June 7, 201115 yr I found this pic of Gomes.I'm not sure what year this is from but I never would have guessed it was Gomes.
June 7, 201115 yr Keep pumping year long stats out. They had a really good record 18 games ago. They've scored 4 runs or less 12 of the last 18 games. I never said pitching wasn't an issue, but their issue is they haven't been healthy all year and their supposed ace wasn't good. They have 4 good every day players offensively and their catchers collectively are productive for that position, but not great offensively. One of their 4 good players has more strikeouts and swings and misses than anyone else in MLB. Nothing to see here. Move along... SSC is right. The pitching has been terrible lately but this "so called" great offense has been just as bad over the last 3 weeks. If you want stats look at these. These are the numbers over the last 21 days. Other than Bruce and Votto what jumps out at you? 2 guys can't carry the team. Overall they have 18 HRs and 85 RBIs in that period. C Hernandez .256 2 HRs 6 RBIs C Hanigan .162 0 HRs 7 RBIs IB Votto .324 3 HRs 15 RBIs 2B Phillips .240 0 HRs 8 RBIs 3B Rolen .209 0 HRS 6 RBIs SS Janish .185 0 HRs 5 RBIs SS Renteria .178 0 HRs 0 RBIs OF Bruce .375 9 HRs 23 RBIs OF Stubbs .231 1 HR 5 RBIs OF Gomes .182 1 HR 3 RBIs OF Lewis .213 0 HRs 2 RBIs Of Hesiey .316 0 HRs 5 RBIs
June 7, 201115 yr I found this pic of Gomes.I'm not sure what year this is from but I never would have guessed it was Gomes. Looks like his rookie year or close to it...He was in contention for Rookie of the Year I believe...
June 7, 201115 yr Thanks for the report. 80 pitches at 4 2/3 sounds like he's pitching behind in the count a lot. Yeah early he walked 2 in the first, but also struck out the side in the same inning...I don't think they need him yet but next time we do need to grab a Starter from AAA it needs to be Willis, not Reineke or Thompson or anyone else...Hopefully EV will get back to business, Cueto and Leake have been dealing hopefully Volquez will join them...Willis should be given a chance should Wood keep struggling unless of course Homer comes back soon...
June 7, 201115 yr I didn't see Leake hit over 90 on the gun tonight but he did a wonderful job. He hit 91 once but not really a big deal as long as he's dealing...
June 7, 201115 yr Stubbs CF Phillips 2B Votto 1B Bruce RF Gomes LF Cairo 3B Hernandez C Janish SS Volquez P Again, why are Renteria and Rolen not DL'ed? Nothing like being 2 short on the bench for 3-4 straight days.
June 7, 201115 yr Maybe the little stint @ Louisville was just what Volquez needed to remind him that only the privileged best get to play in the "Bigs". I like the dreadless look also, that shows me that he maybe has had a change of attitude as well.
June 7, 201115 yr Alright if Campana is running that far inside the baseline why did the home plate ump not call him for runner interference or would he only do that if they didn't get him out?
June 7, 201115 yr Stubbs CF Phillips 2B Votto 1B Bruce RF Gomes LF Cairo 3B Hernandez C Janish SS Volquez P Again, why are Renteria and Rolen not DL'ed? Nothing like being 2 short on the bench for 3-4 straight days. Especially Renteria, he hasn't played in forever. Rolen has strep throat and shouldn't be out that long.
June 7, 201115 yr Alright if Campana is running that far inside the baseline why did the home plate ump not call him for runner interference or would he only do that if they didn't get him out? Probably the latter.
June 8, 201115 yr The Triple A team from Illinois doesnt put up much of a fight against our Reds. This team needs all the easy W's they can get right now.
