Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Ramon Hernandez gets this one by going 4 for 5, with his most important hit coming at the end. Honorable mention to Joey Votto, who went 1 for 2 with 2 walks, a HR, and a sac fly.
Key Plays
- The first inning wasn't so great for the Reds. The first two batters, Rickie Weeks and Carlos Gomez, homered off of Edinson Volquez. He then walked Ryan Braun and gave up a single to Prince Fielder and a sac fly by Casey McGehee to make it 3-0, Brewers.
- Drew Stubbs led off the bottom of the inning with a double and Brandon Phillips bunted him to third. He scored on a Joey Votto sac fly. Scott Rolen walked and Jay Bruce singled, but Jonny Gomes struck out to end the threat. Reds still down, 3-1.
- In the second, Wil Nieves led off with a double. After Yovani Gallardo struck out trying to bunt him to third, he scored on a Weeks double. Brewers lead, 4-1.
- The Reds threatened in the third. While BP and Rolen did nothing, Votto walked, Bruce singled, and Gomes walked to load the bases for Ramon Hernandez. He flied out to center.
- The Reds got one back in the fourth on a Stubbs solo HR. Still down, 4-2.
- Volquez let the Brewers get their lead back to three runs in the fifth, allowing a Braun solo HR.
- Jordan Smith came in for Volquez in the top of the 7th, and it was kind of a mess. He struck out Weeks and got Gomez to line out to third, but then he gave up a single to left by Braun. Gomes fielded it lazily so Braun just went to second. The Reds then had Smith walk Prince Fielder to put runners on first and second. They each advanced a base on a balk, and then McGehee singled to left to score another run.
- Kameron Loe struck out the side in the bottom of the seventh . . . except for a Votto solo HR. Brewers still up, 6-3.
- The Brewers brought in their closer, John Axford, for the ninth. BP responded by leading off with a single off of the CF wall. Votto then drew a walk, MVP-style. Rolen bounced one to third, and HOLY GOODNESS BP EVADED THE TAG AND ROLEN IS SAFE AT FIRST!
- With the bases loaded, Bruce struck out and Gomes hit one pretty hard to deep center but it was caught. Reds down 6-4 with two outs and Ramon Hernandez up...
- AND HE HIT IT OVER THE RIGHT FIELD WALL!
Pardon my shouting.

Needless to say, this didn't work and everybody died.
I have a feeling this game will be important come the 1st of October....
And that’ll certainly put doubts in the Brewers bullpen.
And to rerereiterate, there is no reason why Hernandez or Hannigan should be batting 7th.
Catchers clog the bases!

Even if Dusty won't bat him 2nd...
have him bat 4th, between Votto and Bruce.
Could he actually be slower than Rolen? Is that possible?
Eh I think batting him 4th would be a huge stretch.
It is either 2nd or 6th for me.
I would push Gomes to the 7th spot.

And also, on the Voltron front – I didn’t think he was gonna make it out of the second inning, especially after giving up 2 HRs in seven pitches.
Glad he worked it out.

Though it can't be overstated
that the Reds had absolutely no business winning this one.
And of course, if not for that fluke missed tag/late throw on the Rolen grounder, they never could have.
But they did have a ton of hits; they just couldn’t string them together well until the very end.
Still not a candidate.

To explain the general policy
you shouldn’t post pictures for which you don’t have the rights (though you’re welcome to link to them). In general, this isn’t a problem, but people with lots of money (like the AP) could actually get pissed about it.
Plus, we do actually have a contract with the AP to use their images in the recaps, though I believe they’re all time limited (i.e. there won’t be an image in the writeup a year from now).
Still not a candidate.

Announcer: "Just out of the reach of Berkman"
you really think it would be a problem with the AP images at Yahoo?
They could block hot-linking if they wanted to, very easily (as many sites do). They don’t, presumably because they want people linking their images.
And they are time-limited. They go away after a few weeks.

I'm just honestly curious about the policy
I know copyright is an issue, and as an admin on other sites, have gotten my share of DMCA “takedown” notices. But usually, hotlinking images isn’t a problem. It’s when you host the image that they get on you. For example, using an AP image as an avatar here is more likely to cause problems than hotlinking it in the comments (because the avatar images are hosted on the SB Nation servers).
And IME, it’s art that’s most likely to bring the wrath of the copyright police. Cartoons, illustrations, 3D renders, etc. more than news photos. (News stories are another issue. At one point, the wire services were going after sites that posted as few as 30 words from news articles.)

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
AP has gotten touchier about this in recent years
As the number of “news sites” has proliferated, many of them are just stealing content and making a profit from that. Once upon a time, AP would let you have a sip or a nip … but there is just too many people out there plunking things down and not paying for it.
As for copyright theft, a few lines here and there is OK with attribution. The max would be about 250 words and it’s better to paraphrase than just lift and paste.

That remnds me
Buzz Bissenger wrote a book about LaRussa and the Cards a few years ago. One of the stories in it was that Pujols had a shoulder injury and was advised by the team doctor not to play. LaRuussa knew this, and he still wanted Pujols to play left field and to flip the ball underhand to the shortstop whenever it was hit to him. I guess he was over ruled, but that might have been the stupidest thing a manager ever could do.

why?
What aspects are you worried about?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Last year each of our first 7 games was won in our last AB.
Didn’t seem to keep us from winning the division.
eh
It was basically one bad inning in one game.
I’m very pleased at how Volquez was able to overcome that rough start.
Lots of hits, just one error by the usual suspect. What’s not to like?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
My problem was I just saw the first 2 or so innings
So I didn’t get to fully appreciate his performance. If he got it under conytrol, then it’s definitely a good sign—and he did go 6 right?
he went six innings
throwing 91 pitches, 63 for strikes. Pretty amazing, considering that 30 pitch first inning.

I'm not that worried about him.
He had an abbreviated spring thanks to his visa issues. He had some good movement on his pitches and still made it through 6
Harang gave up 9 runs on opening day in 2006
just one start.
Plus the way he came back in the third was really impressive, I had visions of a 7 run 4.2 inning performance.
Considering how he started going 6 innings and giving up 5 runs is respectable.

Next 23 batters: 6 IP, 4 hits, 1 walk, 5 Ks, 2 runs (not counting the SF of one of the first 4 hitters), 1 HR.
I think the last 23 batters are a better TSS than the first 4.

They have options on the new mouses
Wheel and 2 clicks.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
so you've never seen somebody use a regular mouse with a Mac before?
because literally every designer i know does this. you can program a Mac to respond to right button clicks. it takes like 15 seconds.
i use a a mouse with my mac all the time with no problems at all
just plug it in. never had to program anything
yeah... i am not a mac or PC fanboy (i own both).
but the mouse thing is one of the weakest arguments i’ve ever heard.
i actually prefer the mac laptop trackpads to pc trackpads
but a mouse a mouse is better than both and since i can use one on both i give the edge to macs. but it is a pretty weak argument
What I don't get is the mac mouse
that does different things based on where you click it. Why the hell is that better than just having multiple buttons?
Still not a candidate.
they're pretty cool actually.
they still respond to the same triggers as a conventional mouse (left click, right click, scrolling) but they can also be programmed to respond to multi-touch gestures like the mac trackpad (two finger swipes, photo zoom/shrink, etc.). my friend has his programmed to put his mac into sleep mode by covering the entire mouse with his hand and clicking.
so basically it just offers more to the user experience. it’s not necessary by any means.
i haven't used a mac regularly for a while*
so I’ll acknowledge that I could be 3ish years out of date. But they were still one-button mouses back then, right? 12 years is still way too long.
Are the funk-o-riffic mouses standard issue with macs now?
*Note: I have no desire to start or participate in yet-another-mac-vs.-pc war. I own a pc. I love macs. I just want us all to get along.

Me too, apparently.
I noticed nothing wrong w/ that comment earlier.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
the only reason i know that it was coldplay...
is because at the first game i went to last season, i was sitting in front of some cubs fans. they did the “you know how i know you’re gay? because you listen to coldplay” deal on me and my buddy, also a cubs fan. those cubs fans were cool, and i thought we could’ve had a 4-way with them (the chick was smoking hot). they were impressed that i actually knew the reason they’re called the Reds today.
I missed almost the entirety of this game because of work and only was able to follow it briefly on Gameday.
Most my information came via text messages. I found out that Ramon hit the game-winning homer while freezing my ass off on a picnic table while filling out the line-up for a high school softball game. Not one minute before, Fred, another reporter in town and a cancer survivor who carries an oxygen tank with him told me, “No way the Reds win.”
Then I got that text. And I turned to him and said, “Suck a dick Fred.”
I did not feel bad about it. At all.
Jesus Christ I love this team

sounds to me that Fred had it coming to him
A lot of people think I'm an asshole...it's not that I'm an asshole, it's just that I don't like them.
I got chills reading your recap of the game.
Awesome job
Awesome game
LOVE THE REDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I missed the end of the game
Just discovered the Reds won. Fuck, I had a miserable day. Locked my keys in my car. Wife lost her job. Spent the afternoon and evening in bullshit meetings until after 9.
This makes it a little bit better.
Or even if I just like such as judged a fish contest that would get me outta the house and in some air.

Thanks
On the bright side, she saw the writing on the wall a few months ago and has been looking for work for a while. She’s had some interviews already. Still, the way her company went about it was really poor, and frankly, unethical. Let’s just say I will be buying exclusively Unilever from here on out.

Unilever?
What’s the company we should be avoiding?
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
Unilever makes soap and other household products......
……and I live in Cincinnati, so……..yeah, Procter and fucking Gamble.
I’m not big on airing these kind of things. Long story short, they needed to lay people off but weren’t interested in paying unemployment, so they engaged in a series of tactics designed to encourage employees to leave “voluntarily”, so she decided to get out. However, before she could complete her escape, they decided to let her go for what was, if we were interested in getting into a fight with them over it, a fraudulent reason. As an at-will employee, they could have simply let her go for no reason at all, rather than manufacturing one, but as I said, they are trying to avoid paying unemployment.
She is actually pretty close to landing another job already, so we are looking at it philosophically. I am fairly confident she will be employed before she collects her last paycheck, so it should be OK. But as far as I’m concerned, the cheap bastards can go fuck themselves with a rusty pogo stick.
We have friends who work there, and I don’t want to tar the entire organization over the actions of one division, but still. Fuck those assholes.

if i didn't think it could come back to me, i'd weigh in here.
but they make up about 75% of our business so i’d rather not. but none of what you say here surprises me.
corporate america is scary. they can find a way to do whatever they damn well please with their employees.
So someone explain to me why, exactly, we want to make teaching more like corporate America?

Completely understandable.
Corporate America basically sucks. Glad she’s close to getting a new job though, that’s great.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
I've seen my own company get swallowed up by the "big fish."
Nah … too much politics here … (see comment below if you want to weigh in on that) …
Anyway, I have 2 more days to work and then I get to be retired. I plan to write a fan-post for that in a few days.
All the same, Mrs. RoastBeef (I guess is what I call her) is hopefully on her way to a better career. We are all rooting for folks to be happy, not sad.

what are your thoughts on the union-busting laws passed by your state?
Reds fan for 40 years!
As someone who belongs to one of said unions (but is slightly anti-union)
My take is that if they want to break up unions, go for it, and good luck.
But the way they are doing it, cloaking it under the bullshit excuse of fiscal problems, is ridiculous. Most of these laws won’t save states any money. At least not long term. But the only way to sneak this stuff through without public outcry is to pretend that greedy teachers are the reason the economy sucks so bad and the only way to fix it is to allow districts to freeze their salaries for the next decade.
"Penus, stale beer, and day old hot dogs. Love it"--justin007000
I don't fully understand anti-union sentiments
I realize unions can be greedy, harm the company, and can even cause problems for some entry level employees, but employers can do the same.
Unions seem like the best option for a counter-balance, despite being flawed and troublesome.

Hey - I just heard about the new top-down directive for Marcellus projects in PA. (Can't issue fines for violations unless you get it by a political appointee)
Is that on the radar at all for average Pennsylvanians? What do you think?

Monie, Monie, Monie has done it again!
I was talking to my manager at work and I called that shit right before Ramon went deep…That made my day………….and then the LWB lost to the Padres. What a great Opening Day!!
A lot of people think I'm an asshole...it's not that I'm an asshole, it's just that I don't like them.
Man...
Take this win, a few other, a cup of soup… Baby, we got a stew going.

Red Reporter:
A blog that WILL kidnap and kill (and maybe rape) Jim Edmonds. Fuck him.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
But I guess the thing is
Nobody on this board has been murdered, not many people are kidnapped, but I am guessing there are some people one this board who are the victims of sexual abuse.
15-20% of women in the United States are raped, I am unable to find the stats on the total population. But I am sure any victim of sexual assault probably would not be terribly amused by this.

teh Fay
has an interview with CMM.
And a Fayplacement has collected some reactions to the opening day win.
Say what you will about teh Fay – at least he’s not reporting that Renteria is the starting SS and Janish is the backup, like the Columbus Dispatch is.

Glad to see the Dispatch is keeping up the good work.

My sons have the 2K11 baseball game for Playstation and Renteria is the starter.

so
The Columbus Dispatch gets their information from Playstation games?
I guess that’s cheaper than paying a reporter…
