Re: 8/28/09 Reds vs Dodgers
I like Gomes a lot and if he keeps producing like he has this year, then he deserves a chance to see if he can be part of this team next year. He's a good energy guy in the clubhouse too from what all I've heard about him.

His current line, up to date with about 218 PA's (well over 2/3rds of which are against RHP): .292 16-40 .369 / .585 / .954 I mean this guy just keeps going at it.

Re: 8/28/09 Reds vs Dodgers
Ouch. Stubbs watches three straight fastballs. That's exactly what Dusty was annoyed about.

But he is 28 years old. He has lots of power and the ability to take pitches and draw walks. That kind of player has been known to take his game to another level at this age. I tend to to think we're seeing that with him.

With this offense, it's hard to give up a talented hitter. Nice play Phillips. |

Re: 8/28/09 Reds vs Dodgers
Two out and one on in the seventh. Bailey with the lead is throwing strikes and keeping his pitch count reasonable.
Very impressive outing. Homer is a lock for the rotation next year. With Cueto, Volquez, and Leake eventually, maybe Wood, the Reds have some young starters to brag about. |

Re: 8/28/09 Reds vs Dodgers
Stubbs has got him some wheels, I'll give him that.

Re: 8/28/09 Reds vs Dodgers
Stubbs with a nice play to end the inning.
Bailey fell behind 3-0 then threw two pitches in the zone and got out of the inning with a good defensive centerfielder. Very encouraging game, this one. |

Good inning by Homer. I bring him out for the 8th.

Re: 8/28/09 Reds vs Dodgers
What do you people think Stubbs is looking for? I mean you get fooled once maybe on a fastball down the middle...after that? I mean there it is....coming at you, what is he looking for.

Seriously though, his OPS+ in that time period is over 115. So his numbers are still solid even then. Consider he's hitting at a park, where clearly he feels comfortable in, and add in his age, and I think it's not unreasonable to think this is not too much a fluke.

Re: 8/28/09 Reds vs Dodgers
Homer is pitching a shutout, he'll probably stay in the game, but I hope they don't push him too far.
