Derg and Gomez 1-3

I thought we were going to waste bases loaded, no outs.

reds announcer
was pointing out “mechanical flaw” in Gorzo, saying it would make it hard to get his pitches down and make them slow breaking. Granted, Chavez was pretty concerned and not only gestured at his shoulder but talked to him during the first two at bats. Funny that he proceeded to sit down the Reds…the announcer sure stop talking about how easy it is to hit his pitches.

It's early out here
so I just noticed PBC already has scored 3 runs. Phew.
Also confused why Moss (the team’s best hitter lately) is sitting down.
Nice to see Pearce though — and he’s already contributed,
It’s good for my blood pressure to see the Bucs pound Fogg in the first inning — even a AAAA lineup should crush him.
Any chance the ML can just let the PBC play its next 20 games against the Reds? Just asking.
hahahahah
Yeah, I don’t see what it’s hurting. The announcer even sounded pleased to sweep San Fran, that’s how bad it’s getting…

Gomez
looks like a seventh-grade science teacher to me.
anyone else have mlb.tv
is it acting up?
Jason

the reds announcers
are criticizing the pirates for playing fogg with the outfield so far in. Lets see he is hitting .095 this year. That’s his fourth double…of his CAREER. .117 career hitter, i’ll play him in too.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
4 IP
looks like a good over-under for Gorzo and his 88 mph fastballs too
wow
that was pretty amazing. Ball (apparently) barely caromed off the foul wall before bouncing out of Pearce’s mitt, then he grabbed with his bare hand in the air
Jason
The Hanging Curve
oh man that's good
fogg hurt himself tagging up, he might be done.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
how many cheap hits have they gotten the last two days?
Seems like a million.
that's
embarrasing…votto swung and missed at three straight 89-90mph fastballs
Jason
The Hanging Curve
I can't believe it's just 5-2
That inning took forever.
i'm guessing
they pinch hit gorzo to spare him the game blowing up in his face?
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Hope so!
I’ve remarked that JR seems much more willing to pull a SP in the last few days now that he so many extra spare parts in the bullpen (not that he’s actually using any of the newer guys, except for Capps).
guess with nothing going
he will let Gorzewalky have one more chance…short leash I imagine.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Some guys just can't stand success
Gorzo so wants to lose this game. His pitch count is actually higher than Fogg’s.
only one run
but 30 pitches that inning
Jason
The Hanging Curve
i believe this is called
wildly effective
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Just got in
from Long Island (via Baltimore & Columbus, OH)….what’d I miss?
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. -- HST
Gorzo is terrible
but so are the Reds.
We started fast but can’t get anything else going. Ramirez, I believe, 26-YO Sept callup in the reds bullpen has great changeup.
Jason
The Hanging Curve
oh yeah
and Fogg fogged up his groin by tagging up on a sac fly that wasn’t even really close
Jason
The Hanging Curve
looks like
We hit Fogg pretty good, but they’ve been pecking away ever since…

In play {runs) leading off the inning

yeah if I was running gameday
I could’ve posted HR in about 0.2 seconds
Jason

We're
gonna give ’em back in the bottom half?

We’ve got
Yates (lead gone)
Bautista (never know)
Hansen (lead gone)
Grabow (usually good)
TJ Beam (i guess it’s the reds)
Jason

nate
did what i’ve been used to from the other side lately—-a soul-crushing, late-inning, go-ahead homie after picking and clawing back to a tie game.
Jason

and now
hansen is doing just what he always does
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Oh my.
Walk and infield single to pitcher

Operation Shutdown Version 2.0
Can JR just let Hansen sit the rest of September? He makes Josh Fogg look good.
You Have To Question Russell ...
even bringing in Hansen to start the inning. The man cannot throw strikes.
i guess at this point
Does winning/losing matter? Is evaluation worth more than a game?
Jason

it had BETTER be

What more is there to learn this year
about Hansen? The ERA over 8.00 is pretty much says it all.
Maybe Hansen can pitch in late innings where the team is behind by double digits. Bringing him in in the 8th where there is a one run lead is insane.
reds announcers talking about how they executed "fundamental baseball"
no….hansen just handed them some runs on a platter
Jason
The Hanging Curve
Good going JR!!
Way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Guess I don’t have to post now that I thought JR wouldn’t pitch Capps 3 days in a row.
Russell Has Been Hitting The Cooler Alot Lately
Do you think he has his own personal cooler?
What’s in it?
Maybe a liile TJ “Jim” Beam?
*Now* JR decides to manage
What a move — bringing in Nyjer to PH for Luigi. Damn — that’s some fine game management skills being displayed there. Let’s make sure we don’t let Luigi have a chance to continue some clutch hitting he’s shown the last 2 games.
(See THCurve’s post above about this being time for evaluation. What he said.)
tantilizing
moss on for the clutch situation
Jason

Managing up a storm
Is this 5 PH in a row??
Wish JR had put 1% of this effort into picking pitchers in the bottom of the 8th.
nope
moss was double-switched earlier
