Seriously
Fuck Harang. Get the hell out of here. Yeah, bad luck- you were good when we sucked, but we can’t have deadweight now.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
Dusty I told you before this half of inning
get the bullpen up as soon as you see trouble with Hangumran
how long are we going to leave him out there?
you don’t have to let the starting pitcher lose the game.
Joey Votto is my MVP.
His team gave him 4 damn runs against one of the best pitchers in baseball.
Dipshit.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
Every single time.
He does this every time. He cannot keep a lead. There’s a reason he loses so many games, and it’s because he pitches to the situation as shittily as possible every time. Anti-clutch.
Well, I think he might be coming out for the next inning as well

Are we to expect Dusty being lazy with the bullpen in the playoffs
realy who did not see this coming
good bye Aaron
i will always cherish 2005-2007. But your time as a Red must end.
Will LeCure, Volquez or Maloney take his spot?
Joey Votto is my MVP.
my guess is LeCure
since he already had a decent stint with us, unless Volquez has really improved his game in Dayton
That was a quick change of opinion on Mr. Harang.
I assume you will wipe your memory of this start tomorrow so you can go back to defending him before he does this again in his next start?
i called for Lecure to take his start today
I wasn’t terribly impressed with his last start, and Lecure has pitched well. What I did argue was that Harang would have single handidly made it impossible for the Reds to be a playoff team if he didn’t go on the DL.
Joey Votto is my MVP.
he needs to go back on the DL
with some kind of injury, we need him out of here. It’s just obvious that he can’t help us at all. It is unpleasant to see a once great pitcher unable to be helpful in a year where we are finally in first place
Until we lose the game he pitches, then lose the next game because the pen is toasted and can't perform properly.
and then the cycle continues until the Reds are forced to have one starter put up a great outing to stop it…and then Harang starts again.
Maybe in years past
But there are tons of extra arms in the pen and other guys to take Harang’s spot in the rotation. I doubt he gets another start.

We're referring to the earlier discussion me and Justin were having
in which I stated Harang being in the rotation all year keeps this team out of the playoffs.
Leake wasn't much better after June 1
Leake would probably have been moved to relief earlier, and Harang would have put up a similar performance, or Harang would have been released.
Joey Votto is my MVP.
you really think he's a -7 WAR pitcher?
i mean, i know what you are saying and you are clearly not saying this. today may have all but proved your argument, but you dont need hyperbole.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Sep 6, 2010 4:28 PM EDT up reply actions
I don't believe that WAR is particularly useful for pitchers, first of all
he’s a pen destroyer and it’s gotta hurt the offense, knowing that no matter what they do they can’t count on a lead being safe.
*Cough* $12 million *Cough*
It is the soothing thing about history that it does repeat itself. -Gertrude Stein
he made $7.1M between 2005 and 2007
so i think the reds broke even overall for his production.
Joey Votto is my MVP.
Ubaldo vs. Harang looked like doomsday form the beginning
good news is this inning has gone on so long, Ubaldo Jiminez is probably cold by now!
why does Dusty wait until the starting pitcher fully implodes
to bring i the bullpen? Everyone knew where that was going
...AND a double A pitcher gets Harang nuts off the burner.
It is the soothing thing about history that it does repeat itself. -Gertrude Stein
was there a true point to bringing harang back? beyond it being the honorable thing to do? i'm all for rewarding guys for their contributions...
but harang has sucked for years now…the 60 day DL seems like a no-brainer…a la lincoln.
meanwhile
Cards have taken the lead (Holliday, who else) and are threatening more.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
he will probably be moved to long relieve
and will sit in the bullpen for the rest of the season. The Reds have plenty of pitchers on the 40 man, and DFA’ing him at this point is an unnecessary slap in the face.
Joey Votto is my MVP.
It would let us bring up an outfielder.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
No point in DFAing him.
He’s on the 25 man roster for good now, short of a 60 day DL.
At least that’s my understanding of it.
So, he gets put in the pen for long relief, and either Leake or Cure become the 5th pitcher for the rest of the season. Although, with two days off…how many more times will we need the 5th pitcher? Three more times?
he doesnt' need to be dl'd to be left off the playoff roster
your terminology is confusing.
Joey Votto is my MVP.
he does if we want somebody to take his playoff roster spot, I believe
but hell if I really know, not like I’ve seen a playoff team any time in my memory.
I think he does.
Anybody on the 25 man roster on September 1st who isn’t on the 60 day DL after that point is on the playoff roster. DFA doesn’t matter.
DFA takes him off the team.
If he’s not on the team, how can he be on the playoff roster?
Phone's ringing, Dude.
did the cubs DL Estes in 2003?
or did the Cardinals DL Marquis a few years ago?
those are both pitchers who were left off the post season roster, because they were very sub-par 5th starters.
Joey Votto is my MVP.
Maybe they weren't on the 25 man roster?
You can DFA ‘em on August 31st and call them up on September 1st and you’re cool. I think.
I don’t know, I just read this crap.
no you can't
If you DFA a guy, he’s gone.
Unless he clears waivers and accepts a minor league assignment.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Yeah, you DFA them,
they clear waivers, they have to be down 10 days except the minor league season is over, so you call them back up. They don’t even have to report.
2 and maybe 3 players will be on the 60 day dl
that gives the reds teh ability to put 3 people on the playoff roster who weren’t in Cincinnati on August 31. Plus Nix will be returnign from the DL, so somebody will have to go to make room for Nix.
Joey Votto is my MVP.
I think you're confused
You can option players to the minors – if they have options left, and if they are not veterans. That’s when they have to be down 10 days.
DFA gets them off the roster. It’s usually a prelude to a trade or an outright release.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
OK, so no 10 day rule...
But I thought you had to DFA or 60-day DL somebody to get them off the 25 man roster who didn’t have options.
I don't really know anything.
But does the 25-man roster even exist after 9/1?
by the finest muffins on Sep 6, 2010 5:41 PM EDT up reply actions
Not quite
There is no 25-man roster now. Just the 40-man.
That’s why there’s no 15-day DL in September.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
yeah
we dont need a 5th starter any more than 2 or 3 times through the end of the year.

While googling for some information
I discovered that WikiAnswers can be incredibly informative.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
All the baserunners were put on base by Jiminez...
since he’s you know… still in the game.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
Hrm.
I wonder if they would have walked Votto if BP hadn’t taken second.

Gomes with a popup?

Okay, here we go Matty. Audition for Harang's spot.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
And my daily Harrangue...
on why is Gomes batting in front of the catcher? If you were a pitcher, would you rather walk Votto to get to Hanigan/Hernandez, or to get to Gomes? Yeah, I thought so.
Two games in a row where the home plate ump
squeezes the Reds pitcher and gives close calls to the "premere "pitcher Carp and Jimenez
So it has probably been a week since Maloney pitched?
we have a soft tossing command pitcher who is probably rusty, who has rarely pitched in relief in his professional career? Optimal!
Joey Votto is my MVP.
TIME TO GET RID OF HARANG
we get the lucky day when Jimenez is terrible
Harang still couldn’t put it together.
keep it real BP
Gonzalez is starting to run away with the batting title
unless Infante makes his way in
Glad we have Janish at short. Nice recovery Maloney.

"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, October 2, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped, and summer was gone." - A. Bartlett Giamatti

Go ahead and pop up Jonny, just watch some pitches first

I need a fucking calculator
to keep track of the LoB.
Jimenez has a WHIP
of 2.17 on the day. Seven hits and six walks in six innings. Oh, plus a HBP too.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
At least there is a chance to see the Havana Heater!

There should be a clown that comes out and takes the pitcher off the mound with zany music playing in the background.

Imagine that, if you don't swing at the first pitch
on a pitcher with control issues, you end up on first base
I knew I should have gone to the store before this game.

Bray is probably done being "effective"
by occams_tiger_teeth on Sep 6, 2010 5:25 PM EDT reply actions
i have always been concerned about Bray
his WHIP was 1.57 in 2008, that is not a recipe for long term success.
Joey Votto is my MVP.
This is a good situation for Chapman
he needs to be able to pitch out of these situations.
Joey Votto is my MVP.
Chapman time!

what was the throwing error?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
he was sitting on his ass
and he lobbed the ball to BeeP. it went way over his head.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Sep 6, 2010 5:38 PM EDT up reply actions
so
Runner took a base on the error, but a run would have scored anyway?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
the runner was on second before teh play
so no he would not have scored if Janish held on to the ball.
Joey Votto is my MVP.
ouch
Janish really does need to think a little more before he throws.

Hold the ball!!!!!!!!!! FUCK

I guess he needed a day off after being a month off

Cabrera probably wouldn't have made a throwing error there
but he definitely wouldn’t have made another play.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Now the defense is letting us down.
We are boned.

4 errors on the year for Janish.
I know it’s not the best measure of defensive skill, but if he was making tons of retarded plays, I’m sure he would have more than 4

Cabrera
10 errors so far this season. The most on the team. By a lot.

you’re a newbie to the site, thus probably a fairweather fan, thus probably lack competent baseball knowledge

Sure, but
it’s really hard to argue that Cabrera is even on Janish’s level defensively. Janish will make a few more dumb plays/throwing errors simply because he will get to a ton more balls than Cabrera. Plus his arm is a lot stronger and generally very accurate.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Defensively he is quite an upgrade over Cabrera.
Offensively it is debatable who is better.

So I'm late to this shitshow
I’m so glad Dusty decided to burn up his bullpen in the first of four games in Coors Field. Why in the hell did Matt Maloney pitch one inning? I thought when he came in, he’d be going 3 innings or so.
And oh yeah, this ump sucks hard.

Dusty did the same thing when Owings was the "long man".
I really don’t understand what he is thinking.

To be fair
we do have a lot of relievers up because of the expanded roster…
and Dusty is determined to use as many of them as possible.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
