Cactus League Game 28: Reds vs. Padres
by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Mar 25, 2011 2:00 PM EDT
in Spring Training
Email
PrintIt may horrify you to know that Edinson Volquez, O.D.P., is the owner of an 11.47 spring ERA. While the ERA may be pure noise, and the run environment in Arizona has been bonkers, there's some cause for concern over how little tune-up the Wagon has gotten against major leaguers (4.2 IP) with just 6 days left until Baseballmas. The seven walks in 4.2 IP is no picnic either, but at least Volquez is missing some bats (5 K). In the spring before his 2008 All Star season, Volquez struck out a whopping 19 batsmen in 13 IP, but also allowed allowed an equal number of baserunners. The difference, then vs. now, is that only 3 runners reached by the base on balls (and one HBP). So while we generally gloss over balls in play during spring training, it's hard to ignore the wildness.
As Volquez sets out on his first full season after Tommy John surgery, he not only has an assured spot in the rotation, he's at the top of the order. The Golden Rubber. The Magnificent Mound. The Aaron Harang Chair for Pitching Before Anyone Else. This level of job security allows pitchers to work on things, something his predecessor Aaron Harang was often credited with doing during the spring. But what would provide some peace of mind, even if Volquez gets hit hard today, is reaching his pitch count and hitting his spots. A series of early exits by starters in the early-going of 2011 could be taxing on the bullpen. And we may not be able to expect the same resilience as we saw in 2010, in which the first starter win was delayed until April 22.
Young starting pitchers can be slow starters. They can be erratic - and sometimes easily rattled. This staff has all the potential it had at the end of last season. It's going to be frustrating, but fun, seeing them put it together.
UPDATE: Rolen and Hernandez were both scratched with elbow issues. Hernandez was been battling a sore one in his throwing arm and Rolen was hit by a pitch yesterday. The replacement of Rolen by Valaika - and announcement that Francisco will be tried in the OF again this season - raises the possibility that C-Val, not Fraizer or Francisco, could be the most immediate successor during any of the almost-inevitable Rolen DL trips this year.

Isn't there some rule against site mods declaring "first"?
Because there should be.
The season doesn't start until the Cincinnati Reds take the field! Reclaim The Opener!!
If I were a regular mod, sure
But I ask you this – If you had to bet $1000 of your money on the last time I looked at the scheduled stories section, what would you say?

Votto 3rd, Bruce cleanup...
it sucks that Rolen’s hurt, but damn it’s nice to see them 3-4 in the lineup.
If I was Fred Lewis or Hermida, I’d be shaking in my Red boots seeing END play LF. That’s their spot’s ass on the line.

Dusty is up to his old tricks
Renteria looks like he will play a lot. Why does Dusty hate Janish? and, where’s the rule that says the left fielder has to hit with power; I want Sappelt in there.
"At the very end, somebody took a dump right where I stood in the dugout every day." Dusty Baker
This lineup is logical, strangely
which doesn’t imply that it’s any good, just logical.
Is Valaika nearly identical (or similar) in hitting value to Janish?
Announcer: "Just out of the reach of Berkman"
Not really
Valaikas hit tool is way better, although he never walks. So OBP should’ve similar.
Valaika also has more power. Question is, how much?

Then batting him 8th ...
Does Valaika bat second if Janish is in there?
Janish should bat second in that case.

I like the idea of keeping END as the LH bat off the bench/backup 3Bman/5th OF.
Since Heisey can play all 3 OF spots, END would be mostly a power bat late in the game who starts occasionally against nasty righties in LF and starts 50 games at 3B.
He’s cheaper than Hermida or Lewis, but there’s a lot of fuzzy/sunk cost math in that idea.

If doing this meant
END gets most of Cairo’s 3B starts and some of Gomes’ LF starts against righties, then I’m all for it.

by nycredsfan on Mar 25, 2011 3:10 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
I think this might mean what we think it means. :)
If they weren’t considering this, then there would be little reason to start END in LF now, as opposed to when he begins the AAA season.
I’m rooting hard for this. I have no love for Lewis nor Hermida.

Why do I think the END experiment might be fun but all in vain?
The man strikes out too much.
Announcer: "Just out of the reach of Berkman"
I have a decent amount of love for both.
But clearly the Reds don’t, and they have a LOT of love for END.
At this point, anything that keeps Cairo and, to lesser extent, Gomes, off the field, is OK by me.

Looks like you won’t be seeing Homer after all. They just announced on the radio that he’s opening the season on the DL with an “impingement” in his shoulder, and that Lecure will open the season in the rotation, but they don’t know who will pitch Game 2.
How much wood could Chakkuchakkuchakku if you can throw a tree?
Have they said that Arroyo will be DL'd?
I thought they were hoping that he’d be feeling better by that point.
How much wood could Chakkuchakkuchakku if you can throw a tree?
he's got flu like symptons for 10 straight days
& they’re testing him for some weird disease.
i’d say it’s better to assume the DL than a miracle recovery.
He said he's fine, and OK to pitch
It’s just that valley fever can get worse if untreated, so they want to check for it.
I think he’ll be OK.
"Penus, stale beer, and day old hot dogs. Love it"--justin007000
he had already been pushed back
& he hasn’t been pitching.
i’m not counting on him being there early in the season
So if Arroyo's out
We have Volquez, Wood, Leake, Lecure, Maloney?
I’d still take that rotation over the Pirates’.
How much wood could Chakkuchakkuchakku if you can throw a tree?
He just pitched 87 pitches yesterday.
the only reason for the tests is that if it is Valley Fever they need to change the treatments.

I wonder if any of these ground balls
would have turned into outs if the right side of our infield was Janish/Rolen today, and not Renteria/Valaika.
How much wood could Chakkuchakkuchakku if you can throw a tree?
I was thinking that too
I also wonder if the ground rule double would have been caught by a decent LFer. Usually ground rule doubles are more flyball-ish than linedrive-ish.
"Penus, stale beer, and day old hot dogs. Love it"--justin007000
That's possible
Marty definitely said it was a really high fly ball. He also made it sound like it was right over by the line though, so maybe even an average leftfielder wouldn’t have gotten there.

I say yes
That grounder Valaika missed hit him right in the glove. Rolen would have gotten it.

Also, maybe Volquez needs to go back to his 2008 hair length?

I'm planning to do a journal article that proves Jay Bruce haters are a natural offshoot of Mick Cronin haters.
and why it’s maddening to listen to half the sports fans in this city.
If I were Marvin Lewis or Mick Cronin I'd walk away from Cincinnati and never look back
Different reasons for each, but still.
"I'm telling you, my other poo story is much better." -- btcoop71
but mick knew what he was getting into
and honestly it wouldn’t be different in any other city with the same situation. If Pitt fires Jamie Dixon or Duke fires Coach K for reasons other than basketball the new coach will have a difficult time winning over fans.
Mick inherrited a train wreck, and I probably became critical a year too early, but if U.C. puts up a few more years similar to this year, or even better if they step up and actually compete for the Big East title next year people will root for him.
I have been critical of Mick but I want him to succeed, I like home grown coaches, anybody can do what Louisville did and pay a lot of money for a known big time coach. I would like to see Mick put on a run similar to Bob Huggins, I really would. And he has a harder and yet easier time than Huggins did, when Huggins took over U.C. I am assuming there was less pressure and attention because U.C. had been bad for a long time. He could have failed, been fired and would be remembered about as well as Tony Yates. I doubt there were a great deal of exceptions from the city for Huggins.
But when he got to Cincinnati the team was in shambles, it hadn’t been to the NCAA tournament since 1977 and was in a weak Midwestern Conference, so recruiting for the inexperienced coach couldn’t have been easy.
Cronin got to Cincinnati, and the program was in scrambles, but it was in one of the best basketball conferences, and was a year removed from a string of 14 straight NCAA appearances and 17 straight post-season appearances. It was a school that appeared to take basketball seriously, so recruiting was probably much easier for Cronin in 2006 than it was for Huggins in 1989. But because U.C. had a run of 14 straight NCAA tournaments (even though they did under-perform inside the tournament) Cronin had much greater expectations and was expected by the community to turn the program around immediately, and was disliked simply because he was not Bob Huggins.
Loyola just fired their coach, I don’t even know what his name is (and I suspect a large portion of the student body doesn’t know either) and will replace him with another relatively unknown coach. If new coach rebuilds the team he will be a well known hero (until he leaves us for a better program), if the program still sucks he will be forgotten fired in a few years, nobody will really care or remember him, and the only thing Loyola basketball will be known for is our title in the early 60s.

Though they may wonder why it's not willn't.
I’ll give him that.

Actually willn’t is not unknown historically as a contracted form of will not, though it has never been common; Charlotte Brontë used it in Shirley in 1849 in order to represent local Yorkshire speech: "That willn’t wash, Miss". It turns up also in Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell: "No, indeed I willn’t tell, come what may".
So why the o in the contraction when it should be i? The answer lies in the irregularity of the verb will: it varied a great deal in different places and at different times. Though the present tense was often wil or wille, there was a period when it appeared as wol or wolle; this was especially common in the Midlands of England in the late medieval period, and may have been an unconscious imitation of the simple past tense, which was spelled and said with an o as standard. For some reason, though the present tense eventually standardised on will, the contraction of the negative settled down to be won’t, using the vowel from the other form.

If you have two airplanes connected by a comma and one of them crashes ...
do you need a comma splice?

the locals here
are going crazy over ousting Duke.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Outside of Durham, I think that feeling is pretty universal.
Announcer: "Just out of the reach of Berkman"
As much (deserved) shit as duke gets
Ive had far less pleasant experiences with unc fans.
Let's not kid ourselves. It's really, really, bad.

I don't think the locals hate Duke
so much as they love Arizona. Seeing as I’m in Arizona at the moment.

You are hard-pressed to find Duke fans
The only people who cheer for them are Duke alumni.
If somebody is rooting for Duke, it is more they are rooting against somebody else.
Or have some money on them.
Announcer: "Just out of the reach of Berkman"
I know plenty of Duke fans.
Most of them are frat boy dumbasses who would never be able to get into Duke.

At least Butler went farther this year
Gotta be lovin’ that
