Game 83 Thread: Part 2

He ain't pretty when he pitches, but he sure looks good doing it.

He ain't pretty when he pitches, but he sure looks good doing it.

It's a shame that Homer still won't get the win since he pitched so well.  This offense sure seems to hate every one of the starters this year.  Tie ballgame in the bottom of the 7th.

Re: Masset

Don’t you think he could still end up being a decent starter? Perhaps dominant?

His ST numbers as a starter indicate what? Not as much as his numbers during the season…

by mdccclxix on Jul 8, 2009 9:23 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

It is much harder to be a starter than reliever

somebody like Masset, who can just go all out is better suited in relief, I think.

his velo is 94-96 as a reliever

may not be as high as a starter if he has to go 100 pitches.

he could be a badass reliever for a while too

and I’ll take him in that role over being a mediocre starter. If this team was desperate for starters, then maybe, but not right now.

Bruce needs to go on a spiritual retreat

His season has gone from a potential teaching moment – though I’m pretty sure no teaching is taking place – to the kind of dispiriting futility that could take months to recover from. I’m sick of watching him learn how to hit a baseball.

Homer took his lumps and went down to the farm to work on his game. Bruce should too.

Douchebag Coke gives up a HR to Mauer in the next AB.

I guess it doesn’t just happen to Homer Bailey.

I'd trade Jay Bruce straight up for Holiday right now.

I don’t care if Bruce is only 22. I’m tired of watching his weak at-bats. Supportive Jay Bruce fans cite his age, his cannon of an arm, etc…….and say he will improve. I don’t see it. Opponents got the book on Jay and he hasn’t been able to adjust. Ugly. Trade him while he’s still considered a phenom.

You can do a lot batter than a half-year rental with Holliday, for Jay Bruce.

Jay, whether you like him or not, is worth much more than a half season of Holliday.

Yes, but they wouldn't. His price tag is too much for a team already

bogged down by Cordero, Tavares and several other stupid contracts. Bruce’s contract is peanuts compared to that.

No. Just. No.

I'm not sure how we go from struggling at the major league level

to giving up on him all together. Seriously, shouldn’t we send him to the minors first? I know it’s hard to believe, but struggling players do get better quite often.

It worked for Bailey.........

…..I’m just tired of watching Jay be an offensive liability. Some humble pie might be just what he needs. But I’ve seen no adjustments at the plate from April through July. Same approach. Opponents have been pitching him the same way all season and he still makes no adjustments. Send him down………..Bailey was in my doghouse too……….but I gotta give him props now. His entire approach has changed for the better……….unlike Jay’s.

if indeed you are so skilled at evaluating talent

then why the hell are you wasting your time telling us about it?

I know you don't like the age argument, but I think it's valid here.

He’s doing what worked well for him all through the minors, and now he’s here struggling and can’t adjust, and there is no one around who can competently assist him in getting himself fixed.

I'll admit alot of it is just frustration.

But usually you can see a guy making adjustments and trying something new. I don’t see that with Jay. I hope he finds his swing. I agree that a stint in Louisville and some humble pie might be the answer. Although I don’t think triple AAA pitchers will pitch him the way the major league clubs do…………so, it might be a wasted opportunity other than helping him regain his confidence. Rosales struggled at the major league level and went back down and continues to crush triple AAA pitching. Just goes to show the difference.

The age argument is valid

Bruce is just working out the ugly kinks in front of a lot of people

Can’t Votto be hiscoach instead of Jacoby?

Management has handled Homer differently than Jay

Thus, they are getting results from Homer now. And for the record……..Homer learning the splitter has made him a completely different pitcher. Everything before the splitter wasn’t exactly pretty, as justified by his 6.00+ major league e.r.a. in 18 starts before learning the splitter.

by Dude Rock on Jul 8, 2009 10:56 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

so, what you are saying is that Homer, over three years, has learned to be a better pitcher

but in the 3 months of this season, Jay is a failure who should be dumped while he still has value?

What I'm saying is this.....

Homer, pre-splitter………was not getting the job done at the major league level either. That is a fact justified by his 6.00+ e.r.a. in 18 major league starts. He goes down to triple AAA, and makes a career changing decision to add a splitter fastball which allowed him to lower his triple AAA e.r.a. by 2 whole runs (from about 4.50 to 2.50).

Jay Bruce has made no adjustments. No improvements since his hot start last year. This isn’t just one season. He came up last June and other than his hot start has been somewhat miserable at the plate. Do you disagree? Maybe there is some magical swing Jay can come up with comparable to learning a splitter fastball (sarcasm).

Homer is hitting 96-97, that helps.

that took time. i’d say Bruce deserves as much.

Ugh, I don’t know if I can wait until 2011.

Jay's got nothing to prove in AAA

having said that I would not be opposed to sending him down just to get some renewed success under his belt, to get his timing back and maybe for a bit of a wake up call. Besides I’ve always wanted Wily Taveris in RF
