Phillies at Reds - 4/6/2008

[Reds Fanatic]

Here are the lineups from Trent:


Phillies

Rollins ss
Victorino cf
Utley 2b
Howard 1b
Burrell lf
Jenkins rf
Feliz 3b
Ruiz c
Myers p

Redlegs

Patterson cf
Keppinger ss
Griffey rf
Phillips 2b
Dunn lf
Encarnacion 3b
Votto 1b
Bako c
Volquez p

[OnBaseMachine]

Hopefully Volquez pitches well gets his first Reds win. We need to win this game because Cole Hamels is pitching tomorrow and we all remember what he did to the Reds last season.

[Raisor]

Not a Sunday special!

[membengal]

God bless ya, Dusty, for starting off the season without giving us a "Sunday special". It darn near brings a tear to my eye.

[Matt700wlw]

I see the first base situation remains an every other day event....but I'm glad to see a Sunday lineup with some substance.

[oneupper]

All those pining for "lineup stability" should be loving Dusty by now.

[Tom Servo]

I fully expected to see Castro in this lineup. What a relief.

[RedlegJake]

The relief for me has been that so far Castro hasn't seen the light of day - and it's a pleasant surprise. Kepp's hitting has quieted that possibility I guess.

[OnBaseMachine]

Let's hope the offense decides to show up today. It's nice that we have three wins already considering the offense is scoring just under 4 runs a game so far.

[LincolnparkRed]

Is this the third or fourth start for Voloquez versus the Phils? Hopefully they haven't figured him out yet.

[Cyclone792]

The Reds haven't faced Myers since 2005, which means most of the lineup hasn't seen much of Myers. The two notables ...

Dunn: .273/.467/.909/1.376 with two homers, one double, and four walks in 15 total PAs
Griffey: .333/.400/.444/.844 with one double and one walk in 10 total PAs

Let's hope Dunn and/or Griffey can light Myers up today and help get the offense rolling.

Let's hope Dunn and/or Griffey can light Myers up today and help get the offense rolling.
Are you sure, Cyclone? I may be wrong but I seem to recall Dunn/Edwin/someone hitting back to back to back homers off of Myers in the summer of 2006.

[RedlegJake]

It'd be nice if Dunn and Junior started rolling, both are due. Heck, the whole lineup is due, these guys are going to hit a lot better than we've seen so far. It would be nice to get Edinson a bunch of runs early so he could just relax and let er rip.

[Cyclone792]

Are you sure, Cyclone? I may be wrong but I seem to recall Dunn/Edwin/someone hitting back to back to back homers off of Myers in the summer of 2006.

Actually, good catch cause you're right. Baseball Reference is apparently now charging for the full info and didn't have the 2006 starts listed.

The Reds did face Myers twice in 2006. He pretty much shut us down once, then we teed off on him the second time around with Dunn and Encarnacion hitting back-to-back homers (ironically I was at the latter game in Philly so I can't believe I forgot that).

[membengal]

All those pining for "lineup stability" should be loving Dusty by now.

I am in heaven.

[Far East]

Let's hope the offense decides to show up today. It's nice that we have three wins already considering the offense is scoring just under 4 runs a game so far.
The Reds have been getting base runners but leaving many of those runners stranded.

The Baseball Musings website predicts that today's lineup should score an average of 4.378 runs per game over a season. That site, which uses only OBP and SLG, predicts other batting orders that should score higher on average.

For example, one lineup that might interest Zoners is:
Keppinger, Dunn, Encarnacion, Votto, Griffey, Phillips, Patterson, Pitcher, Bako... that hypothetically should score 4.800 runs per game.

[KittyDuran]

long lines at the ticket windows... might be a good crowd!

[reds44]

Alright, lets see what Edinson has.

[Matt700wlw]

I'm excited!!

That's a good thing!

[edabbs44]

Not a Sunday special!

I'm thinking there might be a Monday special, especially since Hamels is on the mound.

[Reds Fanatic]

Not sure why the game has not started yet. It was supposed to be a 1:15 start.

[Matt700wlw]

94

[reds44]

Griffey has the range of a turtle.

[Reds Fanatic]

Rollins singles to right.

[Tom Servo]

Jeez Junior...

[Joseph]

Send the kid to the minors!

[edabbs44]

Griffey has the range of a turtle.

Yeah, that could have been caught.

Blooper down the RF line.

[Matt700wlw]

4 pitches....4 strikes (one was hit)

[Reds Fanatic]

Victorino flies out to left. 1 out.

[Matt700wlw]

77 mph changeup

[reds44]

Where was that pitch?

[Joseph]

He's getting shelled!

:)

[Matt700wlw]

Quick poll: Who would you rather have...Chase Utley or Brandon Phillips?

[NC Reds]

Extra Innings hid the game on one of the hockey channels on my cable. Nice. I missed the first two hitters. :thumbdown

[Kc61]

Yeah, that could have been caught.

Blooper down the RF line.


Hit the 600 already Griff, then it's time for DH.

[Reds Fanatic]

Utley files out to center. 2 outs.

[Tom Servo]

Edinson retires the greatest baseball player in the history of the universe (atleast according to George Grande)

[Gainesville Red]

Extra Innings hid the game on one of the hockey channels on my cable. Nice. I missed the first two hitters. :thumbdown

I noticed that. I'm glad I wasn't trying to DVR it.

[Matt700wlw]

Nice throw...

[Joseph]

Nice throw Bako.

[reds44]

Bako is an awful thrower.

[MWM]

That first pitch to Utley was right down the middle of the plate. Called a ball.

[NC Reds]

Bako is Hebrew for "can't throw."

[Reds Fanatic]

Rollins steals 2nd. Good thing Phillips was baking the play up because Bako's throw was way off.

[edabbs44]

Quick poll: Who would you rather have...Chase Utley or Brandon Phillips?

Utley.

[Matt700wlw]

That was filthy

[reds44]

That was a nasty slider, but I don't think Bako was expecting a slider.

[Gainesville Red]

Utley.

I'd hope to not have to choose. I'm sure I could talk one of them into playing short.

[edabbs44]

Nice slider to Howard. 2-1 count on a swing and a miss.

[reds44]

Quick poll: Who would you rather have...Chase Utley or Brandon Phillips?
Utley by far.

[edabbs44]

I'd hope to not have to choose. I'm sure I could talk one of them into playing short.

Utley played some 1st when he came up and Polanco was there, IIRC.

[Reds Fanatic]

Howard walks. 1st and 2nd.

[Tom Servo]

he walked a guy, demote him!

[Joseph]

He's wild! Get him out of there!

[reds44]

Bako is helping his young pitcher out.

[Matt700wlw]

Bako could have caught that

[MWM]

Utley over Phillips. I like Phillips and all, but he's not in Utley's class.

[Reds Fanatic]

Bako off to a horrible start. Passed ball. 2nd and 3rd.

[edabbs44]

Bako is helping his young pitcher out.

By not catching that PB?

2nd and 3rd.

[Joseph]

In all seriousness do he and Bako not look on the same page?

[reds44]

Nice snatch by Edinson!

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice fielding by Volquez. 0-0 mid 1st.

[reds44]

By not catching that PB?

2nd and 3rd.
Sarcasm my friend.

[Tom Servo]

I love Volquez's "burrell please" attitude after that grab.

[edabbs44]

Volquez just saved his butt.

Looked like Dorn in Major League. :)

[edabbs44]

Sarcasm my friend.

I thought you meant when he went out to the mound prior to that pitch.

[reds44]

I love Volquez's "burrell please" attitude after that grab.
:lol:

[Falls City Beer]

I love Volquez's "burrell please" attitude after that grab.

:)

[reds44]

I thought you meant when he went out to the mound prior to that pitch.
Nope. He had a PB and threw into CF trying to get Rollins, wasn't a very good inning for him.

[Reds Fanatic]

15 pitches with 9 of them strikes for Volquez that inning.

[Joseph]

WHIP of 2!

BABIP of .250

He's toast.

[Highlifeman21]

Quick poll: Who would you rather have...Chase Utley or Brandon Phillips?

No brainer, Chase Utley.

[reds44]

CPatt now 0/14 lifetime against Myers.

[Reds Fanatic]

Patterson flies out to left. 1 out.

[Matt700wlw]

Guess what....Keppinger gets another hit

[reds44]

That dude just hits.

[Reds Fanatic]

Keppinger singles to right. Jenkins cuts it off and holds him to a single.

[Kc61]

Keppinger should lead off for the Reds. For 162 games.

[Tom Servo]

Someone tell George that Country Kepp is a much better nickname than "JK".

[reds44]

594.

[Matt700wlw]

:griffey:

:jump:

HERE WE GO!!!

[Tom Servo]

That Guy!

[MrCinatit]

Ain't that the sweetest sight in the world?

[edabbs44]

Jr = bomb.

[WMR]

SUCCESS!! LIQUID PANT EXPLOSION!! :party: PARTY TIME

[Reds Fanatic]

#594 for Junior!! 2-0 Reds!

[Big Klu]

I hate the Cleveland Cavaliers! For the third time this week, the Reds game is being pre-empted on FSN because of a Cavs game later in the day! :angry: :angry: :angry:

[Highlifeman21]

Oh Junior, don't think HRs make up for not catching balls in RF

[Matt700wlw]

I hate the Cleveland Cavaliers! For the third time this week, the Reds game is being pre-empted on FSN because of a Cavs game later in the day! :angry: :angry: :angry:

Lebron's got nothing on Griffey ;)

[Matt700wlw]

With Bonds being blacklisted from baseball, Griffey now holds the HR lead for active players...

[reds44]

Dunn walks

[OnBaseMachine]

Griffey has the range of a turtle.

Yeah that ball should have caught. The homer makes up for it though.

[Matt700wlw]

6 walks for Dunn this week

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips pops out and Dunn walks.

[Big Klu]

Lebron's got nothing on Griffey ;)

My cable company has televised only two Reds games so far this season--Opening Day (which I didn't watch because I was there), and Friday's game. :angry:

[reds44]

That looked inside.

[Reds Fanatic]

Encarnacion strikes out looking. 2-0 Reds after 1.

[edabbs44]

Dunn career OPS in March/April: 1.030. His best month by far.

March/April 2008 (going into today): .424

Here's to better weeks ahead.

[WVRedsFan]

Patterson flies out to left. 1 out.
He and Phillips have to be the most patient hitters in the National League.

:D

[Reds Fanatic]

My cable company has televised only two Reds games so far this season--Opening Day (which I didn't watch because I was there), and Friday's game. :angry:
I think it is a Blue Jackets game that has you blacked out today. You might want to see if there is an alternate channel that they are showing the Reds on.

[Tom Servo]

Anybody else watching on Extra Innings ready to kill someone if they have to hear "The RED SOX" and "BOISE!" one more time?

[Kc61]

Forgive me, EE fans, but right now it appears he is up there looking for walks. I don't think he took the bat off his shoulder that time. I know his OBP is good so far, but he won't be getting walks if pitchers know he's reluctant to swing the bat.

[WVRedsFan]

Oh Junior, don't think HRs make up for not catching balls in RF

Good grief.

[reds44]

Forgive me, EE fans, but right now it appears he is up there looking for walks. I don't think he took the bat off his shoulder that time. I know his OBP is good so far, but he won't be getting walks if pitchers know he's reluctant to swing the bat.
And that's when he starts hitting.

[Tom Servo]

Where did that one miss?

[OnBaseMachine]

That was a strike on EdE.

[Matt700wlw]

The bottom fell out of that pitch..

[reds44]

K #1 for Edinson

[Reds Fanatic]

Jenkins strikes out swinging. 1 out.

[OnBaseMachine]

Classic case of young pitchers getting squeezed by umps.

[RedlegJake]

4 straight fastballs abnd froze him with that changeup !!!!!!!!!! Man his change is wicked

[Reds Fanatic]

Feliz pops out to short. 2 outs.

[reds44]

96.

[Matt700wlw]

Takes care of that!

[Tom Servo]

Beautiful inning.

[Falls City Beer]

http://www.junior.hitcom.de/daniel/web/bilder/wrestling/hulk-hogan.jpg

If you hurt my friends and you hurt my pride, I gotta be a man, I can't let it slide.

[reds44]

Volquez is NASTY.

2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K

That was a fast inning.

[Reds Fanatic]

Ruiz strikes out swinging. 2 Ks for Volquez. 2-0 Reds mid 2nd.

[RedlegJake]

K#2. Great inning.

[SteelSD]

Volquez just followed up a 96 MPH fastball with an 83 MPH change. Both for called strikes. Nasty.

[CrackerJack]

How in the world do they let Volquez wear that huge gold piece of bling?

[Reds Fanatic]

Through two innings 24 pitches (16 strikes, 8 balls) for Volquez.

[Matt700wlw]

Cueto and Volquez...

:roll:

[Big Klu]

I think it is a Blue Jackets game that has you blacked out today. You might want to see if there is an alternate channel that they are showing the Reds on.

I hate them, too. Right now, FSN is showing "Sports Science." The alternate channel? Also showing "Sports Science"! :angry:

[Falls City Beer]

How in the world do they let Volquez wear that huge gold piece of bling?

Whatcha gonna DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?

[reds44]

Cueto and Volquez...

:roll:
Now if we can find a 5th starter......

Although I think I would like Belisle fine as the 5th starter.

[RedlegJake]

Gameday calls that strikeout pitch to Jenkins a slider. Whichever it totally fooled Jenkins after those fastballs. Also each fastball got faster according to gameday. Just a great inning. Volquez is real folks.

[Matt700wlw]

young GOOD pitching (it seems)

:roll:

[reds44]

That was an ugly AB.

[M2]

Volquez just followed up a 96 MPH fastball with an 83 MPH change. Both for called strikes. Nasty.

Whatever ...

[OnBaseMachine]

bad atbat by Votto.

[Patrick Bateman]

That was a sick inning. He looked great in the first too, but I think the level of competition had something to do with the baserunners he let on. That inning, he got some schlubs and made them look like children.

[Reds Fanatic]

Votto strikes out swinging. 1 out.

[reds44]

Bako is on FIYA.

[Tom Servo]

Bako's a hitting machine!

[Matt700wlw]

:laugh: Bako

[Reds Fanatic]

Bako is a hitting machine. His 4th hit in the last 2 days. Single to right.

[Matt700wlw]

Ok, so Volquez isn't much of a bunter :dunno:

[reds44]

Volquez looks like an AL pitcher.

[RedlegJake]

Bako strikes again! singles

[Tom Servo]

bunting is hard for the redlegs

[Reds Fanatic]

Volquez fouls out to the catcher on that bunt attempt. 2 outs.

[Falls City Beer]

I gotta be a man. I can't let it slide.

I am a real
American.

Fight--for the rights

of
every
ma--
n.

[reds44]

0/15 vs. Myers

Today would have been a good day to start Norris Hopper.

[Tom Servo]

Bako's also a running machine, too bad it's for naught.

[Matt700wlw]

Sweet....inning's over. That means more Volquez :D

[Reds Fanatic]

Patterson strikes out looking. 2-0 Reds after 2.

[Tom Servo]

Thank you for getting Real American stuck in my head, FCB.

[SteelSD]

Whatever ...

Huh?

[WVRedsFan]

Patterson strikes out looking. 2-0 Reds after 2.

Can't believe Corey actually took a pitch....

[RedlegJake]

Huh?

Had the same reaction...

[OnBaseMachine]

Huh?

I think he's referring to Valentin's quote.

[SteelSD]

I think he's referring to Valentin's quote.

Ah. Got it! LOL!

[Reds Fanatic]

Myers flies out to right. 1 out.

[M2]

Huh?

I was picking on princeton's making a mountain out of Valentin's "whatever" molehill.

I intend on posting whatever's whenever Volquez does something good.

[Yachtzee]

Cueto and Volquez...

:roll:

Nikolai Volquez and the Iron Sheik.

[RedlegJake]

I was picking on princeton's making a mountain out of Valentin's "whatever" molehill.

I intend on posting whatever's whenever Volquez does something good.

Aha...now I gotcha

[Matt700wlw]

Rollins had no chance on that pitch

[reds44]

Volquez just put J-Roll in a knot.

[Matt700wlw]

...or that one

[Tom Servo]

The MVP goes down looking.

[OnBaseMachine]

Nice fastball to K Rollins!

[Reds Fanatic]

Nasty pitch. Rollins strikes out looking. 3 Ks. 2 outs.

[guttle11]

FCB's got it wrong. This is nWo Hollywood Volquez. Taking over.

[Matt700wlw]

Filth. Pure filth.

:)

[reds44]

That was a SICK pitch.

94 MPH heater that came back onto the plate. That was some sick arm action.

[M2]

The MVP goes down looking.

Whatever ...

[RedlegJake]

3 Ks, 34 pitches, 22 strikes. He's dealing.

[WMR]

Dang his FB has sick movement.

[Falls City Beer]

Thank you for getting Real American stuck in my head, FCB.

http://www.derok.net/derek3/images/classics/wwf%20hogan%20leg%20drop.jpg

[Matt700wlw]

Wow...wow.

[reds44]

Victorino was a tad early on the change.

[OnBaseMachine]

Again!

[guttle11]

At this rate, Cueto and Volquez will be on DJ Khaled's next remix.

[reds44]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA I am LOVING this.

3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K

[Kc61]

Haven't seen Volquez pitch before.

Wow.

[Reds Fanatic]

Another nice pitch. Victorino strikes out looking. 4 Ks. 7 in a row retired by Volquez. 2-0 Reds.

[CrackerJack]

paintin' that inside corner low and foolin' suckas

[Tom Servo]

I love Cueto and Volquez like the Dominican brothers I never had.

[Matt700wlw]

The Phills are getting frustrated.

[WVRedsFan]

The neat thing is that he shows no control problems. The walk to Howard was intentional (so to speak). The kid's got great stuff and is showing us how good right now.

[RedlegJake]

OMG...tha heat is moving too. He throws a breaking fastball. 4 Ks

[Reds Fanatic]

38 pitches (25 strikes, 13 balls) for Volquez.

[reds44]

Remember people, Volquez wasn't even going to be in the Rangers rotation.

Riiiiight......

[Yachtzee]

Victorino was a tad early on the change.

Volquez and that double flap helmet make Victorino look like a Little Leaguer.

[Falls City Beer]

http://www.wallpaperbase.com/wallpapers/celebsm/hulkhogan/hulk_hogan_1.jpg

[reds44]

OMG...tha heat is moving too. He throws a breaking fastball. 4 Ks
Yeah I don't think I've ever seen movement on a fastball like his. It's amazing.

[Tommyjohn25]

Oh. My. God. Folks, we have a rotation.

[NC Reds]

I'm not used to this good starting pitching. Where's Milton? Where is Dave Williams? Fogg keeps their spirit alive.

[M2]

My theoretical outfield whatever count for Volquez would now look like this:

WWMM

[OnBaseMachine]

3-0 to Kepp.

[WVRedsFan]

Oh. My. God. Folks, we have a rotation.
Not until Fogg fogs out. We have a good 4.

[reds44]

Keppinger is a STUD.

3-0

[Tom Servo]

Country Kepp!

[OnBaseMachine]

Gone!!!

3-0 Reds.

[guttle11]

Country Kepp!

[NC Reds]

Love me some Country Kepp.

[Matt700wlw]

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

:jump:

He MUST play daily. MUST.

[Reds Fanatic]

Keppinger homers to left. 3-0 Reds!

[Yachtzee]

Love me some Country Kepp.

The Philla Killa!

[SteelSD]

Keppinger calmly stares at strike one on a three-ball count, knowing that he'll hit a HR on the next pitch.

That's the story I'll be sticking to.

[RedlegJake]

If Belisle has straightened out whatever was bothering him this spring he'll take Fogg's place soon and then we'll have 5.

[WMR]

FCB's got it wrong. This is nWo Hollywood Volquez. Taking over.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzNL_2tr-uE

[Reds Fanatic]

Junior flies out to center. 1 out.

[Matt700wlw]

The bats appear to be waking up...

[Yachtzee]

I'm not used to this good starting pitching. Where's Milton? Where is Dave Williams? Fogg keeps their spirit alive.

When was the last time the Reds had two young starters like this? The Gold Dust Twins?

[Reds Fanatic]

Phillips doubles to left center.

[guttle11]

BPhil to the gap.

Offense and pitching? Oh my.

[reds44]

The Reds are beating up on Myers.....

There is a joke there that I won't touch.

[Tom Servo]

So if it's nWo Hollywood Volquez do we also have nWo Wolfpac Cueto?

[OnBaseMachine]

Phillips hammered that.

[Falls City Beer]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzNL_2tr-uE

http://media.collegepublisher.com/media/paper689/stills/k4xbtv4h.jpg

[RedlegJake]

Thats alright, Junior's starting to get the feel...you can see him coming on

[reds44]

Georgey Poo made a boo boo.

[Reds Fanatic]

Dunn breaks his bat and hits a soft liner to 1st. 2 outs.

[Falls City Beer]

24 inch pythons

[Yachtzee]

So if it's nWo Hollywood Volquez do we also have nWo Wolfpac Cueto?

You know, I want to say that the Reds already did some nWo gimmick with a group of relievers back in the '90s.

[Reds Fanatic]

Edwin grounds out to short. 3-0 Reds after 3.

[OnBaseMachine]

Utley/Howard/Burrell due up this inning. If Volquez can hold them to just a run this inning I'd be pretty happy.

[Yachtzee]

I haven't seen young pitching with the Reds in so long, I'm tempted to spring for the EI package even though I know full well I can't afford it. Oh well, I still have XM Radio. I have Cueto's game recorded and I'm recording this one as well, so there will be some fun to go back and watch if things work out today.

[Falls City Beer]

Utley/Howard/Burrell due up this inning. If Volquez can hold them to just a run this inning I'd be pretty happy.

They'll be wondering what to do after the largest arms in wrestling run wild. On them.

[Matt700wlw]

Utley out.

[Reds Fanatic]

Utley flies out to the warning track in right. 1 out.

[reds44]

Volquez is throwing pitches at 3 different speeds.

Mid 70's
Lower Mid 80's
Mid 90's

[MWM]

I loathe Brett Myers and hope the Reds beat him all over the place. He's in my top 3 least favorite major leaguers.

[Matt700wlw]

Howard is miffed...

[reds44]

Change up!

5 Ks

[Matt700wlw]

He had no chance. NONE.

[M2]

I loathe Brett Myers and hope the Reds beat him all over the place. He's in my top 3 least favorite major leaguers.

You wouldn't dare give him that kind of lip if you were married to him.

[Reds Fanatic]

Nice pitch. Howard strikes out swinging. 5 Ks.

[guttle11]

Ridiculous.

[OnBaseMachine]

Beautiful changeup to K Howard!

[M2]

WWMMW

[Yachtzee]

Nasty change-up. We should call Cueto and Volquez the Super Mario (Soto) Bros.

[NC Reds]

Volquez is filthy.

I have to beat this dead horse one final time. I'm pulling for Drew Stubbs, yes...but what if we had drafted Lincecum and had him in this rotation too. It boggles my mind. :eek:

[Matt700wlw]

96

[Tommyjohn25]

Nasty change-up. We should call Cueto and Volquez the Super Mario (Soto) Bros.

Brilliant!

[MrCinatit]

Nasty change-up. We should call Cueto and Volquez the Super Mario (Soto) Bros.

I love it!

[guttle11]

Burrell was spared. This time.

[OnBaseMachine]

Walks Burrell on a close 3-2 pitch. Damn.

[Falls City Beer]

http://img302.imageshack.us/img302/1884/hulkhogan34ln.jpg

[reds44]

He hit 98 on ball four.

98!

[Matt700wlw]

I don't care if that was a ball...that hit 98

[Reds Fanatic]

Burrell walks.

[Playadlc]

98

[Matt700wlw]

That ball is sick!

[RedlegJake]

What I liked was the 3-2 count slider he threw -he's not afraid to use anything anytime -that's a BIG league pitcher.

[Tommyjohn25]

98
