Titanic Struggle Recap

by Chad Dotson on July 28th, 2010 in 2010 Reds, Titanic Struggle Recap

Let’s recap today’s titanic struggle….

FINAL
Cincinnati 10
Milwaukee 2
WP: Wood (1-1)
LP: Narveson (8-7)
BOX SCORE

POSITIVES
–Brandon Phillips went 2-4 from the leadoff spot and hit a grand slam to put the game out of reach. Phillips is heating up again. National League: you have been warned.

–Joey Votto had three more hits, including his 26th homer. His numbers are other-wordly for a 26-year old: .322/.423/.599.

–Miguel Cairo was 2-4 with 2 RBI and a walk. The beat goes on for this guy. (His defense was bad again, but I have no complaints, since he continues to hit well.) Cairo also scored on a beautiful suicide squeeze performed by Ryan Hanigan.

–Travis Wood picked up his first major league win, going 5 innings, throwing 82 pitches, and giving up two runs on five hits. Wood was very sharp except for a short sequence in the fourth inning.

–Jay Bruce had two hits and a beautiful catch that saved a run when the Reds were already down 2-0. Hopefully, he’ll start to emerge from this slump.

–The bullpen was great yesterday. Today, it was an almost entirely different cast of characters — CoCo, Nick Masset, Arthur Rhodes, and Jordan Smith — but they were equally good. The pen has been great lately.

NEGATIVES
–None.

NOT-SO-RANDOM THOUGHTS
–22 runs and 32 hits in less than 24 hours? More, please.

–Reds finished the road trip 4-2, they won another series, and Cincinnati is back to 11 games over .500. They’ll stay in first place, and with St. Louis scoring 6 in the first tonight, it appears that it will remain a tie.

–I just don’t see any way the Reds can justify sending Travis Wood back to the minors when everyone gets healthy. If ever there were a good example of someone getting an opportunity and seizing it, it’s Wood in 2010.

–Funny moment in the third. Wood had just struck out his fourth batter in a row, and he and Hanigan started walking to the dugout. One problem: there were only two outs in the inning. Oops.

–Dusty Baker used Mike Leake to pinch hit in the eighth. Okay, Leake is a good hitter. Problem was, Paul Janish was still available.

We have joked about how much Dusty hates Janish, but this was a huge slap in the face to a major league baseball player. Here’s Dusty’s explanation; make of it what you will:

“We were kind of short of people today,” Baker explained. “We tried to stay away from Scotty after his big day yesterday. He was sore. We didn’t want to use Ramon because he caught about 150 pitches yesterday. He was a little sore. I had to save Janish because Cabrera injured his shoulder a little bit on that slide into third. I took a chance of bringing Nix in early. I couldn’t afford to use anybody else and I didn’t think they’d walk him.”

–Funny that Travis Wood earned a win after going only five innings, when he couldn’t get a win earlier in the season despite taking a perfect game into the ninth.

–That’s a good game to take into an off-day. Let’s enjoy it.

Joey Votto

Game Thread: Reds at Milwaukee — 2010.07.28

by Chad Dotson on July 28th, 2010 in 2010 Reds, Game Thread

Reds look to win an afternoon affair today, and a victory is especially important for a couple of reasons. First, a win ensures yet another series victory for Cincinnati, and that’s what this team is trying to do. In addition, a win means the Reds would return home after a 4-2 road trip. I’ll take that every time.

Travis Wood takes on Chris Narveson. I like our chances. Go Redlegs.

This Day in Reds History: Wild One in Wrigley

by Steve Price on July 28th, 2010 in Big Red Machine, Reds - General, Reds History

July 28, 1977: In a game featuring 11 home runs, a record-tying five in the first inning, the Reds blow four different leads in losing an 13-inning game to the Chicago Cubs, 16-15, at Wrigley Field.

The Reds struck first with a vengeance, slugging three first inning home runs off Cubs pitcher Ray Burris to score six runs. Pete Rose led off the game with a home run over the right center field wall, and Ken Griffey and Joe Morgan followed with singles. George Foster struck out, but Johnny Bench followed with a three run-homer. Cesar Geronimo lined out to left field, but Dave Concepcion reached on infield single. Mike Lum followed with the third home run of the top of the first inning giving the Reds a 6-0 lead.

But, remember, we’re playing in Chicago’s Wrigley Field, and hey, what’s six runs, especially if the wind is blowing out as it was on this day? The Reds started Dale Murray in his first and only start of his 12-year, 518 game major league career. Murray had been acquired from the Montreal Expos along with veteran starter Woodie Fryman in the offseason trade that sent Tony Perez to the Expos. Through Murray’s first 39 games with the Reds he had produced a 4.68 ERA and Fryman had temporarily retired (he was 5-5 with a 5.38 ERA in 12 starts with the Reds) to go home and farm in Kentucky (Fryman unretired at season’s end to be traded and pitch six more seasons).

Ivan DeJesus led off the Cubs’ first with a double and Larry Biittner drew a walk. Bill Bucker then slugged his third home run of the year to cut the Reds’ lead in half, 6-3. Bobby Murcer made it 6-4 with a solo home run before Murray retired the next three batters in order.

Down on the Farm

by Chris Wilson on July 28th, 2010 in Down on the Farm, Minors

Minor League Players of the Day: Danny Hernandez (AZL Reds) 5-5, 4 singles, homerun, 3 runs scored, 1 RBI and Wladimir Balentien (Louisville) 3-5, 2 singles, homerun, 2 runs scored, 5 RBI

AAA
Louisville 19 – Charlotte 6
I guess the big league team and the AAA club got the memo to score a ton of runs and get a ton of hits on Tuesday night. While the Reds scored 12 runs on 19 hits, they were outdone by the Bats who scored 19 runs on 22 hits. Wladimir Balentien, Chris Dickerson, Danny Dorn, and Chris Valaika each homered for the Bats. Yonder Alonso had 4 hits to lead the team in hits for the game. Balentien, Todd Frazier, and Zack Cozart each had 3 hits. Dickerson, Juan Francisco, Valaika, and Wilken Castillo had 2 hits each. Each of the guys mentioned here with the exception of Dorn scored at least 2 runs. Francisco and Frazier led the way in that category with 3 runs scored each.

On the pitching side, Jason Isringhausen allowed a run on a hit and 2 walks in .2 innings pitched. Russ Springer retired the only batter he faced on a strikeout. Aroldis Chapman pitched a scoreless inning of relief, striking out 1 and allowing a hit. Daniel Ray Herrera pitched a perfect inning, striking out 2. Jared Burton also pitched a scoreless inning, lowering his ERA to 2.40.

AA
The Mudcats had a scheduled off-day on Tuesday.

High A
Lynchburg 9 – Frederick 3
Kyle Day went 3-5 with 2 singles, a double, 2 runs scored and an RBI while Shane Carlson went 2-4 with 2 singles and 2 runs batted in.

Chase Ware improved to 4-3 overall on the season with the win. Ware allowed 2 runs 6 hits and 2 walks while striking out 4 over 5 innings pitched.

A
The Dragons had a schedule off-day on Tuesday.

Rookie
Billings 9 – Casper 0; final 5 innings (completed early)
I assume weather rolled in that caused this game to be cut short after 5 innings. Billy Hamilton went 2-3 with a run scored, RBI, and his 15th stolen base of the season. Jefry Sierra was a perfect 2-2 at the plate, scoring a run and driving in a run.

Tanner Robles improved to 2-0 on the season with the complete game shutout. Robles allowed 3 hits and a walk while striking out 5.

AZL Reds 14 – AZL Brewers 0
It was a good day to be playing the Brewers. The AZL Reds scored 14 runs on 20 hits. As mentioned in the POTD, Hernandez was a perfect 5-5 at the plate and hit his 2nd homerun of the season. David Vidal hit his 5th homer of the season in a 3-5 game. Vidal scored twice and drove in 2 RBI. Stephen Hunt and Samuel Diaz went 3-5. Hunt drove in 2 RBI and scored a run while Diaz doubled, scored twice, and drove in 2 runs.

Jonathon Correa pitched 6 scoreless innings, allowing 3 hits and a walk while striking out 7. He improved to 4-2 on the season with the win. Doug Salinas pitched 2 perfect innings of relief, striking out 3.

Titanic Struggle Recap

by Chad Dotson on July 27th, 2010 in 2010 Reds, Titanic Struggle Recap

Let’s recap tonight’s titanic struggle….

FINAL
Cincinnati 12
Milwaukee 4
WP: Ondrusek (2-0)
LP: Gallardo (9-5)
BOX SCORE

POSITIVES
–Twelve runs on nineteen hits. More of that, please.

–Logan Ondrusek was the star, as far as I’m concerned. This was a shaky game because of Edinson Volquez’s wildness, despite the Reds lead, until Ondrusek came in and shut down the Brewers over two and a third innings. No runs, no hits, one walk, three strikeouts. Great outing.

–Three Reds had four hits tonight — when’s the last time that happened? Brandon Phillips, Joey Votto, and Scott Rolen did the trick tonight. BP had two doubles and two RBI, Joey Votto scored three runs, and Scott Rolen drove in three.

–Outstanding work by the other Reds relievers: Bill Bray, Jordan Smith, and Carlos Fisher. Those guys combined with Ondrusek to shut out the Brewers on three hits.

–Ramon Hernandez had two doubles and three RBI; Orlando Cabrera had three hits.

NEGATIVES
–I love all the runs, but that was a brutal game to watch in some ways. It lasted about six hours, and the pitchers threw over 700 pitches. Or so it seemed.

–Edinson Volquez was not sharp…again. Three and a third innings, four runs on six hits, three strikeouts and four walks. The road back from surgery is going to be rocky sometimes; today wasn’t a day that Volquez will remember fondly.

NOT-SO-RANDOM THOUGHTS
–Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? Reds are back in a tie for first place in the NL Central.

–Ondrusek hasn’t given up a run in 17 2/3 innings. Wow.

–Amazingly, the Reds scored all those runs without hitting a homer. Also amazing that they beat up on Yovani Gallardo, who is a pretty good pitcher.

Scott Rolen

Joey Votto

Game Thread: Reds at Milwaukee — 2010.07.27

by Chad Dotson on July 27th, 2010 in 2010 Reds, Game Thread

I have high hopes for tonight’s pitching matchup: Edinson Volquez vs. Yovani Gallardo. With the way the Reds offense has been trending, we’re going to need a good outing from Edinson. (Hopefully, this game thread will get posted on time tonight.)

I like the fact that Scott Rolen kept from getting hurt or sick in the last 24 hours; it’s good to see him back in the lineup (which is below the fold). Here’s your game preview. Go Redlegs.

Phillips 4
Cabrera 6
Votto 3
Rolen 5
Gomes 7
Bruce 9
Stubbs 8
Hernandez 2
Volquez 1

The Eyes (and Ears) of the World Are On Orlando Cabrera

by Chris Garber on July 27th, 2010 in 2010 Reds

We’ve mentioned this before, but the Reds are doing very well in the TV and radio ratings this year. According to a story in the latest Sports Business Journal (free for now, but it may go into a pay archive soon), the Reds rank fourth in the MLB with a 6.2 average rating on FSN-Ohio. This means that on the average night, 6.2% of households in the FSN-Ohio viewing area are watching the Reds. That’s a 49.4% increase over last year. The Reds trail only the Cardinals, Twins, and Phillies.

Now, because the FSN-Ohio viewing area is small, that only adds up to 59,897 households, which ranks somewhere near 20th in raw numbers. But you can hardly blame the Reds for that.

On the radio front, the Reds are 10th in raw numbers, with an average of 116,000 people tuning in every night. That list pretty much tracks market size, with the Reds, Cards, and Twins serving as small-market upstarts. When it comes to the main target demographics, men age 25-54, the Reds rank first in all of baseball.

This won’t have any real effect this season, but should help the Reds earn more the next time TV and radio rights come up for negotiation. In the short term, it can be taken as a sign that Cincinnati may actually still be the baseball town it’s always been hyped to be.

Reds have “chips”

by Bill Lack on July 27th, 2010 in 2010 Reds

According to John Fay:

To pull off a trade, the Reds are probably going to have to give up of their top prospects. You’ve got to think the young players on the big league roster — Jay Bruce, Mike Leake, Travis Wood, Drew Stubbs and Chris Heisey — are untouchable.

Here’s a half dozen names at the next level who could be attractive chips in a deal:

–INF/OF Todd Frazier: He’s come on at Louisville after a horrible start. He didn’t break .200 until June. His best positions are probably third and first. Those are obviously blocked for the next two years. He’s playing mostly left right now.

–1B Yonder Alonso: He is up to .268/.317/.408 after a poor start at Louisville. He didn’t show enough speed to play left. First base/DH are his only spots. The Reds don’t use a DH and Joey Votto’s not going anywhere.

–3B Juan Francisco: Great power. 15 home runs in 244 at-bats. Strikes out a lot and rarely walks. He’s also a third baseman and that is Scott Rolen’s spot.

–C Devin Mesoraco: The Reds probably have him on the untouchable list after the year he’s had so far. A catcher with power is rare commodity these days.

–LHP Matt Maloney: Given the depth of the young pitching, it’s going to be hard for him to break into the rotation. Some teams would probably be willing to take a chance with him as fifth starter.

–RHP Sam LeCure: Similar to Maloney. He’s behind Edinson Volquez, Johnny Cueto, Travis Wood, Mike Leake and Homer Bailey on the starter depth chart.

Anyone on this list untouchable to you? How many of them would you be willing to give up for the right guy? What is the right guy? OF bat? SS that can leadoff? Bullpen help? Does the “right guy” exist?

This Day in Reds History: 1 Pitch, 3 Outs, 1 Win

by Steve Price on July 27th, 2010 in Reds - General, Reds History

July 27, 1930–Reds pitcher Ken Ash records three outs in one of the most unusual ways in big league history and picks up the win with only one pitch in a 6-5 Reds victory over the Chicago Cubs.

From “Redleg Journal” (written by Greg Rhodes and John Snyder):

Ash took the mound in relief of Larry Benton with none out in the sixth inning, Cubs baserunners Hack Wilson on third and Danny Taylor on first, and the Reds trailing, 3-2. On Ash’s first pitch, Charlie Grimm hit a routine grounder to second baseman Hod Ford. Wilson broke for the plate, but Ford caught Wilson breaking for home and the Cub baserunner was retired in a rundown between third baseman Tony Cuccinello and catcher Clyde Sukeforth. Grimm tried to reach second during the rundown, only to find his teammate Taylor still on the bag. Grimm quickly retreated to first base, and was out on a toss from Sukeforth to first baseman Joe Stripp. Taylor tried to advance to third during the Grimm putout, but was retired on a Stripp-to-Cuccinello throw to complete the unusual 4-5-2-3-5 triple play. Ash was lifted for a pinch hitter in the bottom of the sixth, as the Reds scored four times and held on for a 6-5 win.

Ash was pretty much the ninth pitcher on a Reds ten-man pitching staff that preferred to use eight pitchers. He had joined the Reds in 1929 and appeared in 29 games (seven starts), going 1-5 with a 4.83 ERA in 82 innings. His workload was cut back in 1930 and he finished the season 2-0 with a 3.43 ERA in 16 games (1 start) and 39 innings. He was the mop up guy out of the bullpen, finishing 12 of the 16 games he pitched in 1930, and 17 of the 29 in 1929. His one pitch winning performance came in only his seventh appearance of the year in the Reds’ 93rd game of the 1930 season. Ash’s career mark was 6-8 with a 4.96 ERA. Ash had a substantial minor league career. In his 14 minor league seasons, Ash was 176-153. He had 13 double digit victory seasons, winning 18 twice.

Down on the Farm

by Chris Wilson on July 27th, 2010 in Down on the Farm, Minors

Minor League Player of the Day: Chris Richburg (Lynchburg) 3-5, 2 singles, homerun, 1 run, 2 RBI

AAA

The game between Louisville and Gwinnett was rained out. Since it was their last meeting of the year, the game will not be rescheduled.

Montgomery 11 – Carolina 4

Devin Mesoraco went 2-4 with a run scored and a walk. On the season with Carolina, Devin is batting .301/.356/.601 with 10 homeruns and 22 RBI in 143 at-bats. On the season with Lynchburg and Carolina, Devin is batting .319/.387/.611 with 20 homeruns and 53 RBI.

Tom Cochran allowed 8 runs in the 2nd inning, but only 2 were earned. Cochran only lasted 2 innings, surrendering 6 hits, 1 walk, 3 homeruns, while striking out 1. His record dropped to 7-5. Bradley Boxberger did little to stop the bleeding as he allowed 3 runs on 2 hits and 2 walks in 1.1 innings pitched. Boxberger has allowed at least 1 run in his last 9 appearances (maybe longer but milb.com only shows his last 9 appearances.)

High A

Lynchburg 7 – Frederick 4

Richburg hit his 1st homerun of the season with Lynchburg (15th overall) and was joined by Neftali Soto (15th), Denis Phipps (7th), and Shane Carlson (2nd) in the homerun column. Soto led the team with 3 RBI in the game.

James Avery improved to 6-3 on the season with the win. Avery allowed 4 runs on 7 hits and 2 walks in 6.1 innings pitched. Donnie Joseph struck out the side in the 9th for his 11th save with the Hillcats. Over 2 levels this season, Joseph has recorded 85 strikeouts in 48.2 innings pitched.

Quad City 5 – Dayton 0

On rehab assignment, Homer Bailey allowed 3 runs on 4 hits and a walk in 4 innings pitched. He struck out 5.

The Dragons offense did not show up as they managed only 3 hits in the game.

Rookie

Billings 7 – Casper 6

Yorman Rodriguez, Oliver Santos, and Jefry Sierra went 2-4 with a run scored. Rodriguez had an RBI, Santos had 2 RBI and a double, while Sierra tacked on an RBI as well.

Daniel Wofford struck out 4 and walked just 1 batter in 2 innings of relief to record his 2nd save of the season.

AZL Brewers 5 – AZL Reds 3

Kurtis Muller was a perfect 4-4 at the plate with 4 singles and a run scored. David Vidal had a walk and 2 singles in 4 at-bats. He also drove in 2 RBI. Samuel Diaz was also 2-4 with 2 singles.

Titanic Struggle Recap

by Chad Dotson on July 26th, 2010 in 2010 Reds, Titanic Struggle Recap

Let’s recap tonight’s titanic struggle….

FINAL
Cincinnati 2
Houston 3
WP: Villanueva (1-0)
LP: Arroyo (10-6)
S: Axford (15)
BOX SCORE

POSITIVES
–Out of Cincinnati’s pathetic total of six hits, Jonny Gomes had three in four ABs.

–Bronson Arroyo pitched very well, going 8 innings, allowing three runs on three hits. He struck out 6 and walked one. He made two bad pitches. Unfortunately, those two bad pitches traveled about 1000 combined feet before landing.

–Ryan Hanigan had a clutch hit that scored two runs. He’s an RBI machine.

NEGATIVES
–Laynce Nix doubled in the ninth, bringing the go-ahead run to the plate. He promptly made a terrible baserunning blunder. Ugh.

NOT-SO-RANDOM THOUGHTS
–This was a game the Reds should have won. Very disappointing.

–Jim Edmonds hit what turned out to be the game-winning homer. I really despise Jim Edmonds.

–Scott Rolen returned to the lineup after missing nine games.

–Nice matchup tomorrow: Edinson Volquez vs. Yovani Gallardo.

Game Thread: Reds at Milwaukee — 2010.07.26

by Chad Dotson on July 26th, 2010 in 2010 Reds, Game Thread

I don’t know why, but every time the Reds go to Milwaukee, I’m tempted to post this. I’m going to give into that temptation today:

Wayne Campbell: So, do you come to Milwaukee often?

Alice Cooper: Well, I’m a regular visitor here, but Milwaukee has certainly had its share of visitors. The French missionaries and explorers began visiting here in the late 16th century.

Pete: Hey, isn’t “Milwaukee” an Indian name?

Alice Cooper: Yes, Pete, it is. In fact , it’s pronounced “mill-e-wah-que” which is Algonquin for “the good land.”

Wayne Campbell: I was not aware of that.

Anyway, the Reds and Brewers are going to get it on tonight at Miller Park. Bronson Arroyo is scheduled to pitch for the good guys; Randy Wolf will take the mound for Milwaukee. Scott Rolen is back in the lineup, for those of you who were wondering (also, the worst OBP in the lineup is batting first again).

If you aren’t going to the game, you may want to stop by my house for my son’s birthday party. He turned six today, and we’re celebrating with a Toy Story party. Good times.

Here’s your game preview. Go Redlegs.

If I’m Walt Jocketty…

by Chris Garber on July 26th, 2010 in 2010 Reds

(Bumped…because I want Walt Jocketty to see this.)

… I’m on the phone to Jerry DiPoto right now. DiPoto, you may have noticed, is the Diamondbacks’ interim GM. Over the weekend, he traded Dan Haren, a most excellent pitcher (having a superficially bad year, but pitching well), signed to a reasonable contract for the next two seasons, in return for the mediocre Joe Saunders and the proverbial handful of magic beans.

Walt obviously could’ve put together a package similar to what the D-Backs got. We don’t have anyone exactly like Saunders, but talent-wise the prospect package would look something vaguely like: Matt Maloney, Carlos Fisher, Brad Boxberger, and an additional young arm. (That package is a little light, but Saunders also makes $4M).

DiPoto may not be entirely to blame (the D-Backs owner is nuts), but in his press conference, he cited not only Saunders’ W-L record, but his “postseason experience” (15 IP, 5.40 ERA – but the D-Backs aren’t going to play in a post-season game anyway). Most incredibly, DiPoto touted the minor league W-L of one of the prospects. Yeah, that’s relevant.

So, why should Jocketty be on the phone with Jerry DiPoto? Because if the D-Backs are trading Dan Haren for nothing, it means they’re probably also willing to trade shortstop Stephen Drew, a 27-year-old under team control for a couple more years. Drew’s not an exceptional upgrade over Orlando Cabrera right now, but the team doesn’t have a SS under contract for next year (it does have one bat boy who can play there, but that’s a different story).
