Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Johnny Cueto - 6 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K. He lowered his ERA to 1.98 on the year, which would lead the NL if he had 2.1 more innings pitched. Bad. Ass.
Key Plays
- In the first inning Chris Heisey ended up at second base after an error by SS Terrence Trent D'Arby and after being sacrificed to third by Edgard, scored on a sacrifice fly by Votto. People filled the streets of Cincinnati rejoicing the Reds' first run since Sunday afternoon and all was well in Porkopolis.
- In the second inning Jay Bruce walked, stole second, moved to third on Jonny Gomes' single and scored on a sac fly by Miguel Cairo. Reds up 2-0. Two innings, two runs scored on sacrifice flies. At this point we'll take what we can get, no?
- After hitting Niel Walker with a pitch leading off the 4th inning Johnny Cueto gave up a double off the wall in right-center field and the the Pirates were right back in it, down 2-1.
- The good guys got that run back in the top of the 5th after yet another error by D'arcy Wretzky put Cueto on first. Heisey moved Cueto up with a single and Johnny scored on an RBI single by everyone's favorite veteran SS, Edgar Renteria.
- Logan Ondrusek worked out of a first and second one out jam in the 7th, Chapman looked good in the 8th, and CoCo did what CoCo do in the 9th. Reds win and avoid the sweep. Three Musketeer bars for all!

Oh, you actually read the caption
Never mind.

So, could Cueto still win the ERA title if he doesn't have enough innings to qualify?
The way they do with the batting title?
If he keeps pitching like this, he'll easily have enough innings to qualify
I’m pretty sure the rule is IP for every team game (so 162 by the end of the year).
Assuming good health and even moderate effectiveness, he’ll be there by the end of the year. I realize this doesn’t answer your question.
It feels so nice to be back to normal
Yep, I had to look it up
Cueto’s pitched 95.2 innings after today and the Reds have played 98 games.
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
to answer the question, though
No, because the relationship of runs to innings is not assumable as it is for hits and at-bats. Pitchers can have an undefined ERA (what I call the infinite sadness) by giving up runs without getting outs, while batters cannot get hits without at-bats. You can assume an 0-fer to get them the at-bats to qualify, but you can’t assume a run per inning or whatever to get a pitcher those qualifying innings.

Say it, sister!
I’ve been saying that and it’s fallen on deaf ears (at least for Leake and Wood and Bailey^, Cueto hasn’t needed any defense).
Bailey being more of the "drop the three run homer^ and he’s looked great" argument

That is the inflection, yes
For all the kids brought up listening to Marty and tHom, and thinking that strikeouts are the ultimate measure of a player and that productive outs are a good thing. The ones who waged a personal vendetta against Adam Dunn, and have moved that on to Stubbs, Bruce, and any Dominican. The ones who still want Ryan Freel back, even though he probably fixed their roof that morning.
It’s about time we had a term for these people.

Thanks.
That schitck is tired. I missed the entirety of today’s game, save checking MLB.com on my phone…what the hell were they bitching about today? 2-2 with 2 BB’s, no?
I think it was about missing a cut-off man
and being a “selfish” player and shit like that. It really is a shame. He seems like such a nice kid.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Jul 20, 2011 5:40 PM EDT up reply actions
What burns me
is that they were berating him the other night when he “missed” the cut-off man on that play at 3B that almost nailed Trent D’Arby. The throw was a majestic exhibition, a throw only a handful of people on the planet could make. But D’Amore beat it by a hair, so instead of applauding an amazing throw that would have made a key out, they berate him for letting the trailing runner get to 2nd.
Fuck them.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Jul 20, 2011 5:45 PM EDT up reply actions
Agreed.
Hard to believe that these clowns aren’t excited to have a guy like this for the next 6+ seasons. Instead, he’s getting the Dunn-treatment.
Fuck ’em, indeed.
Yeah
today he “missed” the cut off man which stopped the pitcher from scoring on a two out hit to RF. Saved a run.
I'm not defending it
But if that throw gets cut the trail runner doesn’t end up at second and is the front end of a DP on the next batted ball, thereby not scoring. I take my chances at throwing out the runner at third but I see the other side.
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
Oh yeah, I can see that. I'm not arguing that.
But totally disregarding the quality of the throw is what kills me. It shows that they already have a very colored opinion of the guy. Like Dunn, the good things he does will be marginalized in their minds and the bad things embellished.

I think the posters in last night's thread did actually apologize for overreacting.
They’re frustrated fans, which is no surprise. The broadcast team, on the other hand, I would hope would show a little more restraint.

Somebody else actually suggested shipping Bruce out
The person you’re referring to simply said Bruce is overrated, which is always a difficult argument to have because you have to determine where the person is “rated.”
Mostly, I think it was a bunch of heat of the moment comments.
Yeah, yesterday was a pretty frustrating game for Reds fans.

I think this may be the start of our Cruise.
It is about exhibitionism. You know, I want to look at the flower and appreciate the beauty of a flower, for instance. Somebody else might say, "You can look at the flower and become the flower. Isn’t that even better?" But then I further would love it on the Cruise, if I could look at the flower, appreciate the beauty of the flower, and then have the flower appreciate the beauty of me.
That’s how I feel about Cruising right now. I mean, yes, becoming the flower would be a lot of fun. I mean, I can do that, too. I can do that on Wednesday afternoon. I think I’m free Thursday afternoon. I can try to become the flower. But come the weekend, goddammit, I will appreciate the beauty of the flower, and then likewise I will stand, exhibitionistic, having the flower appreciate the beauty of me. And I think having an intimate, quote unquote "love affair" with a flower is far more psychotic and riveting than having a love affair, quote unquote, with some of the banal creatures of the human race. Although I’d be into that, too.

Why does MLB.TradeRumours
list the Reds as looking for a reliever?
And how come Bray and Ondrusek don’t get more shout outs here? They’ve been outstanding; does any team have a lefty-righty relief combo of set up men with anywhere near their superb numbers?
someone to eat innings due to the fact that the Reds bullpen has thrown
more innings than any other NL team, save for the Cubs.

I think a Coco replacement is a good guess
Or an Ondrusek replacement, if Ondrusek becomes the closer?
Also, they may want a starting pitcher, but know it’s not likely they’ll get one. Teams in that situation usually try to upgrade the pen instead.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I think it's more likely that it's Coco insurance instead of a Coco replacement
And ideally, someone cost-controlled so that they can take over next year after Coco leaves.

Whether he admits it or not, I think Walt is positioning for next year rather than trying to make a move that will help this year.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
sounds like
the Reds haven’t given up.
“You’re not thinking about running out of time,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "You’ve got almost nine weeks left. That’s a lot of baseball. A lot of things can happen in that period of time. Get on a roll or two, avoid bad streaks.
“We know we’ve got work to do and we have the personality for it.”
…“At some point we’re going to end up playing well and winning a bunch of games,” Votto said. “It’s just kind of how it’s been this year. It’ll click at some point.”
(Actually, according the Fayplacement, what Dusty actually said was “we have the personnel to do it” – which makes more sense.)
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I want to say I heard someone say the Giants were six games back in August of last year
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
and the Padres were a lot more substantial than the Pirates are
I’m mostly worried about the Brewers at this point.
"You said 'walks' twice."

And the Rockies have been far back before and come back as well.
It feels so nice to be back to normal
The Giants and Phils last year overcame greater deficits than 5 games
The Rox in 2007 come to mind as well. Not if it is harder to jump three teams than one or two.
Let a man come in and do the Popcorn.
they were
(MLB.com’s standings page lets you see what the standings were on any date.)
It’s not the number of games back that’s so daunting. It’s that there are three teams to jump. The Giants may have been six games back, but they were solidly in second place.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Agreed, but it's only July 20.
If they are still 4 games back and in 4th place in 3 weeks, that’s probably going to be too much.

I don’t really think Arroyo has regressed much at all. He’s still more or less the same pitcher he always has been…which just isn’t that great.
His BABIP against last year was .241, and this year it’s .296. That kind of tells me that last year was a lot of luck, and this year not so much…much like the rest of our Redlegs.

from that
Cincinnati Magazine article:
This year, the Reds committed a whopping $151 million to new contracts for Joey Votto, Johnny Cueto, Jay Bruce, and Bronson Arroyo. Add in Aroldis Chapman’s $30 million deal from last year, and you’ve got five core players. Now watch how their five salaries will grow: from $28.9 million this year, to $38.7 million in 2012, to $50.2 million in 2013. Those players form a fine core, but nowhere near a full roster. According to USA Today, the Reds’ 2011 payroll stands at $75.9 million—the highest in franchise history. So, if the Reds keep their payroll firm through 2013, it means they’ll have only $25 million to pay their other 20 players. And that doesn’t include extensions for Brandon Phillips or Scott Rolen, arbitration for Homer Bailey or Drew Stubbs, or injuries for anyone at all.

Depends
Pence will be about 1,000x times more expensive to get than Gomes. If a team just wants a guy who can crush lefties, sometimes from the starting lineup, then they may not want to overpay for Pence.
Regardless, I don’t think Jonny is going anywhere, but it’s not because of Pence.

Maloney at bat.
Gwinnett announcers are pretty funny. A couple of days ago they were dissing Janish. Now they’re all, “This guy is incredible, what a firecracker” – because he was 4 for 5 yesterday.
…And Maloney flies out, but a runner scored on a wild pitch during his at-bat. Bats lead, 4-0.

Gwinnett making a last-inning stand
Daryl Thompson is pitching his fifth inning (he’s gone longer than Maloney now) and is clearly tiring. It’s 9-6. Thompson pitched well (and wasn’t too bad at the plate, either) but he’s been in too long.
And Yonder Alonso kinda screwed up. I think if he’d run hard from the beginning, he’d have caught it, but he didn’t, and Jeff Fiorentino got a double.

Way to steal from a pro wrestling angle.
he mostly quoted the CM Punk promo from 3 weeks ago.
the link underneath
is amazing.
Earlier this month, former MLB manager Tim Johnson and LCF players quit over not being payed by deadbeat managing partner Rich Ehrenreich. Acting manager Pete LaCock (bwahaha) then produced one of the most ridiculous baseball games known to mankind against Jose Canseco’s Yuma Scorpions earlier this month. I’ll let Matt Lindner (who also sent in the clip) of Bloguin’s great baseball blog The Outside Corner explain…
What unfolded after was one of the most bizarre baseball games on any level. Acting Fielders manager Pete LaCock put out a sort of opposite day lineup, with pitchers playing in the field and position players pitching. Canseco responded in kind, wanting to level the playing field and leaving his team with a battery consisting of himself on the hill and former Rays outfield prospect Joey Gathright playing catcher for the first time in his life. LaCock’s debut as Fielders manager would prove to be his swan song as well, as he wound up quitting himself following the game due to the payroll dispute.

I was serious about the keg in the coffin.
I’m also making a rule that my inner family is NOT going to be forced to stand there for 3 hours next to my dead body during a “visitation” because… Here’s my thing..you stand in this line (at the visitation) forever because the line never moves because everyone can’t decide what is the proper time to stand by the coffin with the dead body in it while talking to the survivors…
Meanwhile, the survivors have to stand there next to the dead body for 3 hours and hear hundreds of people say “Sorry for your loss” “how are you?” “is there anything we can do?” and really, that’s all you can say because no one wants to be the asshole who tries to make a joke right there. Everyone enjoys the line process sorta because you socialize but that 20 seconds before you get to the front and make that awkward exchange is one of the most impossible moments you can really endure in life.
I only spend about 10 seconds in that spot and I move on.
I’ve been in that situation and I can honestly say I couldn’t even remember who I talked to at the end of the day. Plus dead people creep me out.

He reportedly had a sense of humor about it. While on the stretcher being taken into the ambulance, he told his wife, “I guess my kicking career is over.” (He served as emergency punter in one game, and kicked a 1-yarder.)

Sid actually managed to make a brief comeback
That was simply improbable.

That sucks.
Not least because we need them to beat up on the Brewers.

that is why i am afraid of the Reds giving any player a contract longer than 4 years
Some players are never the same after fluke injuries like that.
Nothing succeeds like failure.

Billy Hamilton has 71 SB's??
What the heck is he on? At least it seems like he is finding his stroke. He is batting .297 this month. His average overall is only .242 but he will bring that up. And Torreyes is still ridiculous, he went 4-5 today. Batting Avg now .375 (42-112). Not bad for an 18 year old.
He's on speed, of course.
See what I did there?
Miggy Miggy Miggy, can't you see?
Sometimes your skills just hypnotize me.
And I just love your veteran ways,
You're unappreciated and under-paid.
He's small-balling the fucking hell out of the ball
Bunting more often, infield hits, and at the same time starting to find his stroke. He’s got 13 hits in his last 10 games, and they’re all singles.

Dbacks tied it up, but the Brewers scored 3 in the 10th and won
Brewers in first place.
Pirates half a game back.
Cards 2 games back.
Reds 4.5 games back.
