Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

Gamethread: Game 106 vs. the Dodgers

H_tiny by JD Arney on in News

TIME: 7:05 @ Great American Ball Park
                                       

DODGERS PROBABLE:       REDS PROBABLE:
Aaron Sele (6-4, 3.29)       Bronson Arroyo (9-7, 3.20)

Not sure if I'll be around later, so I'm getting this up a little early today.

The trade deadline yesterday combined with the off day makes it feel like it's been ages since the Reds have actually played a game. Weird how that works.

Let's hope Bronson can finally get that 10th win. Go Reds!

A 10 Game Win Streak Would Be Nice
This has to be the biggest homestand of the year.  Dodgers, Braves, and then the Cards for 4 if the Reds could win 7 of the next 10, I think we could start making plans for October.  Right now the Dodgers are minus Kent and Nomar, hopefully the Reds can put them out of their misery.

the three losses aren't all to the Cards

Germano got optioned down.
Then Watson got called up.

Cormier came in, and Watson got optioned back down.

a question re: blackouts
Daedalus-
Do you subscribe to extra innings or mlbtv.com?  Everytime they have a 6:00 game on Saturdays they black out the entire game on extra innings (at least I thought).

by Arman Tamzarian on Aug 1, 2006 7:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

Blackouts
Being that Fox has exclusive rights for the 1:00 national game (1:00-4:00 time slot) and the 4:00 national game (4:00-7:00 time slot) any game that starts before 7:00 is subject to blackout.

"Ripping the Deal"
Marty warns against "ripping the deal," because although Cormier was a "train wreck" when he came in, keep in mind that Freel should have caught the ball, and the DP should have been turned.

I think he is thinking of the wrong "deal."

Think McClayton at short, plus Freel in right instead of Kearns.

Short-term thinking
Tonight we begin to see the result of short-term thinking in baseball--i.e. consistently trading real talent for very specific needs.  The team becomes one-dimensional, built to win in only one way.  But then another problem arises and the team's not strong enough to overcome it.  The problem we now have is that all those innings Narron put on our starters are beginning to catch up.  It remains to be seen whether this bullpen is actually any better than the one we had earlier, but it's not going to matter because we don't have the starting pitching to carry us the rest of the way anyway.  And we've traded away a lot of value in order to get weaker.  The short-term policies of Krivsky, encouraged by so many on these boards, are beginning to bring disaster.

New management
Print the bumper stickers:  Fire Narron, Fire Krivsky, Free Edwin, Bring Back O'Brien.  I'm completely serious.  Somebody over on Redszone is asking what Krivsky can accomplish with a full offseason to work.  I hate to think about that.  This organization (maybe not the major league club but that's not the whole organization) made solid progress for two years, and Krivsky is well on the way to destroying it.  In a year we may well think the only good trade he made was for Phillips.

I wanted Joe Mays back (sorry for the profanity), but bringing back DanO would probably be sufficiently obscene to violate the standards of this site.

It's been a bad trade, and Narron has lost a couple games for poor managerial decisions, but it's not quite that bad yet.
