PrintIt'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.

Paul Janish
needs to become our head hunter the opposing team needs to know that when Janish comes you need to step away for the plate
Homer is gonna start thinking
That if he pitches a horrible game he gets a W… otherwise he gets a ND
isnt that how it usually goes around here

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…
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.

Hmmmm ...
I may have to try that when I come down in 2 weeks. That sounds delightful.

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.

Heading out for a while, but I will highlight the positive
1) Homer only made one mistake and that was not getting rid of Werth
2) Votto’s hit streak continues
3)we have enough attractive players on this team to keep even bad games mildly interesting (to make this a Hollywood ready team, we’d need to get Bako back)—I’m relaly reachin’ here, this is part of my self-designed anger management therapy
…side note, I don’t think Votto should shave because it will keeep the hit streak going
Whoa Oscar Mayer died
95. No one had him.

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.

Holliday? SRSLY?
No. Just. No.
"I'm going to become rich and famous after I invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet"
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?

Perhaps a stint in Louisville with a coach who isn't Brook Jacoby is all he needs.
"Sir, can you please put your pants back on?"
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.
"Sir, can you please put your pants back on?"
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?
Don't trust this man.

did you spot Homer a mile away too?
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
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.
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?
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
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
