JBandJoeyV Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I figure we can let the regular season thread go, even though it brought us many joyous moments and our first playoff season in 15 years. Maybe someone should nominate it for the GB HOF? And ill leave the Fuck Philly thread for bashing on the phillies. But this will be the thread to talk about the game and matchups and lineups and stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBandJoeyV Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Pitching matchups Game 1 Wednesday 5:07 in Philadelphia Edinson Volquez vs Roy Halladay Game 2 Friday 6:07 in Philadelphia Bronson Arroyo vs Roy Oswalt Game 3 Sunday TBD in Cincinnati Cole Hamels vs Johnny Cueto Really doesnt seem like we are overmatched in too many of those games, just kinda depends how everyone pitches. Game 1 is huge in my opinion, need Edinson to be in top form and we have a chance. Hopefully can score 3-4 runs on halladay and volquez can limit them to 1-2 runs over 7 innings or so.

cincybengalz Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I'm coming out to Cincy as long as I can find out the damn time for the game on Sunday. I don't want to drive 10 hours to see two half games. I sure hope we get the later game on Sunday. What's the chances of them moving the Bengals game? If I recall correctly, didn't they do that in 1990 for the Bengals-Falcons game because the Reds were in the WS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys suggest for Bengals tickets... buy them now directly or just wait til the prices come down on stubhub on like Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Phillies are playing some great, great, ball. They're without a doubt the best team in the NL. Great pitching, great hitting, and some great defense. Hopefully we can shock the world and start playing the best ball of the season when it counts. Hope we can get some great outings from all 3 of our guys and some great relief out of Wood and Aroldis. Very excited for tomorrow night and also the future.

JBandJoeyV Posted October 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 I read an interesting article on Fangraphs about strategy for the series especially with volquez. The writer essentially said that Dusty should tell Volquez he is only gonna bat once unless we put a bunch of runs on the board, so pretty much tell him he is pitching 5 innings max. Let Volquez use maximum effort on every pitch without having to worry about saving themselves for the later innings. We have a very deep bullpen and we have a schedule that allows us to give our guys a lot of rest since we dont play back to back games till sunday/monday. I kinda like the strategy if Volquez does max effort for 5 innings and can pitch 5 scoreless innings or maybe gives up 1 run, I think we easily have the bullpen strength to finish the last 4 innings. Use a combo of Bray/Ondrusek/Wood for the 6th inning and Chapman/Rhodes/Masset/Cordero for 7-9. If Volquez knows he doesnt have to go deep into the game maybe he will pitch better and more dominanting for the 5 innings he will pitch. Just an idea I read which I thought was a pretty good thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincybengalz Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 The one good thing you have going for you in game one is Volquez. To echo the sentiments of the MLB network crew, the Phillies batters suck against pitchers they are not familiar with. Their plate discipline goes out the window and they tend to take less pitches. You would think they would want to do some scouting but they tend to go opposite. So you might see this kid go deep into the game vs. giving him the hook early. The only way I see him getting the early hook is if they pound him. Plus Dusty loves a starting pitcher to death (of his arm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think trying to pitch with "maximum effort" might have a similar result. I'd rather see him do what Cueto did and back off a little and have better control.

JBandJoeyV Posted October 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Francisco gets the last roster spot, no Edmonds Posted by jfay October 6th, 2010, 10:40 am Juan Francisco is on the playoff roster, not Jim Edmonds. Edmonds hit yesterday in the cages and ran lightly. The Reds waited until this morning to make the call. That’s a big blow to the Reds. Francisco is a big talent with great power. But he is a free swinger — not the type to give you a quality at-bat in a late-inning, pinch-hitting situation. I will not have an update on Edmonds until about 2:30. There is a possibility he could be added if the Reds made it to the next round. Here is the roster: The pitchers: Edinson Volquez, Bronson Arroyo, Johnny Cueto, Francisco Cordero, Arthur Rhodes, Nick Masset, Aroldis Chapman, Logan Ondrusek, Bill Bray, Homer Bailey and Travis Wood. The positions player: Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips, Orlando Cabrera, Scott Rolen, Jay Bruce, Drew Stubbs, Jonny Gomes, Ramon Hernandez, Ryan Hanigan, Chris Heisey, Laynce Nix, Miguel Cairo, Paul Janish and Francisco.
