vs. Dave Bush (3-4, 5.67).

Apparently Nix's performance of late was too poor to warrant his inclusion in the lineup. (Or he is hurt but the Reds have been too healthy for that to be the case.)

[VR]

Surprised to see Nix out of there as well.

Stubbs flies out.
Janish walks.

[HokieRed]

Surprised to see Nix out of there as well.

Stubbs flies out.
Janish walks.


To have Nix out there would be to play the best lineup, which violates Dusty's principles.

[TheNext44]

Votto K's
Phillips pops out to Right field

Votto's looking like he will finish the year with similar numbers from last year. Big time slump this past month.

[TheNext44]

Lopez flies to shallow center

1 out

[TheNext44]

Gerut walks

1 on, one out

[TheNext44]

[TheNext44]

3-0 Brewers

[Kc61]

Prince probably wins the game.

Who's pitching tomorrow?

[TheNext44]

Lehr's luck is evening out.

[TheNext44]

Prince probably wins the game.

Who's pitching tomorrow?

Bailey goes against Billingsley tomorrow

[Chip R]

The clock is striking midnight for Lehr

[TheNext44]

McGehee walks

1 on, 1 out, 3 in

[VR]

The clock is striking midnight for Lehr

2AM on my clock, coyote ugly.

2 straight changeups to Prince?

[TheNext44]

The clock is striking midnight for Lehr

"Grandpa, tell us about that time you pitched a shutout, again."

[TheNext44]

Cameron crushes a ball over Stubbs head in center.

McGehee scores

4-0 Brewers

[Kc61]

Bailey goes against Billingsley tomorrow

Oh, the Dodgers. That should be fun. Reds really play them tough, LOL.

FWIW, Reds have won three in a row and this looks like a loss. Dusty, let Lehr stay out there. Save the pen today.

[TheNext44]

Riveria flies out to Gomes in left

1 on second, 2 out, 4 in

[Tom Servo]

3-0 Brewers

Fielder slams homer to right
I'd like to take this time to say that I wasn't online yesterday when it happened but I couldn't stop laughing when Kip Wells was left in to face Prince and Welsh said "Look out for the first pitch" and Prince proceeds to smash the first pitch for a HR.


I feel bad for Lehr (because I want all Reds to do well) but I'm glad that he's being exposed as not very good now rather than later.

[TheNext44]

Bush out 4-3

Brewers bat around in the first. edit: correction, Macha pulls a LaRussa and bats the pitcher 8th.

4-0 after 1.

[HeatherC1212]

At least this game should be done without any extra innings. :p:

[VR]

Surprised the Reds didn't hold a presser this AM announcing Lehr signing a 3Yr/12M contract...

Lehr, Michalak and Shearn should go out for a beer one night and compere stories.

[Kc61]

Did anyone explain why Nix is out of the lineup today?

The Reds don't have many lefty bats on the active roster, but why is Votto the only one playing today?

[TheNext44]

Rolen out 6-3
Balantein smokes one but Escobar makes another nice play, out 6-3
Gomes K's

Brewers 4-0 end of 1.5

[TheNext44]

Escobar lines one to Lehr. He snares it and throws him out 1-3

1 out

[Kc61]

Majewski with a double off the wall. (Lopez)

[TheNext44]

Lopez smokes one to center, about a foot shy of a homer.

1 on second, 1 out

[TheNext44]

Gerut lines out to Votto 3

1 on second, 2 out

[TheNext44]

Majewski with a double off the wall. (Lopez)

lol:laugh:

[TheNext44]

Janish with great Concepcion/Larkin like play in the hole and a laser to throw him out at first.

Why can't hit just a little?

[HeatherC1212]

Isn't Dave Bush a lefty? That might be why Nix is sitting today.

[BRM]

Isn't Dave Bush a lefty? That might be why Nix is sitting today.

Bush is a RHP. It's just Dusty being Dusty.

[BRM]

Dusty, let Lehr stay out there. Save the pen today.

I agree. Let Lehr take one for the team.

[TheNext44]

Tatum flies out to RF
Lehr K's

2 out

[TheNext44]

Stubbs flies to LF

3 up, 3 down

4-0 Brewers after 2.5

[TheNext44]

Watching the Brewers feed on Extra Innings.

They just had a tailgate tip on how to make Escargot Crustini's with garlic Aoli. Seriously, what is happening to this country? Snails at at tailgate party in Wisconsin?

:dunno:

[HeatherC1212]

Bush is a RHP. It's just Dusty being Dusty.

Oh okay. Who's the lefty for the Brewers then? For some reason I thought it was Bush. :confused:

[TheNext44]

Fielder walks to start the inning. Lehr is getting smarter.

1 on, no outs

[TheNext44]

Oh okay. Who's the lefty for the Brewers then? For some reason I thought it was Bush. :confused:

I believe Parra is a lefty.

[TheNext44]

McGehee flies out to right

1 on, 1 out

[HeatherC1212]

I believe Parra is a lefty.

Thank you. That sounds right and I knew they had one there. :)

[TheNext44]

Cameron K's
Riveria singles to center

2 on, 2 out

[TheNext44]

Bush K's

Brewers 4-0 after 3

[Kc61]

I guess Owings could throw a few innings for the Reds today.

Lehr, Owings, and pray for rain.

[BRM]

Who will be the first Red to get a hit today? And yes, "no one" would be an acceptable answer.

[TheNext44]

Who will be the first Red to get a hit today? And yes, "no one" would be an acceptable answer.

Bush has a near no-no this year, if I remember correctly.

[TheNext44]

Janish doubles to right center

1 on second, no outs.

[Strikes Out Looking]

Who will be the first Red to get a hit today? And yes, "no one" would be an acceptable answer.

Rolen

[TheNext44]

Who will be the first Red to get a hit today? And yes, "no one" would be an acceptable answer.

I guessing Paul Janish.

[BRM]

Janish is red hot!

[HeatherC1212]

I think Janish wants to be part of this team next year, LOL :D

[TheNext44]

Votto really does not look good lately. He's not squaring up on the ball like he did earlier. He's just missing the pitches he needs to crush.

[TheNext44]

Votto really does not look good lately. He's not squaring up on the ball like he did earlier. He's just missing the pitches he needs to crush.

Are you kidding, he just crushed the ball to center for a double. Stop over-reacting!

[BRM]

Hey, only Raisor is allowed to quote himself.

[TheNext44]

Votto doubles to right center. Janish scores.

1 on second, no outs, one in.

[BRM]

If Gameday is to be believed, Phillips swung at 3 straight pitches out of the strike zone in that at-bat.

[TheNext44]

Hey, only Raisor is allowed to quote himself.

Tell Raisor, there's a new self absorbed, egomaniac on this board. :p:

[HokieRed]

More of Dusty's lineup principles. The 7 hitter has 175 OPS points on the 4 hitter (who's got a lifetime sub .700 against righties)

[TheNext44]

If Gameday is to be believed, Phillips swung at 3 straight pitches out of the strike zone in that at-bat.

Why wouldn't one believe that?

[TheNext44]

Phillips and Rolen ground out to Escobar at SS. 6-3

Votto still at second. two outs, one in

[BRM]

More of Dusty's lineup principles. The 7 hitter has 175 OPS points on the 4 hitter (who's got a lifetime sub .700 against righties)

Dusty laughs at your fancy batting splits.

[BRM]

Why wouldn't one believe that?

This "one" certainly believes it.

[TheNext44]

Balantein pops out to Braun at 3rd 5

Brewers 4-1 after 3.5

[HeatherC1212]

YAY JOEY! :D

I think he felt the need to quiet you up there, TheNext44, LOL ;)

[HokieRed]

You could just pick out the names at random and make more sense of the lineup than Dusty.

[TheNext44]

1-2-3 inning for Lehr

Escobar flies out to Stubbs in center 8
Lopez K's
Gerut flies out to Gomes 7

Brewers 4-1 after 4

[BRM]

Lehr has settled in nicely after the bad 1st inning. Hopefully he can chew up 7 or 8 innings today.

[TheNext44]

Gomes lazy fly to center on first pitch

1 out

[TheNext44]

Tatum pops up to second

2 0ut

[BRM]

Lehr works a walk. Would be nice to see some of that power potential from Stubbs right here.

[TheNext44]

Lehr with a great AB. Fouls off two 3-2 pitches, then gets draws the walk.

1 one. 2 out

Bush at 83 pitches, probably his last inning.

[TheNext44]

Stubbs singles hard to center

2 on. 2 out

[TheNext44]

Good thing Dusty likes to have a big bat in the two hole.

Janish doubles to left, crushes it to the top of the wall

two runners in, Janish at second. two out.

Votto walked intentionally.

Bush could not finish 5 to get the win.

[KoryMac5]

Janish is locked in, maybe he just needed consistent AB's.

[TheNext44]

Two out, the pitcher up, and he couldn't finish the job. No one to blame but himself.

[TheNext44]

Janish is locked in, maybe he just needed consistent AB's.

Or needs to face mediocre pitching on a regular basis. :cool:

[KoryMac5]

Melvin needs to be working the phone to start trimming the fat on the Brew Crew's roster.

[LincolnparkRed]

Janish is locked in, maybe he just needed consistent AB's.

being lazy, what did he project in the minors? I always remember him as a great glove, maybe bat, is that right?

[TheNext44]

Got to give Lehr credit. He bounces back after a terrible first inning, and then works an important walk to help the team get back into the game.

[HeatherC1212]

My fantasy team smiles a little more every time Joey gets walked in a game. :)

I actually like Janish a lot and I hope he can keep hitting because his defense is pretty great and I really like he and Rolen as a team on the left side.

[BRM]

being lazy, what did he project in the minors? I always remember him as a great glove, maybe bat, is that right?

He didn't hit much at all in the high minors. I believe he projected as nothing more than a backup.

[TheNext44]

being lazy, what did he project in the minors? I always remember him as a great glove, maybe bat, is that right?

I have no idea about projections, but here are his career minor league numbers:

.261 .351 .382 .733

[KoryMac5]

Who is this team and what have they done with the Reds?

[TheNext44]

Phillips ties the game with a double to right

second and third, two outs, three in.

[TheNext44]

Rolen with clutch two out single to center

one on, two out, five in.

6-4 Reds

[BRM]

BP must have forgotten that he can't hit righties.

[VR]

5 straight hits. That HAS to be a season high. Anyone finding out the answer gets 1000 rep points.

[TheNext44]

Rolen was on that pitch like Kirsty Ally on a doughnut.

[lollipopcurve]

Janish is acquitting himself well.

Many hate this phrase, but I'll use it anyway -- he's a ballplayer. He's got some intensity to him, too.

[Hoosier Red]

He didn't hit much at all in the high minors. I believe he projected as nothing more than a backup.

I thought his offensive numbers recovered from miserable to awful in the high minors. In the early going he couldn't hit anything and Princeton kept trying to make him a pitcher.

[HeatherC1212]

Wow, I go off to work a little bit and the offense is totally awake this afternoon! What happened?! :eek:

Go Reds!! :D

[VR]

Janish is acquitting himself well.

Many hate this phrase, but I'll use it anyway -- he's a ballplayer. He's got some intensity to him, too.

Perhaps he looks different today....but intensity seems to be one thing that Janish doesn't have. He usually looks defeated up there swinging the bat.

[TheNext44]

being lazy, what did he project in the minors? I always remember him as a great glove, maybe bat, is that right?

I did some quick research and couldn't find anyone with those type of numbers in the minors who then had a decent offensive career in the majors. But it was very quick and there easily could be someone out there. But it would be very rare.

Put it this way, even Bartlett in Tampa had an OPS 50 points higher in the minors.

[BRM]

I thought his offensive numbers recovered from miserable to awful in the high minors. In the early going he couldn't hit anything and Princeton kept trying to make him a pitcher.

His best year in AAA was 2008 with this line: .252/.324/.387

[Hoosier Red]

I thought his offensive numbers recovered from miserable to awful in the high minors. In the early going he couldn't hit anything and Princeton kept trying to make him a pitcher.

Nevermind, I misremembered. His numbers went from okay to miserable as he progressed.

He had an .830 OPS in A Ball but it had fallen to .666 in AAA Lville.

[TheNext44]

NM

[Brutus]

To me, this offense is not that bad with everyone healthy and hitting like they're capable. Next season, I still maintain they will be OK. I'd like to see an upgrade at short (be it moving BP over, J.J. Hardy, or whoever), but Janish has acquitted himself well recently.

Eh, I could live with that if we had decent hitting CF and some combo of Bruce, Gomes, Balentin and Dickerson playing based on matchups

[TheNext44]

Another 1-2-3 inning for Lehr, through the heart of the order no less.

Braun - 3
Fielder - 9
McGehee 6

Reds 6-4 after 5

[Brutus]

And Gomes keeps the Reds' hit parade alive

His hot streak has netted him a .614 ops for the month of August, including today.

[BRM]

Lehr is at 83 pitches through 5.

[TheNext44]

Gomes singles, Tatum flies to center

1 one, 1 out

[Brutus]

His hot streak has netted him a .614 ops for the month of August, including today.

I'm not saying he's produced, but I'm suggesting he is showing signs of coming around offensively a bit more. I realize his limitations. He's not going to hit .300 and he's not going to slug .500. But he is looking more comfortable at the plate recently.

[KoryMac5]

No matter how well this offense does down the stretch this team still needs someone else to help out the middle of the order. Don't fool yourself.

[TheNext44]

Lehr with a nice bunt to get Gomes over to second

runner on second, two out

[VR]

that has been the case....but I'd like to see him against LA or StL's staff 1st. Milwaukee has thrown some duds out there against them......that everyone is hitting hard.

[Strikes Out Looking]

I am going way back in time--but I'd be happy with a Cesar Geronimo career from him both offensively and defensively. And Geronimo's minor league numbers were in the words of Larry David "pretty pretty bad."

[TheNext44]

Stubbs with a nice soft liner to center for a RBI

Gomes scores, Stubbs takes second.

runner on second two outs, one in

[VR]

Has Stubbs been taught the steal sign yet?

[Doc. Scott]

Stubbs smacks a two-out RBI single to center, then goes to second on the throw! 7-4 now.

[HokieRed]

No matter how this game turns out, I'm startin to really like this team again. They've been a whole lot more fun to watch since Stubbs, Janish, and especially, of course, Rolen have been part of the lineup (and frankly, Lehr and Wells part of the staff.)

[KoryMac5]

Nice piece of hitting by Stubbs. Looks like he has shortened his swing a bit since he first came up.

[Doc. Scott]

Janish swings through two under-90mph fastballs in the zone to make his first out of the day.

7-4 Reds after 5.5. Lehr for at least one more inning.

[TheNext44]

I am going way back in time--but I'd be happy with a Cesar Geronimo career from him both offensively and defensively. And Geronimo's minor league numbers were in the words of Larry David "pretty pretty bad."

I did not go back nearly that far, but I agree. Reds fans would be very pleased and blessed if Janish had half the career Geronimo had.

[Brutus]

that has been the case....but I'd like to see him against LA or StL's staff 1st. Milwaukee has thrown some duds out there against them......that everyone is hitting hard.

True, but these Reds weren't hitting those duds previously :thumbup:

[TheNext44]

Lehr K's Cameron

1 out

[VR]

True, but these Reds weren't hitting those duds previously :thumbup:

exactly. A whole bunch of 3yr/12M contracts are about to be offerred to our new murderer's row.

[KoryMac5]

Lehr doesn't want to turn into a pumpkin just yet.

[VR]

Lehr doesn't want to turn into a pumpkin just yet.

Indeed, incredible turnaround for him today against a pretty tough lineup.

[CarolinaRedleg]

So are we seeing the dreaded "Dead Cat Bounce" in full effect right about now?

[TheNext44]

Riveria K's

Catalanotto lines to Votto

another 1-2-3 inning for Lehr.

Reds 7-4 after 6

[Hoosier Red]

10 in a row retired by Lehr if I'm reading correctly.

[HeatherC1212]

Nice job by Lehr to settle down after the rough start to the game. :)

[Hoosier Red]

VOTTOMATIC IS BACK!
:jump:

[TheNext44]

Votto homers to left.

Can you believe some idiot posters were complaining about Votto not hitting the ball well earlier? :confused:

[Brutus]

Votto homers to left.

Can you believe some idiot posters were complaining about Votto not hitting the ball well earlier? :confused:

They were using reverse psychology, I'm sure.

[TheNext44]

Escobar snags a linedrive from Phillips. Saves a double

[LincolnparkRed]

Votto homers to left.

Can you believe some idiot posters were complaining about Votto not hitting the ball well earlier? :confused:

No worries, I think it is easy to get down on this team. it is hard to stay positive about much after the lost decade

[HeatherC1212]

*Heather's fantasy team smiles again* :jump:

TheNext44-Nice job on the reverse psychology. Why haven't you been doing this with the whole team?! ;) :eek:

[TheNext44]

BTW, Narveson in for the Brewers

Votto homers
Phillips lines out to SS
Rolen K's looking
Balantein 6-3

Reds 8-4 after 6.5

[Chip R]

Has Stubbs been taught the steal sign yet?


Willy T hasn't been taught it yet so why should Stubbs?

[Tom Servo]

So are we seeing the dreaded "Dead Cat Bounce" in full effect right about now?
Took long enough, but I'm still enjoying it.

[TheNext44]

Lehr makes a nice play on a bunt by Escobar

1 out

[TheNext44]

Lopez doubles into the rightfield gap

runner on second 1 out

[KoryMac5]

Willy T hasn't been taught it yet so why should Stubbs?

Leads me to believe that Dusty has a tight leash on his base stealers.

[TheNext44]

Gerut pops up to RF

runner on second, two out

[VR]

I'm hoping the pen is ready.

[TheNext44]

Oh-oh. Burton warming up.

[TheNext44]

Braun out 6-3

Another nice inning from Lehr

Reds 8-4 after 7

[VR]

Willy T hasn't been taught it yet so why should Stubbs?

They're still trying to teach him the 'get to 1st base' sign

[TheNext44]

Gomes K's

1 out

[TheNext44]

Tatum lines hard the 3rd base line. 5-3

2 out

Lehr hits for himself

[BRM]

Leads me to believe that Dusty has a tight leash on his base stealers.

The overall lack of baserunners in general may have something to do with it.

[TheNext44]

Lehr grounds out 5-3

Reds 8-4 after 7.5

[BRM]

The top three in the order have reached base 8 times combined. It's amazing how much better an offense functions when the top 2-3 guys are getting on base.

[HokieRed]

Not sure I'm liking Lehr coming out again, but that's Dusty.

[BRM]

Lehr is at 107 pitches. McDonald replaces Gomes in LF.

[TheNext44]

Lehr K's Fielder for his 6th K of the day.

1 out

[durl]

Last week's averages:

2.5 Runs/Game, 7 Hits/Game, Record: 1-5

This week's averages (including today's game so far...):

6 Runs/Game, 11 Hits/Game, Record: Looking like it'll be 4-0.

You expect a guy like Rolen to improve the numbers but we've also got guys like Corky Miller and Janish contributing, as well. Odd stuff.

[TheNext44]

McGehee K's for his 7th K.

2 out

[BRM]

Justin Lehr = Staff Ace

[TheNext44]

Cameron with a monster shot to the second deck in center.

two out, one in

Reds 8-5

[KoryMac5]

Justin Lehr laughs at the thought of being taken out of the game.

[Hoosier Red]

Lehr does CoCo a solid and makes it a 3 run game.

[BRM]

And of course I jinxed him.

[durl]

...and Dusty left Lehr in just a TAD too long.

[BRM]

Burton in to protect the 3 run lead.

[KoryMac5]

Mike Cameron obviously thought it was funny too.

[Hoosier Red]

If GameCast is to be believed, it was pretty good pitch Cameron ripped.

Inside line of the strikezone, lower third(though barely)

[Hoosier Red]

By the way simple pleasures on GameCast, following along batter by batter, than catching up on the current guy and realizing that your pitcher struck out Prince Fielder just a split second before it appears on the play by play.

It went something like...Okay 1st pitch strike, 2nd pitch fouled, 3rd pitch ball, fourth pitch ball, fifth pitch strike, but wait a minute that means he struck him out. Nice!

[BRM]

Stubbs K's.

[BRM]

Janish flies out to LF. 2 outs.

[VR]

Burton has had a pretty good August....4 runs came in 2 of his 9 outings.

9 1/3 ip

[BRM]

Votto with his 3rd hit of the day. Single to center.

[BRM]

Phillips pops to SS on the first pitch. 8-5 Reds going to the bottom of the 9th.

Hes throwing harder now then he was for most of the season.

[HeatherC1212]

*Heather's fantasy team smiles* :D

At the rate things are going, Jay Bruce is going to be taking the lineup cards out to the field for the rest of the season, LOL :laugh:

[VR]

Hes throwing harder now then he was for most of the season.

Next year let's tell him to start doing that on day 1. :thumbup:

[VR]

Craig Counsell has a higher OPS than BP. Would he hit cleanup for us?

[BRM]

Cordero walks Counsell.

[durl]

Craig Counsell has a higher OPS than BP. Would he hit cleanup for us?

He's too slow. Dusty would bat him 7th.

[KoryMac5]

Votto's hand must be stinging from Janish's throws.

[KoryMac5]

2 outs in the 9th game thread posters on their feet.

[HeatherC1212]

*stands up* :D

[durl]

Don't do this, Coco....

[KoryMac5]

Braun coming to the plate with 2 on and 2 out. Make it exciting CoCo.

[KoryMac5]

Reds win and the streak remains alive!

[traderumor]

Woo Hoo Braun whiffs. Sweep of the Brew Crew.

[durl]

I never thought the Reds would win 4 in a row again this season. Wow.

[KoryMac5]

Love the Brewer announcers: Does Cordero dare throw Braun the slider?

[BRM]

A sweep? I just fell out of my chair...

[HeatherC1212]

YAY! I finally get to be IN the game thread when the guys beat the Brewers, LOL :laugh:

Good job guys! :jump:

[HokieRed]

Burton has had a pretty good August....4 runs came in 2 of his 9 outings.

The tough question on Burton is going to be whether to keep him at what he'll cost. If he can pitch like this, or as well as his best last year, then he's probably worth offering arb. I've no doubt he'll pitch well again; the issue's going to be the cost. We can hope he pitches so well the rest of the way that the decision's easy. We could have some real power arms next year in Coco, Masset, Fisher, and Burton. Add Rhodes, Danny, and one other and that part of the team would be strong and essentially in place.
