Cincinnati Reds at Pittsburgh Pirates, Sep 23, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
|
|
|
If Homer Bailey keeps pitching like he has for the past month, he should drop his ERA under 5.00 for the season, which would make him the 4th starter with 15 or more starts on the Reds this year to do that. Not a big feat, but a feat nonetheless.
Despite his seasonal numbers, Kevin Hart has handled the Reds pretty well this year. He has a 3.27 ERA in 2 prior starts, striking out 8 while walking 4 and allowing 11 hits in 11 innings pitched. As you'd expect, his only win this season in the big leagues came against the Reds.
The Pirates have lost 21 of their last 24 games. The Reds have won 19 of their last 29. Those are both trends that I'd like to see continue for at least 2 more games.

There are no guarantees that Bruce is the starter next year
according to Dusty. I imagine this is just motivational talk more than anything. Unfortunately, I don’t think motivation is Bruce’s problem. I think it’s coaching.
Definitely a good argument.
by Slyde on Sep 23, 2009 5:54 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
that's not to say that the coaches are the reason he struggles
rather, the coaches should be there to help him figure it out. I don’t get the impression that they are.
Definitely a good argument.

There's really no one to take his place
Bruce is 22 and still has the best potential of anyone in the running for an outfield spot. As Fay mentions, he was on pace for 35 HRs until he go injured. He obviously needs to prove he can hit lefties and get on base, but it’s absurd to think that McD, Nix or even Wlad or Dickerson could take his spot. Dusty really seems to have a hands-off approach, talking about “how he looks” next year and not anything concrete that’s going to be done about his struggles. This makes me think – like you say- that the coaching staff isn’t going to be any help.

I wouldn't go that far. I agree that it's probably mostly motivational
If you think about it, it’s a little absurd to say in September that the job is his next April after the year he’s had and with all the OFers in the mix.
Having said that, if the front office really thinks that anyone else should/will be in RF next season, I’m beating Slyde to the punch and quitting this team.

You can't "say" it necessarily
but it’s true. When you consider Bruce’s defense in RF, his age and minor league performance, there’s no other conclusion. In my mind, it’s pretty nailed shut – moreso than Stubbs in CF. This doesn’t mean Bruce keeps his job while hitting .220/.280/.450, but there’s no excuse not to fix his swing and have him be at least a league average RF next year. Anything short of that is inexcusable. Wlad and C-Dick are quality players, but Bruce, with his high ceiling, provides this teams best chance for a dark horse season. If managers have any meaningful impact on team performance, this is it.

yeah,
what bothers me is the “Stubbs has CF on lockdown” and Bruce doesn’t have RF. Either there’s open competition or not, but the comparison of the two doesn’t make sense.

I think Heisey
deserves his shot if Bruce’s troubles become chronic, but I wonder how he fits in. I can’t help but think someone gets packaged in a trade this winter. They’ve got too many guys caught between AAA and the majors – players still under control and capable of being regulars, but with no definitive claim to their spot. Dickerson, Stubbs and Wlad all fit into this category and Juan Francisco and Chris Heisey could be breaking down the door by mid-season next year.

I agree
The Reds have a roster crunch approaching. Players are going to have to be traded or non-tendered. Valaika, Heisey, Wood, and others have to be added to the roster or exposed to the Rule 5 draft. They can’t keep everyone.

What I find even more interesting about that posting
is that Dusty doesn’t mention SS as a position of competition for next year. Wonder if that means they’ve given the job to Janish or if Walt’s got a deal in mind.
Or, it could just be Dusty not thinking before he speaks…..shocking thought.

Yeah, that's daft
It should be painfully obvious who is in your OF, even if you don’t know who the starters are gonna be. SS is clearly the biggest question mark, along with the #5 rotation spot. Your current starter has been last man off the bench for most of the season and there’s no depth in the minors. But this is the guy who bats his worst hitters 1,2.

Next Season is the Season of the Bruce
Dusty of course would rather have Mcfluffy or C-Dick in the line up
Truly now..those are his kind of players, speedy, don’t K much and have a lot of heart.
However Jay will rise to the fore next season and become a star. count on it.

Having someone do it more sensibly would probably be a
two game swing at most. The overriding problem is that the Reds have a SS slanging a toothpick. I love the guy, but he . That said, I’d love to see Hanigan in there. Votto has consistently batted behind the 3 or four of the worst OBPs in the lineup.

this ridiculous comment because it shows how much of the Big Blue Koolaid you’ve drank.
Example in point Samardo Samuels USA Today PLayer of the year, what did he do last year against the big east? Lose playing time to Jennings. Wall might be a great player someday, heck he’s probably at least an average SEC player…..but he’s still a freshman.

My argument is simple – there is no way you can predict how the freshman will do. NO WAY. I’m not saying they’re not going to be good, they will be. But both of you are fucking insane if you’re already looking to raise a banner. And for the record, right here right now I’ll take UL on 01/02/2010 minus 4.5 points.

Apparently
In Japan, they don’t show ads during MLB.TV games. Instead, they stick with the broadcasters. So you see them scarfing down food during commercial breaks, etc.
And you hear them fighting sometimes. One guy told me he once heard Brantley bitch out a colleague for interrupting him while he was talking. He didn’t remember who the guy was, but he defended himself by saying, “I just thought the fans might want to know what was going on in the game.”

Dusty Baker - innovator
"These are tumultuous times indeed for baseball celebrations, which seem to be getting more elaborate by the day. It was 1977 when Dusty Baker hit his 30th home run of the season and was greeted at the plate by Dodger teammate Glenn Burke with his arm upraised. The two slapped hands — the first known use of the “high five” in pro sports. From that humble beginning has evolved the low five, the forearm bash, the fist bump, the chest bump, and various other permutations of bodily contact in the name of celebration."
Definitely a good argument.
