Iknow I am not an administrator or anything, but I like the wrapup thread so I am posting one tonight. The Reds seemed to have found some offense just in time for the bullpen to fail. I seem to remember games like this last season; one componet of the team would catastrophicaly fail everynight. ...why his velocity was down. I don't understand why hepitced the6th, since hispitch countand location were up and his velocity was down, but what do I know Ionly where a Wriststrong braclet, and not very often. It seems like Harang has had a few starts affected by illness. He had the flu when he started on Opening Day 2006, and I remember reading about sinus infections and what not throwing offhis game. Maybe Harang needs to drink more Orange Juice. Griffey hit his 595th home run tonight. I have tickets for the May 18th Indians game; could I see home run #600? I hope not, hopefully he will have already have passed 600 home runs by that time. I seem to remember him stalling at around 498 home runs in 2004 and getting to 500 was a real struggle for him. I saw him hit 497 and 498 at an Expos Reds game at the end of May and he didn't reach 500 until Father's Day. Our old friend Dempters pitched rather poorly for Chicago, 6 IP, 5 H, 4 R's all earned, 5 BB and 3 K's. From an old school perspective he wasn't very good because he gave up 4 ER's in 6 innings. From a sabrametric perspective he wasn't very good becuse he he walked a little less than one man per inning, and two more walks than K's, and had a game WHIP of 1.67. He was probably lucky that he only gave up four runs. I thought it was strange that Chicago moved Dempster to the closers role 3 years ago. He seemed like that his best niche would be as an innings eater. Before he came to Cincinnati he consistantly put up 200 innings a season, he had one or two good seaons, but he seemed like a hard throwing middle to low rotation kind of guy. I don't think he was fit for the closers role becaue he walks too many hitters. I want to feel reasonably sure that my closer, or any key relief pitcher for that matter, is going to come in and throw strikes. I am guessing he won't have the arm strength to stick as a starting pitcher, especially with the way that Lou uses his pitchers (Am I the only one who thinks it is strange that part of Dusty's problem was that he ruined Prior and Wood and hissuccessorrides starting pitchers just as hard as he did?)
