Do you go to games based on pitchers?
I ask this question because I thought of going on Friday, then saw Milton:scared: vs. Webb:help: and I didn't think we would have a chance of winning. Today we have Harang the Arroyo on Sunday. I'll attend Sunday most likely, and half the reason is because I feel we have a good chance of winning bc Arroyo has been great so far.
So does anyone else check out the matchups then decide if you are going not?
Re: Do you go to games based on pitchers?
Not really, I went last night because it was a good time to go and the Mrs rarely wants to go to games.
Even Milton can have a good game ;)
Re: Do you go to games based on pitchers?
Not really... Last night's game was part of the power pack ticket package. But other factors are weather and yes, promotions.

Living outside of Cincy, I just go to any Reds games I can get to.
Re: Do you go to games based on pitchers?
I go to see a ball game wherever I can and/or I feel like it. I just let the game unfold before me, however it will. A close, tight pitchering duel, or a roller coaster with lots of lead changes, or a comedy of errors, or a complete blow out (win or loss).
I go to the game to watch baseball, win or lose.
Re: Do you go to games based on pitchers?
I only go to games when I can get free tickets or on bobblehead nights when I buy bleacher seats. ;)

When the Reds were terrible in the early 80's my Dad and and I went only when Mario Soto was pitching. One year I think we saw him pitch around twelve times.:D

I used to live a couple of miles from the ballpark in Atlanta and we'd often go just because Maddux was pitching.

I agree, I go to see the game. I guess I'm saying, I'm lucky enough to go to as many games as I want right now, so situations like this weekend, I'm holding out til Arroyo, even though I would go tonight, I like day games.
Re: Do you go to games based on pitchers?
I've got the 20 game weekend package so I don't have much ability to choose which games based on the pitcher. As a youngster I'd just go with my father and was thrilled to go to the game and I was too young to consider who was pitching.
Now I've gotten to the point in life where I have the time and money to just head down to the game on a whim (in addition to my ticket package). I suppose I'd head down to see a particularlly good pitcher if he was in town. Clemmons and Maddux would be two I'd go see just to see them.
Re: Do you go to games based on pitchers?
Nope. But I would like to see Bronson pitch.

Re: Do you go to games based on pitchers?
Back when you could get tickets on gameday in Boston, I always checked out the pitching matchups.
Last year when the Reds were in town I made sure to catch the game Harang pitched ... unfortunately he had one of his worst starts of the year. Though a Sox fan bought chili and I beers after as consolation for the Reds getting swept.
Re: Do you go to games based on pitchers?
I do and dont. I try to get go to at least 1 game per series. My situation is though, I will try to go see the opposing teams pitcher if they have a top guy. Like last night I went as the Dbacks game because Webb was pitching.
Re: Do you go to games based on pitchers?
Just do what I do and drink alot before going to the game so the score does not matter. I had alot of practice this during the bengals 2-14 year. :drink:
