Welcome back Scotty!

I think Scotty could do well vs. Dickey

Re: 8/15/2012 Mets at Reds

It seems amazing to me how having Rolen back makes the lineup look so much better.


Of course once Votto gets back, it'll look down right MLB ready

Re: 8/15/2012 Mets at Reds

Reds need to keep it rolling. This week, they have a big scheduling advantage over Bucs and Cards. Reds playing under .500 teams at home. Starting next week, August 20, Reds have some tough series.

Re: 8/15/2012 Mets at Reds

Let's get this win. Dickey is tough, but a little patience goes a long way. Unfortunately, the Reds have little patience at the plate.

Re: 8/15/2012 Mets at Reds

Reds might have used XMan tonight. Dickey is tough on everybody but lefties do much better in the OBP area. Lefties also walk more against him. Power numbers against him are pretty close lefty/righty.

Against righties, Dickey has walked 11 guys in 335 PAs this year throwing a knuckleball. Unreal. WVReds fan, patience will be good, but if they stand up there waiting for walks, they will be sorely disappointed.

Overall Dickey's allowed 127 hits in 162 innings. Unless he has an off night, key may be a couple of long hits for the Reds and a great performance by Leake. Tough one tonight.

He's 5 for 9 against him (.556/.545/1.000) with one HR. Out of the four knuckleballers I could find during his career, he's batting .387 against them, including 1.000 against Jared Fernandez. Tim Wakefield seemed to know how to pitch to him (.222). I'm hoping he continues his dominance of Dickey.

Re: 8/15/2012 Mets at Reds

I'm amazed when I look in the line up and see 3 rookies going and it doesn't bother me.

Re: 8/15/2012 Mets at Reds

Leake with 6 up, 6 down start.

Reds get a double, sac bunt (hehe) and single from Phillips to take a 1-0 lead.
