Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Miguel Cairo - Game winning hits win JNMHSoG, always. Honorable mention to Dontrelle Willis, who went seven solid (if shaky at times) innings and 3-3 at the dish.
Key Plays
- Both starters worked out of jams in the 1st, stranding runners at second and third to end the inning.
- In the top of the second David Espinosa doubled before Fan Favorite Jonny Gomes(FFJG) grounded out. Then BP did what BP does, making a ridiculous play to rob Wilson Ramos of a hit and save a run. Dontrelle walked Wang to put men on first and third but got Ian Desmond to ground out and escaped without harm.
- In the Reds' half of the third, Todd Frazier hit a ball that burped loudly after eating Ian Desmond alive. After Paul Janish flied out weakly to LF I made the comment to snohio it sounds like PJ is swinging a wiffle ball bat up there. Dontrelle followed WeakWrists McGee by smacking a ball through the right side(you should have heard the crack of the bat!), moving Frazier to third. BP followed with a single to score Frazier and the Reds had their first lead at 1-0.
- This is where the Reds started making life easy for Wang. Wang had thrown 20 pitches in the first inning but only throw 72 over the next five. It was maddening.
- Dontrelle got into trouble again in the 4th, walking Espinosa and giving up a single to FFJG. Then Wilson Ramos blasted one into right field and the bad guys led 3-1.
- Wang gave a run back in the 6th when BP plated Paul Janish after Janish had walked (more on this in the notes) and Dontrelle had moved him over with his third hit of the night. Janish would have been out at the plate but thankfully FFJG was the one making the throw. Mark Berry should have been fired on the spot for sending Janish.
- Dusty sent Dontrelle back out to pitch the 7th even though he was at 101 pitches and the top of the Nats lineup would follow what was sure to be a pinch hitter. I may or may not have taught the youngsters in front of me some new "colorful" words when this happened. Dontrelle labored a bit, put two more guys on, but made it out alive by getting Ryan Zimmerman to ground out and striking out Mike Morse. You win this round, Baker.
- This is where things get weird. A couple of banks of lights went out and the game was delayed for 17 minutes. This obviously helped the Reds, who rallied to tie the game on an RBI single by Todd Frazier in their half of the 7th.
- After blowing a golden chance in the 8th, Drew Stubbs and Todd Frazier singled in the 9th to bring Miguel Cairo to the plate. Miggy smacked a game winning single to the wall in left center and the Queen City could sleep safe tonight, for our Redlegs were victorious.
Other Notes
- Dontrelle Willis is now batting .450 on the year.
- Dontrelle also walked what I'm going to go ahead and assume is a season high 5 batters. He also threw 123 pitches in this game.
- Brandon Phillips is hitting .436 since moving into the leadoff spot on August 17th.
- Jonny Gomes got a loud reception when he came to bat. Like, as loud as the one for Joey Votto earlier in the game.
- As BubbaFan points out below, Janish walked in a nice 10 pitch AB. The best part of this AB was when it was a 1-2 count Wang threw what he obviously thought was strike three, starting to head toward the dugout. It was called a ball and I said, "You watch, Janish will walk here if at all possible. That ump can't be happy". One questionable check swing call (thanks Joe West!) and another questionable pitch call later, Janish stood at first. The lesson as always - do not show up the ump.
- If my calculations are correct Edgar Renteria's single in the 8th inning put him over the hump. He has an .811 OPS in 69 PA and if he goes 0 for his next 6 PA, he will have a .744 OPS over those 75 PA. Suck it 'creds, you've got a new favorite player!

Janish didn't single
He walked. Really nice 10-pitch at-bat.
I was kind of surprised they sent him home, but then, Berry surely knew who was in left field. It was a great slide by Janish, going behind the plate and under the tag. He was safe by a mile.
Miggy definitely deserved JNMHSoG, but Frazier shoulda gotten a HM. He was clutch!
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Yeah I was gonna say
maybe Mark Berry should be promoted for having such an alert awareness of the fielders he was having the Reds run on…
expectations are premeditated resentments - cheshirecat
Added, with a story. :)
You’d think I would remember that considering the story. And you’re right, it was a very nice slide to get under Ramos’ glove. When Janish rounded third I actually yelled out, “What the fuck? Nooooooooo!!!”
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
Janish is not the fleetest of foot
Quick check, janish .520 ops ytd. Edgard .654
"the only place they lost was the scoreboard"
Yeah for the good guyz.
and yeah fur D.W. hitting. Make that joker a pinch hitter in a pinch.
Rollin' in the left lane.
Stubbsie
deserves some props. A dreadful 3K game going into the 9th, but he comes up with the rally starting hit pulling a ball into the 56.
He looked really notgood in one of his AB, I can't remember which
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
HM for scoring the winning run ...
… is almost as useful as getting a W for facing one batter in a tie game.
Bloggers don't play nothing. They just it back and hold court and criticize.
Frazier at SS
One reasonably nice play; is he in the mix for 6 next year? That assuming Cozart isn’t really a .300 hitter.
Yeah, Frazier actually looked quite servicebale at SS last night
I was impressed. He didn’t look any worse than Renteria out there (and I don’t consider that an underhanded compliment). Seeing Frazier at SS opened up a world of possibilities for me! But I can’t imagine that Walt and Dusty are open-minded enough to consider Frazier getting any kind of regular playing time at SS.
However, if he played about 40% of the games at 3B next year, and could manage 10% or so of games at SS, plus random time at 2B and LF, he would be the greatest utility guy in baseball. He has a bat that would be in the top half of MLB in the MI. I’m just dreaming though. Dusty doesn’t even think he’s as good as Cairo or even END.
expectations are premeditated resentments - cheshirecat
Yeah, under no circumstances should he be considered for the everyday SS job, but
knowing that he can do it opens up a world of possibilities, most notably, not needing Janish on the roster.
I was concerned they wouldn’t find a spot for Frazier next year, because of Miggy. But if Frazier can be the other UT infielder, and start a few games a week at 3B, SS, and LF, that’d be great. Then he could hopefully take over for Rolen in 2013.

I added another "Other Notes" just for you buddy :)
You guys okay, all ready for the storm? Did you find somewhere to put your go kart?
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
hah
Imagine if they bring Renteria back next year…and Dusty starts him over Cozart.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I don't think Walt is going to be into Dustyplay next year
So whatever your guesses are after that, the sky is the limit.
Except when the roof is closed.

I think you still need Janish
Frazier made a couple of plays but looks mechanical and slow out there. I’m also not comfortable having just one real SS on the roster.
Also, very nice PA by Sappelt to work a walk. I don’t expect power but contact plus patience would be just fine. He did make a brainfart on the basepaths, though, which probably cost us a run in the 8th.
by ken on Aug 27, 2011 9:54 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
I'm not sure Janish will be on the roster next year
But I think there will be two real shortstops. I’m thinking Walt could go get a veteran – in case Cozart crashes and burns – and stash Janish in Louisville in case of emergency. (I think he has an option left.) I kind of doubt Walt would be comfortable with just Cozart (11 games in the big leagues) and Janish (pinch hit for in the 7th inning last night).
Frazier did all right last night, but I think a real SS would have at least had a chance to turn a DP in the 8th. Didn’t matter in the end, but I don’t think Dusty or Walt would be comfortable with Frazier as the backup SS.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I think Walt will go with Coz/Jan
My feeling is that the org believes in Cozart and is comfortable with a veteran glove-man like Janish as the backup. I also don’t think the team will be able to find a significant upgrade on the market this winter. We’ll see.
This is going to probably sound callous, but I'm already just about Irene'd out
It’s a category 1 hurricane, not end times.
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow

but all hubbub is not because the storm is so big, but because there are so many people in its path.

Yeah, that. Also, it's not the wind but the rain.

Hurricanes are no fun

"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
First of all, this isn't the batting title
You can’t just add an 0-fer until he qualifies. Until he gets to 75 PAs, I am under no obligations.
Still, I can’t have you besmirching Edgard’s good name. Dude’s a gamer!

heheh, I was wondering if you'd hold out hope that he gets hurt and doesn't get the needed PA
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
No way
Dumperia is human butt wipe. I could play a more adequate major-league shortstop than he does, and I’m left-handed, slightly overweight, and haven’t played organized baseball in nearly 15 years.

I was talking with one my best friends who's in Manhattan this morning
I didn’t realize how much of NYC is actually below sea level. It’s not as bad as NO obviously but flooding could be a huge issue.
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
And the problem, besides density
Is that there are only so many ways to get out. Being on an island surrounded by ocean on 2 sides kind of limits one’s options.

One-third of the U.S. population lives on the East Coast
And much of that in Irene’s path. Plus the disproportionate number of major businesses and institutions headquartered in that path. So beyond the geographic reality of low-lying areas, the potential economic impact (amidst a recession) could be tremendous even if the problems are just rain and high winds, not an actual hurricane. Nate Silver said the costs of a hurricane hitting NYC alone could be $100 billion. It’s not a bad thing that people are taking this seriously, hopefully it will turn out that everyone overreacted.

even though they have underperformed this year
this team is very likeable and it is still a near .500 team which is better than many of the Reds teams over the past 10 year. maybe people think they have a good chance of seeing a win when they attend? I really don’t know what is sustaining the attendance right now but I’m ghlad too

yeah
Sappelt has been better at the plate lately, but that was boneheaded baserunning.
I’ve heard baserunning is the toughest part of the game to keep sharp on. Unlike hitting or fielding, you can’t really practice it. Except in actual games. The Louisville Bats in general don’t seem to be good baserunners. Dunno if it’s not a priority or what, but I’ve seen a lot of baserunning blunders in the Bats games I’ve attended.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
i hope you guys can answer me an observation i noticed last night ...
janish slides into home plate and the catcher applies the tag a bit to late with his glove … however, the ball was in his other hand. had the tag been applied in time, would he have been out even though the ball was not in the glove (i.e. the ball was not involved in the tag)?
Individuality: Always remember that you are unique. Just like everybody else.
The ball has to be in the glove
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
err, the ball must "touch" the runner
"Wait, you think I'm being mean to the pretend orangutan?" -- battlekow
Funny, I noticed that too...
jch is right about the ball needing to touch the runner or needing to be in the glove touching the runner. Still, I can’t really ever remember seeing a MLB player attempting to apply a tag with the ball in his bare hand. I never played catcher, and even still, plowing over the catcher is frowned upon until you get pretty far into serious baseball. I wonder if there’s something different that they teach catchers about holding the ball in the bare hand in preparation for a collision. Anyone know?

Anyone want 2 free tickets to the Dayton Dragons game tonight?
Short notice, I know. I have five tickets, but my daughter is ill, so she is staying home with mom, leaving me with 2 extras. I’m leaving the house in an hour or so, so this is a limited time offer.
Molecular gastronomy can take a hike as far as I'm concerned.

Really?
We couldn’t get Cueto for any of those games?

Worley is due for some regression
The other three. . . yeah
There was something in the air that night, the stars were bright, Arredondo. They were shining there for you and me, for liberty, Arredondo.
FOX is supposed to be showing a game (Tigers/Twins), but I'm just getting stupid weather reports
Guess what? I know it’s supposed to rain.
It's all rain coverage here too
I found the Tigers/Twins game on the local UPN channel

Anyone know anything about older uni's ?
I found this last winter on ebay, but its too DAMN small. I just know nothing about it either
By too small, how much too small?
It could be a bat-boy’s uniform.
Bloggers don't play nothing. They just it back and hold court and criticize.
It fits really weird.
By pit to pit measurement it should fit me, but it definitely fits like a small.
Im 5’11" 185
yeah if you have any interest.
I think its awesome but it doesnt fit. If you’re interested in any measuements let me know
I'm interested.
How much would you want for it? I’m 5’9" 160…Sounds like it might fit my girlish frame.
Let a man come in and do the Popcorn.
haha hey im thankful someone may be able to use it.
Would 35 be cool? Im in Dayton
Totally.
I’m in Covington…Although, I may be going to the Dragons game tomorrow. Email me at bryanmatthewharris (at) yahoo (dot) com and we can hash out the details.

shirts tend to fit looser now
People like them baggy. In the old days, the fit was very form-fitting and tailored. Sleeves were higher cut, and the shape was more tapered, so “vintage” clothes often feel uncomfortably tight to people used to today’s looser fit.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Well tapereds probably how id describe it
I usually wear generally fitted clothes but i just went off the pit to pit measurement and yeah definite no go. But it was worth the chance. I thought it was a pretty cool piece
