  1. Pence out 4-6 weeks, you still want to predict 1/3? 0/3, we get swept.
  2. bill brasky once tore both his labrums then pitched a perfect game well it's not fair since he did it while kicking the ball from the mound. with his left foot.
  3. I could see LA, but San Diego? I don't feel too great about seeing Peavy and Young 4 times. i don't feel great about it, but their pathetic offense is also going to make our pitching look better. what i meant by stack up better in the playoffs was that we would probably be better in the playoffs against them than in the regular season when we have no influence on who gets to start against who.
  4. i said world series loss, so i must have some strong kool-aid (actually it's diet coke). I think we fare a lot better against teams like San Diego and LA in the playoffs, assuming Rich Hill can settle down in the second half. Our 3-4 man rotation stacks up pretty well against most teams, if I had to bet.
  5. 3/3 from StL 2/3 from CIN 1/4 from PHI 2/3 from NYM 1/3 from HOU 3/4 from COL 12-8
  6. that describes just about every pitcher in the game except for the top tier elite. even chris young wasn't amazing for his first 5 starts. though he hasn't had a bad start in weeks.
  7. nope, i definitely remember that too. he went oppo, too. one of them was on ESPN, the other was on ESPN2. I remember flipping back and forth.
  8. Well, he's not a relief pitcher, so I definitely don't think the Reds will want him. I don't know about Minny. judging by some of the players they've employed or been low on, i don't think they'd really appreciate his skillset. On the other hand, he's cheap talent which probably would fit into their plans.
  9. It will be interesting to see if the Reds involve Hatteberg into the deal. Salty has been playing 1st base for the Braves, so this way they get a SP and a 1st baseman. I think I would ask for another prospect if Hatteberg was added into the deal, though. Maybe a lower level pitcher. You think the reds should ask for another prospect from the braves?!?!? Arroyo has been absolutely brutul up until late. Hes signed to a fair contract, I don't see the point in trading for him when they can probably go out and find a guy like him in the FA market for the same pricetag. As somebody who watches just about every Reds game, him struggling had more to do with Narron then it did Arroyo. He's been pitching MUCH better since Narron got canned. While (as I acknowledged) he has pitched better lately, can you explain how Narron was the cause? I could be wrong, but I thought his turn around started before Narron was gone. June 29th was when Arroyo started his string of good starts, July 2nd was when Narron was fired. well, he had good starts while narron was there, he's been far more consistent since narron was fired though. whether that's the cause or not...I don't know. but i wouldn't point to one start to prove much of anything in this case. he had a similar 6 start stretch earlier this year.
  10. How exactly do you go about replacing Hill? He's a top 20-40 starter in the game under team control for the forseeable future. Wow, that is a bold statement. I think that that this is wildly untrue but I would be happy to listen to you prove it. among pitchers with 100 IP: ranks 31st in ERA 30th in K/BB 16th in K/9 13th in WHIP 16th in OBP against 31st in SLG against 25th in OPS against
  11. yeah, but my guess certainly wasn't rhiab insulting vance's parental abilities.
  12. suprised to see lee that high. where did you get that list? Lee? Hell, take a look at Tulo :shock: i think he had two times this season where he hit a go ahead or game tying home run in the 9th inning only to have his team blow it. looking at his gamelog, he had a stretch of 3 games where he hit a game-tying 2-R HR in the 9th, game-tying 3-R HR in the 9th (Cubs), and a go-ahead solo HR in the 11th, only to have his team lose all three games. Forgive my ignorance - what's WPA? it's short for Win Probability Average. It's not really meaningful in the long run, in that it's not predictive at all. It's a stat designed to try and place a number on each individual play and it's effect on the outcome of the game. So a home run late would count more than a home run early. if you're still confused, this explains it better than i can: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Win_probability_added
  13. Maybe he was hanging around Floyd too much? Don't get me wrong both with great avg., but the power outage is weird. and derrek lee and aramis ramirez and, to a lesser extent, alfonso soriano. all are below their pre-established power norms. i guess you could include jacque jones, but he's sucked in all facets so far this year.
  14. jim tracy has a semi-[expletive] baboon fill out his lineup card for him doesn't that work better than jim tracy filling out the lineup?
  15. suprised to see lee that high. where did you get that list? Lee?

  16. meph and i had a very entertaining conversation one night. omar and aramis fan im me from time to time when i'm actually online. other than that: no. i'm not usually signed on anyway. MSN is much better.
  17. to be fair to reds44, "destined to" and "has the upside to" are vastly different things.
  18. Pagan and Gwynn are both fairly valueless commodities. as much talent as weeks may or may not have, i can't imagine his value is terribly high after the wrist surgey and subsequent lack of production.
  19. going back to 2004, Ichiro was the only one. Jeter came close last year.
  20. Mark Reynolds you're my hero
