Red Reposter: Mini Chapmania and the Brechtian Rzepczynski Affair

Aroldis Chapman pitched a scoreless, hitless inning in the Arizona Fall League yesterday
16 pitches, 8 strikes, 1 BB, 1 K. And did some young rube really try to steal a base on Chapman? Runners have only succeeded in just 4 of 10 attempts lifetime against this LEFT HANDER who consistently throws around 100. Chapman's outing was the most important and only thing Reds-related that happened yesterday. But since there is no photo or video evidence of it, I'm still not completely convinced it wasn't just a Gameday error.
Doug Gray at Reds Minor Leagues rounds Second Base with his "State of the Farm" series
Especially relevant with Brandon Phillips' contract talks on a slow boil, there's some exciting 2B talent winding its way up the minor league ladder. Ronald Torreyes tops the list at RML. Doug points out that Henry Rodriguez doesn't have the glove that Torreyes does, but H-Rod will be 22 in February and made it to AA this season. If 2013 is the first post-Phillips year, H-Rod would stand to be the in-house heir apparent, depending on how quickly he can hit his way through Louisville.
Ken Griffey Jr. was awarded the Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award before Game 4
He also met Zooey Deschanel. Assuming he's a dude in his mid-20s who went to a liberal arts college, Griffey has now fulfilled two lifelong dreams. Ken Griffey Jr. loved playing baseball in such a contagious, palpable way that I suspect it inspired a good portion of the fandom for anyone aged 18-35 (A critical demographic MLB is failing to reach in the abysmal WS ratings). I'd give him an award for that too, but all I've got is a bunch of Zoey Deschanel memorabilia.

Baseball Minutia brings us an historical SI cover from 37 years ago
Grant Brisbee: "Say, Did Anyone Notice Those Curious Decisions From Tony La Russa?"
Grant has the goods on the dust-cloud of bunts, intentional walks and bullpen mismanagement last night:
(I)n Game 5, La Russa was the one playing checkers. Wait, no, he was the one playing a game of Life with missing pieces, so he had to use broken spaghetti noodles to represent the family.
Fangraphs also tries to reason with TLR in the aftermath of the decision/accident of having Mark Rcbryrbbrubfjncknznzinksky face Mike Napoli:
Maybe Jason Motte, having gotten the word late, wasn't ready yet? Who cares?! It's the World Series! No more baseball after this! Take a dive on your way to the mound! Feign a heart attack! Bring in the left fielder to warm up like he's going to pitch and then put in your reliever! Do something to wrest yourself free from the burning vehicle you're currently in, TLR! It's Game 5 of the World Series! This one really matters!
Blame it on the Red Phone: "The real reason Tony La Russa had communication problems"
This is a truly bizarre press room exchange, captured in transcript by Big League Stew. Things happen first as tragedy and are recapped as farce. Although this farce starts out kind of like an Abbot and Costello routine, turns into one of those bad Kids in the Hall sketches and ends up like an avante-garde theater piece that threatens the fabric of our democracy.

Joe Posnanski on Fox Baseball coverage
And now that Moneyball has been made, I have an idea for a movie that involves Posnanski, the Fire Joe Morgan guys and Zooey Deschanel. But this time I'm not walking into that Hollywood exec's office spouting off about how "you just put Brad Pitt, Bill James and Aaron Sorkin in a blender." I need cash UP-FRONT.

From what I've seen, The New Girl is about as satisfying as Junya's Reds career
I was talking about this with a co-worker today, but I don’t really get why FOX feels the need to have its TV stars at the game. I’m not more likely to watch Glee or The New Girl simply because Joe Buck makes some comment about the show while the camera pans to the cast for three seconds. And wasn’t Zooey gone by like the sixth inning anyways?
Yeah, she wasn't very pitch-efficient
The show is pretty bad, despite the fact that I think they seem to really want me specifically to like it. Posing KGJ and Zooey together wasn’t very subtle.

I agree with this
So far Person of Interest has been good. I like Jonathan Nolan as a writer, but I am thinking it could get very formulaic and repetitive very quickly.

Yep
Jonathan Nolan is Chris Nolan’s brother, and has actually helped with most of Chris’ big movies, in the writing department. That’s what initially piqued my interest as well. So far the writing has been decent, and I have few complaints with the show, except as noted, it is in danger of becoming repetitive.

but Damon Wayans Jr. was way better than the guy who replaced him after the first episode.
The new girl is a fine show & it gets monster ratings

"the only place they lost was the scoreboard"

fast forwarding through the commercials allows you to watch shows pretty quickly

i hate the commercials too
that’s the worst thing about hulu plus. it’s a pay service & they still have commercials in their programming.
sporting events are basically the only thing left that i watch commercials.
however, the red zone channel has brought an end to commercials during NFL games. makes it tough to schedule pee breaks!
You should float the idea of a chamber pot/bedpan to the missus, see how that goes
One oddity I found is that The Walking Dead waits 15-20 minutes to take their first break, then it’s every 7 minutes or so. Annoying as hell.
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
eventually you will give up completely on TV as a form of entertainment,
The vast majority of shows suck and the goods ones are not worth sitting through or even fast forwarding through the commercials. I still catch Masterpiece theatre and Colbert from time to time but the other stuff can pretty much blow me.

It was pretty bad the first two episodes
Way too much bad singing. The male characters weren’t likable. They even switched the black guy on us and pretended it was no big thing.
I had no idea that it’s a ratings smash, but I don’t care either way.
they gave a storyline reason for the change
it’s not like the 2 black dudes are playing the same character
It was completely transparent
“So Coach is leaving, but in an unrelated note, black guy no. 2 is moving in!” Also, do you buy black guy no. 2 as a Euro-pro basketball player? He looks like an average 5’ 9" guy.
I understand they’re going to give the audience a token, but they have to try harder than that.
unrelatedly,
Grantland published a piece on why Zooey’s Anthem was terrible. Because Grantland is the worst like that.
"You said 'walks' twice."
"I like walks."
The only good thing about Grantland are the Jonah Keri articles.

Has any stadium used The Who's "Substitute" when the opposing team brings in a relief pitcher?
I’m guessing they have, as it’s not a whole lot less obvious than “Put Me in Coach,” but it’s a also a pretty funny song with delightfully sarcastic lyrics.
I like the introductory video sequence they do at Pirates games. I wish the Reds would do some kind of high-powered highlight reel to the tune of “Race for the Prize” by the Flaming Lips. The lyrics “there’s is to win, if it kills them” kinda sums up Pete Rose’s philosophy on life/baseball.

I'm pretty impressed by the Reds' intro highlight reel

I am usually the last person to be cranky about announcers, but Joe Buck simply cannot convey meaning and excitement in baseball. It's a shame.
His sad-man-what-do-I-know-heck-what-do-I-care look is better suited to 48 hours at 10:30PM on Friday nights.
Never say "TRADE VOTTO"
What, you didn't like when he stopped paying attention to the baseball game in order to have a ten minute conversation about impressions with Derek Holland.
Holland seems like a good guy, I’d love to have him on my team. And I too enjoyed his impressions. But Joe Buck seemed to forget what his job is.

Please, let's not let the TLR phone moment pass without adequate ridicule/critique.
What an idiot! And I’ve read more than a couple articles that take his complaints at face value, without, you know, doing the journalistic thing of actually figuring out whether the bullpen phones were broken and whether that is even a plausible excuse (it’s not).

Posnanski does a nice job recapping some of the more horrible playoff performances his teams have had in his career
And I know he’s won more games than almost anyone, and he’s been around forever, and he shits gold, and all that.
Still, dude is a dumbass.
It feels so nice to be back to normal
thats an inaccurate accusation
TLR is widely regarded as the most intelligent baseball manager in at least recent history.
He may be a whinyass or an oddass, but he’s no dumbass.

He's the most over-managing manager
I keep hearing these claims of “most intelligent” but I have yet to see any evidence to back it up.
It feels so nice to be back to normal
He has a law degree, that makes him smarter than 99% of the on field personnel in baseball
Seriously, I hate the whiny ass motherfucker but make no mistake – he’s smart.

If you think having a law degree makes you smart,
FordhamRam and ken will be over at my place eating paste.
Knowing lots of options =/= choosing the right one.
"You said 'walks' twice."
"I like walks."
Perhaps my favorite Bill James' quote:
“Only in baseball does a law degree from Florida State make you a genius.”
So he's a one-percenter?
No wonder Justin hates him!
Also, I generally agree. Probably not 99%, but much higher than 50%.

Oddly enough, the NYT just ran a piece about bullpen phones the other day
That included some TLR quotes.
But every now and then, over the course of a long season, problems can arise.
Lance Lynn, a Cardinals relief pitcher, recalled a game earlier this season in Philadelphia, when a complex technical issue forced the Cardinals’ dugout to lose communication with the bullpen.
"Somebody didn’t put the phone back on the hook all the way, so it wouldn’t ring through," Lynn said, laughing.
Manager Tony La Russa had to send Jaime Garcia, a young starter, across the field between innings to relay instructions to the relievers about who needed to get warmed up — and to tell them to put the phone down properly. "And that was a long run, too," Lynn said….
"You have technical foul-ups," La Russa said. "That’s why I limit my technical exploits to paper and pencil."
You couldn’t ask for better timing for that article.
im surprised it doesnt happen more often
Especially in this age of relievers warming up without being visible from the dugout.
I love pitchers warming up down the foul lines at wrigley, especially when a reliever uncorks a wild one.

My favorite aspect of Citizen's Bank Park is having the bullpens behind the right-center wall
A stroll by the visitor’s ‘pen is a nice excuse to stretch the legs. I’ll never forget the look of excitement on some meathead’s face when Jon Coutlangus was warming up and he got a look at the back of the jersey.

hey, you want to know how to make Reggie Sanders cry?
Show him this picture:
"You said 'walks' twice."
"I like walks."
Before last year, he had only started six games
Derek Lowe is a little similar – he was a spot starter and reliever for a few seasons, then relieved (and mostly closed), and then switched back to the rotation. Dave Stewart is another. Edinson Volquez should be joining the club in 2015.
good call on Lowe
It was pretty clear Wilson was being groomed to be a starter in the minors. He started 6 games his first year in the majors with disastrous results, and was moved to the bullpen where he stayed for 4 years.
Let a man come in and do the Popcorn.
I hope Travis Wood turns out like Wilson
Though itd be a shame for him to be stuck as a reliever that long.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
still no decision
They are talking about it, and might talk about it some more before deciding.
The group is likely to meet at least once again later in the afternoon to go over options and discuss the forecast. There’s no scheduled time for another meeting, Mozeliak said.
But he stressed that it would “not be unusual” for them to meet several more times.
Several more times? Ye gods. The game is at 8pm tonight.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
So back to the thread.
If the Reds manage to piss of Brandon Phillips enough he might just find his ass on the trading block. Enter Todd Frazier.
Also with BP and Votto on the block there has to be some killer pitching available…
Just sayin’
Scott Roland should retire tomorrow.
Why would they postpone the game?
Fuck, somehow TLR is responsible for this.
Cingrani for 2012 Closer!
I doubt TLR is behind this.
It might actually benefit the Rangers, allowing Derek Holland to start Game 7, if necessary.
