5/15/07 Reds vs. Padres

[chisdad]

Deadlegs
Freel 3b
Phillips 2b
Griffey rf
Conine 1b
Dunn lf
Gonzalez ss
Hamilton cf
Moeller c
Harang p

per Trent

[reds44]

Should be:
Freel
Phillips
Griffey
Dunn
Gonzalez
Hamilton
Conine
Moeller

[pedro]

Should be:
Freel
Phillips
Griffey
Dunn
Gonzalez
Hamilton
Conine
Moeller

I'd swap conine & gonzalez.

[Ron Madden]

Jerry is a bit late drawing tonights lineup out of his hat.

[WMR]

MY GOD WILL WE EVER SEE THE END OF CONINE AS THE CLEAN-UP HITTER???

Good thing he's 54 and not 24 or he'd prolly be in AAA right now.

[Degenerate39]

I do not want to see Conine batting clean up.

[BoCcc2832]

Who else would you have batting clean up? Dunn? Hamilton? Me too, but they are also lefties and you all know what Narron thinks of batting lefties back-to-back. So for the available righties remaining, it's between Conine, Phillips, Moeller, or Gonzalez. Seeing how Moeller and Gonzalez can't hit, and Phillips is better served in the top of the order thanks to his speed and 17 game hitting streak, Conine is okay. You want a clean up hitter? Then tell Krivsky to get one, because we don't have one. At least Narron is trying to mix it up instead of letting the same miserable hitless lineup go out there every time. He's trying to win.

Reds cleanup hitters on the season are hitting .233/.331/.397, which is good for a .728 OPS. Meanwhile, Reds first sackers are hitting .257/.331/.399, and that's good for a .730 OPS.

Them boys sure are rakin'. ;)

[RedsMan3203]

yawn - least I don't have work tomorrow therefor I can stay up and watch a slacking....

[Degenerate39]

Harang is pitching so the Reds bats will be alive tonight

Haha thanks Cyclone. ;)

Would you have gone with Votto from ST on out and just let him take his lumps and get his big league progression underway?

I think I would have. Especially over the detritus we're wasting those ABs on.

[RedsMan3203]

Don't forget the ACM's are on tonight.

[Cyclone792]

Haha thanks Cyclone. ;)

Nah, I'd have had Votto start the year in AAA. I would like to see Votto get his isolated power up in AAA a bit too before calling him up. Perhaps a midseason callup, say late July or so, depending on how well he's performing down there, of course.

I'd be shocked if the Reds called him up before then anyway.

[Matt700wlw]

I guess I'll say it again....Conine actually has better numbers against righties this year, and Hatteberg against lefties...


Not sure what their numbers are against Wells

[KronoRed]

Narron rule number 7, break up those darn lefties.

[OnBaseMachine]

Amazing that Narron continues to hit Conine fourth. And why not give Josh Hamilton some protection and hit him second, or at least higher in the order. Same with Dunn - move him up!

[Tom Servo]

I boldly predict that Moeller will start hitting a bit in the games he catches and soon the cries will be for Moeller to be the starting catcher, ala Ross last year.

Just seems like something that could happen.

[Degenerate39]

I hope you're right

[Ron Madden]

Damn.

[Kc61]

The Reds' righty cleanup hitter? Isn't in the organization right now.

[TeamSelig]

Good thing we have Moeller up here as a 3rd catcher so that we can keep EdE in AAA

[RedsMan3203]

The Reds' righty cleanup hitter? Isn't in the organization right now.

Sure he is... he is in AAA.

[RedsMan3203]

Good thing we have Moeller up here as a 3rd catcher so that we can keep EdE in AAA

Moeller is our 2nd catcher.... Javy is our PH/emergency catcher... Nothing more, nothing less...

[Matt700wlw]

Moeller up tells me Javy is going to be used at a PH now....and not as a catcher, except for maybe in a very rare occasion.

I wonder if Moeller can help the bullpen pitch better?

[Matt700wlw]

From Fay

SAN DIEGO - Several Reds are taking early batting practice this afternoon at Petco Park. Those participating: Ryan Freel, David Ross, Norris Hopper, Chad Moeller and Javier Valentin.

Which left me wondering....

Through the first four games of this nine-game road trip, the Reds have been outscored 26-9 in the four losses and are batting .185 overall and .214 with runners in scoring position

[KronoRed]

Moeller up tells me Javy is going to be used at a PH now....and not as a catcher, except for maybe in a very rare occasion.

I wonder if Moeller can help the bullpen pitch better?

So we have a roster spot going to a guy with awful numbers as a PH just to PH and not play the field

Wise.

[RedsMan3203]

Wise.

Didn't he have good numbers last year as a PH?

[Heath]

Them boys sure are rakin'. ;)

They need to draw more walks. :rolleyes:

[KronoRed]

Didn't he have good numbers last year as a PH?

Not putrid at 231 .273 .462, but this year he is 2 for 10 and his 2004-2006 numbers were .193 .264 .337

Bleh

[Kc61]

Sure he is... he is in AAA.

I prefer guys with an OPS over .600 for cleanup. Maybe sixth.

[Degenerate39]

These 10 o'clock games are killing me I don't want to stay up all night to watch the Reds.

[jesusfan]

These 10 o'clock games are killing me I don't want to stay up all night to watch the Reds.

I kinda like it... makes me feel like a little kid again, well that was only about 10 years ago, but I remember staying up to watch the reds and sneaking in the living room, wondering... "Why in the world is it daylight where the Reds are playing and nighttime here... it absolutely baffled me...

[Will M]

Moeller is our 2nd catcher.... Javy is our PH/emergency catcher... Nothing more, nothing less...

agree

[RedsMan3203]

Is it ever going to stop raining in Chi-Town?

[Matt700wlw]

Is it ever going to stop raining in Chi-Town?

No. Never.

[Red in Chicago]

No. Never.

we need the rain

I need the fantasy baseball points from the Mussina start.... So lets get the show on the road.

Cincy does too...and it's coming. Big time.

[RedsMan3203]

what's more important...you're fantasy league or my tomato and strawberry plants ;)

Considering I don't like either one - I'm going to say I'll take the fantasy points.

[KronoRed]

Every stadium should have a retractable roof.

[reds44]

The Bulls are up by 21 at the end of 3 in Detroit.

Looks like there will be a game 6 in Chicago.

[LINEDRIVER]

One more quick slam on JerrNarr's manlove for Conine hitting 4th.

Conine is 1-for-15 in May, 5-for-his last 30, and has only managed 3 extra base hits in the last 5 weeks.

[RedsMan3203]

The game has been called :( Looks like I'll get them tomrorow night.

[jojo]

The Reds draw a big fat gooey tee tonight...this could be just the thing they need to get the mojo going again....

[VR]

[captainmorgan07]

freel with long ab then pops out to second

[REDREAD]

The Reds draw a big fat gooey tee tonight...this could be just the thing they need to get the mojo going again....


Not to mention that we've got our ace (Harang) going tonight, and we have our third catcher back. We're unstoppable tonight. :lol:

[Matt700wlw]

How does a guy of Wells...uh...stature, not hurt by now, at his age?

[reds44]

weren't they up 19 in the second half the other night?
Yep in game 3, and the blew it. Were up 23 in game 4, but won it. Now they are up by 20 with 7 minutes left, and are about to stretch it to a 6th game.

If they didn't blow game 3, they'd be going home with a chance to win the series.

[flyer85]

who knew Moeller would be the savior

[captainmorgan07]

bphillips lines out to center on the first pitch

[captainmorgan07]

another quick first inning for the reds

[VR]

who knew Moeller would be the savior

I hope they think Ross needs rest. Cause if they brought up Moeller to be the catcher against lefties....well, I'd question that.

[captainmorgan07]

lineout to hamilton 1 out

[REDREAD]

ok.. pitch a scoreless inning, Harang..

[Matt700wlw]

Brewers lost...again

[REDREAD]

I hope they think Ross needs rest. Cause if they brought up Moeller to be the catcher against lefties....well, I'd question that.

On Narron's pregame show, he said that he wanted to be able to use Valentin to pinch hit more, and wanted options for pinch running for catchers.

I guess that maybe he's lost patience with Valentin catching, after last night?

[captainmorgan07]

pop out to freel in foul ground 2 outs

[flyer85]

I hope they think Ross needs rest. Cause if they brought up Moeller to be the catcher against lefties....well, I'd question that.I question bringing up Moeller for any reason.

[jojo]

gameday suggests Harang is hitting 96 mph

[captainmorgan07]

walk to giles

[flyer85]

On Narron's pregame show, he said that he wanted to be able to use Valentin to pinch hit more, and wanted options for pinch running for catchers.

I guess that maybe he's lost patience with Valentin catching, after last night?I think they're just clueless

[Tom Servo]

gameday suggests Harang is hitting 96 mph
Just the usual 92-94 for Aaron.

[REDREAD]

Hooray.. we aren't losing yet! :lol:

[REDREAD]

I question bringing up Moeller for any reason.

I agree, I'd much rather have EdE up here. I think he'd contribute to more wins than Moeller. That's another problem I had with sending EdE down.. there wasn't anything worth a darn to replace him with.

[captainmorgan07]

young body singles

[reds44]

Narron used the same lineup only 22 times last year.

That's just. Wow.

[captainmorgan07]

double play

[captainmorgan07]

gonzo first pitch swinging flies out to center

[OesterPoster]

Boy, this is a blast so far.

[REDREAD]

I think they're just clueless

I agree. It's desparation. Shuffling around players to attempt to give the fans false hope. However, the fans are smart enough to know these moves are actually hurting more than they are helping.

[VR]

On Narron's pregame show, he said that he wanted to be able to use Valentin to pinch hit more, and wanted options for pinch running for catchers.

I guess that maybe he's lost patience with Valentin catching, after last night?

sadly, I think they saw 2 dingers in AAA and thought he was Johnny Bench.
Moeller has an unlimited supply of nothing to offer.

[edabbs44]

Well, at least Gonzo is back on this planet.

[REDREAD]

that was a bit scary over the radio.. but Cameron flies out.

[captainmorgan07]

cameron with warning track power wheww that was close

[reds44]

Yeah Petco.

[flyer85]

sadly, I think they saw 2 dingers in AAA and thought he was Johnny Bench.more like Johnny Quest

[captainmorgan07]

that one's way gone in great american

[RFS62]

Is George drunk?

He's slurring a lot of words

[VR]

Great. Now Moeller bags on Homer Bailer.

[Matt700wlw]

C. Trent with a Crash Davis reference...

[Matt700wlw]

Moeller likes Tom Schearn

[NorrisHopper30]

Shouldn't we all be celebrating, after all we aren't losing..

[captainmorgan07]

Shouldn't we all be celebrating, after all we aren't losing..

baby steps:laugh:

[VR]

Just sayin..

Jeff Conine batted 4th 70 times in the last 3 years.....42 so far in '07

[REDREAD]

Moeller likes Tom Schearn

Maybe Moeller was brought up to hype up the AAA guys that will be cycling through the pitching staff :)

[OesterPoster]

Shouldn't we all be celebrating, after all we aren't losing..

Well, there's that little thing known as the 8th inning...

:D

[reds44]

Send him to AAA.

42 times?

[edabbs44]

I'm still struggling with the fact that Moeller is on the big club.

[texasdave]

Every time they bat Conine fourth I reach for a fifth. :drink:

[captainmorgan07]

I'm still struggling with the fact that Moeller is on the big club.

we all are but aslong as he calls a better game than javy i can stomach it

[VR]

Brantley imagines Moeller coming up in an indictment of the unhappiness w/ Ross....who's OPSing .641 in May

So let's stick Moeller in there...whos CAREER OPS is .639

[captainmorgan07]

ground out to gonzo 1 out

[boognish]

42 times?

I'd imagine AB, not games...I did the same double take.

[NorrisHopper30]

I'm sick of these weather updates on 700

[captainmorgan07]

harang thru 3 no hits and walk

[flyer85]

moeller robbed of a hit by marcus gileshe stuck his glove out, if that's robbery.

[reds44]

he stuck his glove out, if that's robbery.
Juan Castro type robbery.

[captainmorgan07]

he stuck his glove out, if that's robbery.

very good point

[OnBaseMachine]

Five no-hitters have been thrown on May 15th in baseball history. Make it number six Aaron.

[flyer85]

Brantley imagines Moeller coming up in an indictment of the unhappiness w/ Ross....who's OPSing .641 in May

So let's stick Moeller in there...whos CAREER OPS is .639all the failures of the off-season have hit like a tidal wave.

I'm sick of these weather updates on 700

So am I :p:

18 game hitting streak!

[jesusfan]

BP doubles...

[NorrisHopper30]

Phillips is just on a tear...

[reds44]

18

[captainmorgan07]

the streak contines phillips doubles down the left field line

[OesterPoster]

BP!

Now, how 'bout a hit with a RISP?

[NorrisHopper30]

I'm calling a griffey rbi here


edit: nevermind nice base running

now griff needs to get a hr for an rbi

[flyer85]

Good thing Wells is pitching. I'd hate to think what a guy with an ERA under 6 could do to them.

[REDREAD]

more dumb baserunning by the reds

[VR]

Baserunners have attempted to steal 24 times against Bard. They have been successful 24 times.

[Matt700wlw]

Wow...

They should take his hit away for that.

[jesusfan]

okay... are we that stupid?

[OesterPoster]

WTH? That is absolutely boneheaded.

[captainmorgan07]

here's somethign we haven't seen in awhile bad baserunning shows up again

[flyer85]

Hopefully the Reds can line up the Bad News Bears for a game next week.

[OnBaseMachine]

More great baserunning by the Reds. For a guy who always talks about playing the game the right way, Narron's players sure don't.

[oneupper]

Phillips learned that from Freel.

[captainmorgan07]

that's a homer in GABP but it's a warning track flyout for griffey at petco

[TheBigLebowski]

I think this has become a lot more of a support group than it is a game thread.

[KYRed]

Hopefully the Reds can line up the Bad News Bears for a game next week.

Already done. They're flying into town next week with leather pants. The series loser actually takes over the official bad news crown.

[VR]

Picked off by a 49 year old, 293 lb meat packer....with cat like reflexes


Jeff Brantley is the suck on PBP. He thought Griffs fly ball was gone.

i thought it was for minute but then i was reminded that were playin in PETCO

[jesusfan]

I assume that is a rhetorical question.

oh yea, definitely...

[OesterPoster]

I think this has become a lot more of a support group than it is a game thread.

The first step is admitting you have a problem. :thumbup:

[texasdave]

The first step is admitting you have a problem. :thumbup:

If that is true then WK is telling me he isn't even to step one with his 'it's-not-time-to-panic-yet' statement.:(

[VR]

Tony Gwynn had more multiple double games (44) than multiple strikeout games (34) in his career. Yowza

[keeganbrick]

At least Harang is going to pitch a no hitter tonight.

[reds44]

I smell a CG.

[NorrisHopper30]

Another weather update, I can see it's lightning outside my house why do they keep reminding me and interrupting the game.

[OesterPoster]

4 innings completed in 44 minutes.

Call me pessimistic, but I sense a 1-0 loss getting hung on Harang yet tonight.

[RedsMan3203]

So far I haven't watched a single pitch of the game - Should I turn it on or no?

[captainmorgan07]

So far I haven't watched a single pitch of the game - Should I turn it on or no?

yes harang pitching very well

[Degenerate39]

At least Harang is going to pitch a no hitter tonight.

Thanks you probably just jinxed it.

[Degenerate39]

Now I see why Conine is batting clean up

[NorrisHopper30]

knock on wood

[Matt700wlw]

Another weather update, I can see it's lightning outside my house why do they keep reminding me and interrupting the game.

Because we have T-storm warnings coming down for other counties...

We have to...news and information comes before entertainment.

If the weren't warnings, and they weren't local, we wouldn't break in..... Sorry


Unlike TV, we don't have a logo and words we can put up in the upper left hand side of your speaker so you can read it. :)

Wheww!!1

[captainmorgan07]

nice play by gonzo

[Matt700wlw]

No No No More

[OnBaseMachine]

Harang loses his no-hitter on a play that EdE makes. Ryan Freel is not a third baseman.

[keeganbrick]

Alright, Im turnin it.

[captainmorgan07]

there goes the no no heck of an attempt by freel

[reds44]

Edwin gets to that.

Where the throw goes God only knows.

[Matt700wlw]

The Reds continue to throw Cameron fastballs when the scouting report says he can't hit breaking balls...

They did that last night, too....

[Degenerate39]

At least Harang is going to pitch a no hitter tonight.

Again thank you

[keeganbrick]

Again thank you

Please, this team is way past jinxable.

[OesterPoster]

Edwin gets to that.

Where the throw goes God only knows.

Freel's reaction to that ball was pathetic. It had taken one hop before he even moved toward the line. Though with Cameron running, it probably wouldn't have mattered.

[VR]

Wells has still faced the minimum number of batters, thanks to the BP baserunning blunder and the two Sean Caseys.


A new low on the how-bad-are-the-Reds-o-meter. David Wells faces the mininum through 5.

Never a fan of walking the .138 hitter.

[OnBaseMachine]

Why in the hell do you walk Kouzmanoff? Good grief. The guy hasn't hit a lick all year. Pitch to him so that you get the easy out in Wells to begin the sixth.

[reds44]

Freel's reaction to that ball was pathetic. It had taken one hop before he even moved toward the line. Though with Cameron running, it probably wouldn't have mattered.
He like took two hops before he moved his feet. It was a pathetic attempt.

And phew.

[OesterPoster]

Through 5 now, only 58 minutes so far.

[Falls City Beer]

A new low on the how-bad-are-the-Reds-o-meter. David Wells faces the mininum through 5.

Never a fan of walking the .138 hitter.

Wells has owned the Reds over his career. Sure, he's fat and old. But he throws strikes, and that's the Reds' kryptonite (cf. Maddux/Jon Leiber).

[texasdave]

A new low on the how-bad-are-the-Reds-o-meter. David Wells faces the mininum through 5.

Never a fan of walking the .138 hitter.

Doesn't that make it two games in a row the opposing starter has faced the minimum through 5 innings?

[reds44]

Wells has owned the Reds over his career. Sure, he's fat and old. But he throws strikes, and that's the Reds' kryptonite (cf. Maddux/Jon Leiber).
He's left handed too.

[reds44]

Yes.

[Degenerate39]

That IBB almost turned into a bad idea again

[keeganbrick]

Didnt realize Hamilton's average has dropped under the .250 mark.

[jesusfan]

Hambone finally with a hit... good hustle!

[Degenerate39]

Hustle

[reds44]

Slump buster.

[oneupper]

The ump is a really big dude.

Wow! Baserunners!

[captainmorgan07]

moeller singles

[NorrisHopper30]

wow

[Degenerate39]

Awful call looked safe to me

[Matt700wlw]

Good bunt, and good heads up play by the Padres...

Bummer....Hamilton out at third

[FlyerFanatic]

damn hamilton

[captainmorgan07]

he was safe

[TheBigLebowski]

Bullsh*t

[Degenerate39]

Awful call looked safe to me

Maybe not

[jesusfan]

only the reds...

[TheBigLebowski]

He was SAFE

[VR]

I just neg repped Brantley. Said the Reds needed a catcher who could play good defense and make contact.

It's Moeller Jeff. Look up the stats. He ain't the guy.

[jojo]

I'm thinkin' Wells isn't a gold glove candidate this year and Hamilton has a little left to learn about baserunning.....

[NorrisHopper30]

1-0 freel double

[REDREAD]

Alright, we have a lead :)

[Degenerate39]

Small ball? What?

[oneupper]

Very close at third.

[jesusfan]

we scored...

[FlyerFanatic]

would have been nice to have hamilton come in too

[Matt700wlw]

Freel!

[captainmorgan07]

freel rbi double 1-0 reds

[Degenerate39]

Alright, we have a lead :)

Let's keep it :thumbup:

[jesusfan]

wow

[LincolnparkRed]

Alright, we have a lead :)

I am not sure I remember what that is. Oh wait there is still an 8th inning to get through:thisyear:

[keeganbrick]

Back to back blistered balls by Phillips and Jr.

[Degenerate39]

What are the pitch counts for Harang and Boomer Wells?

[KYRed]

I'll take the run, but dissapointing to only get 1 off a single, single, and double. The Reds never fully capitalize on their chances.

[jojo]

maybe we'll see McBeth try to hold a lead...

[RedsMan3203]

Is it the 8th inning yet??

[reds44]

maybe we'll see McBeth try to hold a lead...
Harang thru 7.
McBeth 8th.

Gonzo ought to be a gold glover this year.

There, that looks better.

[Degenerate39]

maybe we'll see McBeth try to hold a lead...

I'd like to see him get a save

[George Foster]

Back to back blistered balls by Phillips and Jr.

only the Reds could get 2 singles, a double, and only score 1 run.

[Degenerate39]

Brandon Phillips ought to win a gold glove this year.

[jojo]

Gonzo ought to be a gold glover this year.

I don't think he has a realistic shot...

I know he has no shot....

Harang's pitch count was at 61 coming into the inning, which was very economical. If he could keep throwing 0s on the scoreboard, he'll likely keep his pitch count low enough that he'd be able to toss the complete game.

But right now he's got a little jam with a runner on 3rd and two outs. Just get an out here.

EDIT: He got the out. :)

[George Foster]

need an out here!!!

Lol, whats up with the player things before the commercial, are those new? Conine looked really scary.

for a big fat guy...Well's is still a gamer....

[Cyclone792]

Harang's pitch count is now at 74, and his 13 pitch 6th inning helped out a bit. He's still 36 pitches away from the 110 mark, and if he can keep cruising he can reach the 9th inning still quite a bit under the 110 pitch mark. That'd give him a decent shot at starting the 9th.

It helps if he's pitching against the Reds.

[NorrisHopper30]

Is this a record for most weight combined by starting pitchers? They keep track of that kind of record for age, why not weight?

[RedsMan3203]

We should trade for him.

FYI - just had a SteelSD sighting in Old Red Guard for those who have been missing his posts.

How much does Wells weigh?

I'd pitch Harang till the 15th tonight if it came to that.... :cool:

I'd wager that Sidney Ponson holds that record. Maybe a Ponson and Sabbathia matchup would yield a higher weight total than Harang and Boomer.

Dunn, should of took more BP instead of appearing on the Best Damn Sports Show today.
