situation right now.

The game will be carried on FSN today, if you've got the access. Hopefully the only fireworks we see are from the Reds lighting up the scoreboard.

Go Reds!

Speaking of Strasburg

he got lit up for six ER in four and a third innings when he came back from the DL last night against the Marlins. I don’t mean to delight in others’ failures, but it’s nice to be reminded that every pitcher has crappy outings…

has put Dusty under some weird spell where the Dusty man doesnt realizes Johnny basically sucks and particularly is horrible against right handed pitching.

by davidmac84 on Aug 11, 2010 11:00 AM EDT up reply actions  

I still don't like Janish in the 2 spot.

Though I guess when Dusty starts Stubbs over Heisey (forget the fact that Heisey could be starting for Gomes for a moment), that leaves us without a Dusty-approved 2-hole hitter….hence Janish by default. I really liked that lineup with Heisey in the 2-spot and Janish in the 8-spot. I thought that when it had some success, that Dusty might stick with it. Call me a dreamer.

by MoAb on Aug 11, 2010 11:09 AM EDT up reply actions  

I'm not wild on Janish second against a righty

But it’s not like there’s an obvious alternative.

Heisey hasn’t been hitting all that well lately. They even pinch-hit for him last night. Is Stubbs winning back his spot?

I just rewatched it again... here are my observations

1. Carp needs to be suspended, he definitely said something to get everyone riled back up.

2. Ceuto was completely off the ground. He was kicking, but I think at first it was just a matter of trying to get out of the way. Then someone (I assume LaRue) lunged at him and caught a spike full in the face. But Gomes said it best “if you don’t want to be kicked, don’t be in kicking distance.”

3. Seeing Big Art take down Big Mac was awesome.

4. At one point, TLR had Dusty, Gomes, and Rhodes all staring him down… If I were him, I’d be scared.

Carpenter was in more physical danger than Cueto, and he didn’t strike anyone. I think it would be more than fair to include Carpenter in the instigation group along with BP, Molina, TLR, Baker, and Rolen. What Cueto did was indefensible, though.

by astrostl on Aug 11, 2010 12:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don't know.

Cueto didn’t seem to be trying to get into the middle of anything, but ended up pushed against the net by a huge group. I’m not saying he should have kicked, but doing something that situation doesn’t seem “indefensible.”

Carpenter most definitely instigated things, which is kind of a distinction here: he was clearly seeking it out, while Cueto wasn’t.

Let me write out a formal proof for you.

by Gray on Aug 11, 2010 12:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

I already raised the instigation point, and agree with you again. Those are words. Physical escalation is another level – even more so when weapons are involved – and I maintain that there was no justification for using cleats.

Joey Votto, resurgent Reds visit unfamiliar territory in NL Central

The low point of Joey Votto’s career amounted to a three-week break from the game in 2009, as he battled depression and anxiety in the wake of his father’s death.


His team’s nadir was longer, if not so personally tormenting: It’s been almost a decade since the Cincinnati Reds produced a winning season.


But Votto, 26, found a path out of his time spent in baseball limbo, and now the Reds are following him out of their own.


“It’s hard at times, but I’m enjoying life,” he says. “I am doing better, but it takes time to get to this point.”

Arroyo needs to pitch a perfect game, but that might not even get us the win.

How much longer til Dusty's gone?

sMarty reports that Dusty told him ...

that it was all over until Carpenter uttered a curse at Dusty, then Rolen took issue with that. Then it settled, then Oquendo starting screaming at someone, and it erupted again.

It sure seemed like things were settled until Carp decided to run his mouth for no apparent reason

But, you know, it’s just because he’s competitive!

Fey sez that Dusty spoke to Hal McCoy to clarify the context of BP's comments.

Hal said that the comment just sort of came out of BP, not necessarily prompted by a query.
