Sad thing is this stat is still better than anyone else on the roster vs. anyone.

I just got back from the game. It was tight. Volquez was awesome. He was hitting 95 in the 7th. I know he threw 117 pitches, but most were strikes and he was throwing easy. Before you hit up Dusty on abusing the youngsters, I don't think there's anything to worry about there.

JOEY-JOEY-JOEY!

Volquez is flat nasty! Too bad we couldnt get 4 of those runs from today for Aaron Harang once in a while.

The best thing about today is seeing Jon Lieber finally get lit up by the Reds! That bastard has posterized us for the better part of a decade! Hah, the jokes on you now Lieber, you're going in the Cubs record book. :chompy:

Figures the day I forget we are playing a day game they go and pull one of these. Oh well, I have the technology to catch the replay. :biggrin:

BTW, box score says BP left the game with a leg injury, anything serious?

It didn't look like it. He tweaked something going down to first. He stayed in for the next batter who made the 3rd out and then they replaced him on D. Probably a day-to-day deal.

I don't know, I'm having my doubts. I mean he still needs one more start of not allowing more than 1 ER and to tie Mike Norris with 8 for the most consecutive to start a season.:sleep2:

Team officials said BP's injury is a bruised calf (lower leg). He should be ok with stretching and a little ice I'm guessing. Day-to-day sounds about right Muck.

Johnny Cueto really needs a quality start to help his psyche out and the Reds to win multiple days in a row. Keep the bats humming and we dont need perfect pitching, too bad thats not overall likely.

Good for Joey Votto. The kid is a superstar, he just doesnt know it.

Reds position player NL rank by OPS (min 80 TPA's) as of games played 5/7/08:


1B Votto .945 5th
2b Phillips .807 4th
3b Encarnacion .851 6th
SS Keppinger .728 9th
C Bako .927 3rd

Like we didn't already know it but the short answer to our offensive woes; it aint the fucking infield.

Outfield isn't sorted by position, its just lumped as OF so obviously the rank is out of about 50 where as the others are out of 16.

OF Dunn .805 21st
OF Griffey JR .695 34th
I won't even bother with the 3 headed CF monster.

Bottom line is we should be able to afford Patterson(or any all glove no hit guy) in CF if our corner OF's were doing what they are supposed to be doing.

The suckitude of the OF offense combined with Dustys insistence on deploying them the worst way possible is the main thing killing this offense imo.
