That counts! Reds win, 4-3.

PrintJoe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Drew Stubbs. The embattled centerfielder rediscovered his love affair with Wrigley Field and went 3-4 with 2 runs, 2 RBI, a double and a home run. He didn't even strike out! Honorable mentions go to Ramon Hernandez and Starlin Castro. Nick Masset did a good job to nail down the victory, but he did walk a batter with the bases loaded.
Key Plays
- Drew Stubbs got the Reds first hit off Randy Wells, a double to lead off the third inning. Ramon Hernandez then singled to center, which was enough to allow the speedy Stubbs to score. Reds lead, 1-0.
- Kosuke Fukudome matched Stubbs with a double of his own in the third. Starlin Castro singled off of Edinson Volquez and moved Fukudome to third, and Derrek Lee hit a sacrifice fly to bring him in. Game tied, 1-1.
- Offensive futility was the theme of the game. It wasn't until the eighth inning that Drew Stubbs homered off of Wells to give the Reds the lead again. Hernandez followed with an infield single, and Chris Heisey walked. Bronson Arroyo pinch ran for Hernandez and made it to third as Brandon Phillips grounded into a double play. Paul Janish came through with a single though and Arroyo trotted home. Reds lead, 3-1.
- Carlos Marmol pitched the ninth for the Cubs and struck out Scott Rolen. But then Laynce Nix hit a high pop fly that Blake DeWitt dropped. Nix had been running hard and so ended up on second base. Pinch hitter Juan Francisco popped out, but the suddenly strong Drew Stubbs hit a single off of Lady Marmol-ade and gave the Reds a seemingly extra cushion run. Reds lead, 4-1.
- Francisco Cordero came in to close out matters, but oh my, did he do the opposite. Coco walked Blake DeWitt on four pitches before striking out Koyie Hill on three pitches. He then walked pinch hitter Mike Fontenot, and walked Kosuke Fukudome. Bases loaded, all on walks, and Starlin Castro came to the plate representing the winning run. Coco seemed to get tough, jumping out to an 0-2 count, but after Castro fouled off a few pitches, Cordero ran a pitch too far in and hit him, forcing in a run. Nick Masset was then summoned from the bullpen and struck out Derrek Lee. However, he then walked Aramis Ramirez, cutting the lead to one run with the bases still loaded and All-Star Marlon Byrd at the plate. STRIKE THREE! Masset rang him up to end the game, and Reds fans everywhere passed out from blessed relief. Reds win, 4-3.
Other Notes
- Drew Stubbs had three hits after being 1 for his previous 37. He is batting .318 against the Cubs this year, with five of his 14 homers coming against Chicago. Prior to this game, Stubbs sported a .976 OPS at Wrigley Field, the best mark by far of any stadium he's played in.
- Edinson Volquez allowed six hits but only one run. The bullpen allowed no hits, but gave up two runs.
- Reds pitchers combined to issue nine walks and one hit batter.
- Stubbs has 14 home runs, which is tied for third most on the team with Brandon Phillips.
- The Reds are hotter than Gemma Arterton when it comes to winning series. Since the All-Star break, they are 6-0-1, and in the last thirteen series (including the current one) they have a record of 10-1-1.

this is an awesome game by volquez
gives me a lot of hope. Still walking too many batters though. Same for Cordero, that’s been his big problem of late. What’s up with that? You got one of the best defenses behind you! You don’t have to strike everyone out guys.
I don't know if it's "awesome" necessarily, but he gave us a useful, positive game
Even though he did it more like a tightrope walker than a bulldozer, he got us through nearly seven innings with only one run allowed. So, kudos.
I caught only part of the game on radio, but Volquez sounded more lucky than good
nix made a nice catch and doubled a guy off early on. Sounded like Votto and Janish also bailed him out. Time to opt Edinson down.

Does he have any options left?
He’s definitely used two, but I’m not sure if the third counted as a September call-up or not.
I think he does have options left
He’s not on the list of Reds who are out of options.

Whassup Muffins!
Glad to see you guys are winning and staying on top of the Cards and beating the pitiful Cubs. I must admit, I had to hide away from here when you guys were playing the Braves due to my current ABP (Anyone But Philadelphia) campaign, but I’m glad that the heart palpitations were rewarded with a win today.
Any chance you guys bring up Chapman or some other kind of relief help to push CoCo into a lower leverage role? I’d be done with the dude by now.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park. In Rizzo and Ramos we trust.
I think I'm glad I wasn't following this one, I don't need any help going bald
This is probably really unlikely, but I wonder if a phantom injury/DL trip is in CoCo’s future. Give him time to rest and get straightened out for Sept. At this point, it’s not likely that Chapman would do any worse.

I would have formally demoted him by now..
and went with Closer by Committee. His WHIP is just too dangerous. I’d also take a poll of which pitchers think it’s important to have defined roles in the bullpen, then trade or demote those who do and use those who don’t as the situation dictates. In fairness, the bullpen selections have been a bit more fluid lately but Cordero still gets a free pass and definitely has to earn his way back IMO.
He's already helping us!

The Marlins announcers talked for a bit during their game about Cordero’s disaster, noted with some amazement that he got pulled out of the game today, and said that he’s racking up the saves but with an ERA over 4.00, and that’s not good for your closer.
by DevilsAdvocate on Aug 7, 2010 8:06 PM EDT up reply actions
He now has the highest WHIP on the team.
It was 1.5 before today, and now it’s up to 1.55 by my calculations. Nick Masset’s is now at 1.49.
Incidentally, Masset and Cordero have pitched the same number of innings. Masset has given up 52 hits (6 HR) and 24 walks, and Cordero has given up 46 hits (5 HR) and walked 31.
Oh, and the team WHIP is 1.343.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.

I think Cordero has finally worn away Dusty's patience.
The last 2 games, they’ve started relievers warming in the pen at the first sign of Cordero messing around. Appears much more proactive than earlier in the year, when it seemed like they’d let the situation get out of control before bringing in someone else.
The 2nd game in the swept-by-Pittsburgh debacle (Apr 17) is the perfect example – that game, they let him load the bases, walk in the tying run, and follow with a single to lose the game.
How lovely to see Dusty trying to stay ahead of the game.
agreed. I think it's a combination of Dusty being fed up and not wanting to needlessly lose games in a pennant race.
I think the Izzy possibility is interesting. There’s a good chance he’s only as good as a middle reliever at this point, but with our defense, if he can just come in and throw strikes, I’ll take it.
I’d say put someone like Masset in there, but I actually believe the closer needs to have the personality to handle intense late game situations like that, and Izzy certainly has that experience.
It’s going to be interesting to see how it plays out.
see what I did there with uzr? it’s like a LOL cats saber-pun combo.--Verka Serduchka
I'm skeptical of Isringhausen
only because he hasn’t had a good, full season in the majors since ‘07. And he’d have to bump someone off the 40-man, on top of possibly Grandal taking a spot. But he certainly has the experience. With Bailey and Harang on the mend, it’s going to be a real crunch.
I fully expect mgmt to say that Cordero is still “getting the job done” by notching 30 saves, but I’m hoping seeing Masset means they’ll at least consider a little committee work. It’s not like Cordero needs to be totally unseated. Masset, Ondrusek or Rhodes could take some 9ths.

The fact that he brought in Masset should speak volumes. I don’t think Cordero’s lost the closer’s job yet, but his hold on it is incredibly tenuous.

More likely Valaika
He’s on the 40-man.
I think the Reds made a mistake, calling up END instead of someone who can play SS and 2B. I suppose they figured that if something happened, Cairo could fill in for the rest of the game, and they could call up someone from AAA the next day.
But the more usual situation in Cincinnati is for the injured player to be “day to day,” meaning playing with a short bench for a few days. I suppose they could swap END for Valaika today, but they probably won’t.
Never mind the possibility that BP will miss more than one day…
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
So if Scotty gets his usual get-away day rest ...
we’re looking at an infield tomorrow of Cairo (4), END (5), and The Invisible Man (6) with limited reserves.
