Missouri does not allow students and teachers to be “facebook friends”.
Nothing succeeds like failure.
If i become a teacher, it would be my policy to not be facebook friends with students
but they say they are doing it in part to try to keep districts from “passing the trash”, where a teacher quietly resigns for inappropriate contact with a student, and gets hired by another district.
I feel like that generally a teacher resigns in that situation due to acquisitions, and if those are acquisitions are made some sort of investigation should happen, and the state board of education should get involved, and if the acquisitions are true, the teacher loses his teaching certificate.
This seems like a lazy fix.

I will go on record here and say
I still believe in Homer Bailey. The Cueto evolution may not happen next season, but it’s coming. 2013, I’d say.
Wear something sexy to my funeral.
I hope so.
But if it takes him 7 years as a pro to break out and the Reds stick with him as a starter that long, more power to ’em.
Tequila and pancakes, anyone?
by Kevin Mitchell is Batman on Aug 2, 2011 9:52 PM EDT up reply actions
I believe in him too, actually
but he’s not repeating his finish very well, noticed it last game too.
its been a problem of his for awhile though
his “breakout” was due to his working on cleaning up his mechanics with his old coach, and you could clearly see a difference between them and his awful dick pole induced teachings. Still looks like a work in progress though, I’m actually kind of impressed he has as much control as he does.
Shame the Reds were so terrible and pitching strapped in 2007
He did not belong in the big leagues, then.
Although I also wonder if repeated failure at the big leagues was important for his development, since he is such a cocky bastard.
Nothing succeeds like failure.
he is a completely different pitcher now than he was in 2007.
He walked a ton of batters, even in AAA in 2007 and 2008. I think he realized he needed more than just a good fastball.
Nothing succeeds like failure.
When it comes to pitching, I usually agree with you

The leg lift was was a problem, as well as the stride
but those two issues were coach effectively. Now the issue is location and health. I believe the latter is not as drastic as many here suppose and the former comes with desire and experience. The only thing I don’t know about him is if he really gives a shit.
Wear something sexy to my funeral.
Everything I have read about him says he is really competitive, and hates to come out of games, which tells me he gives a shit.
and if he gets through next year without missing serious time due to a shoulder injury, his health will be no more concerning than other pitchers. 3 month+ DL stints with a shoulder issue in 2 years is a bit of a red flag.
Nothing succeeds like failure.
That's fair. It is.
But my suspicion about a couple of those DL stints were precautionary. If he weren’t so valuable, he’d be thrown to the wolves. So, in short, I thing the shoulder issues are overblown.

Unfortunately we aren’t the Reds medical staff, so we don’t know what his shoulder looks like.

He's gangly and awkward and kind of not athletic.
He’ll never be aesthetically pleasing from a delivery point of view. But the skill is there, just beyond the horizon.

It has been interesting watching the evolution of Bailey, Cueto, and Volquez
Bailey was the brightest star of them all, and due to injuries and ineffectiveness we still don’t know what we have, and has shown the least of those three.
Volquez came on with a flash, got hurt, and sucked.
Cueto had a couple of mediocre years, a decent year last year, and is now taking off.
I like watching them mature, it makes it easier to enjoy the Reds. I remember watching this guys coming up through the minors (except Volquez), and struggle as young major leaguers.
Nothing succeeds like failure.
I think you're confused.
2008 was Volquez’s rookie year.

I mostly don't like what he does with his plant leg and his right leg after/while hes throwing the pitch
sometimes his right leg looks like its dragging, sometimes he bends his plant leg, sometimes he balances on it. it just looks inconsistent to me, which will toy some with your control. Mostly because it could affect the hip turn part.
See above.

by Pops Daniels on Aug 2, 2011 10:05 PM EDT up reply actions
And mostly from experience.
A shoulder issue shows itself early, generally. Addressing it the way the Reds have is quite smart and possibly career saving. It has little to do with arm slot and motion and more to do with maintenance, and awareness. Don’t change the pitcher you fell in love with, change the way you condition his arm.

i know nothing about it biomechanics
but my fear is that there is something wrong with his rotator cuff and/or labrum, and it is slowly degenerating, and he is pitching as long as it lets him.
Again it is fear without evidence.
Nothing succeeds like failure.
He might be able to give you just 20 starts a year
And you’d have to wonder whether he’s better off relieving.
or my fear may be unfounded
if i were the reds and if he had those shoulder issues, i would do what is best for prolonging him.
Relieving isn’t always easy either, Smoltz moved back to the rotation because he had trouble pitching everyday.
Nothing succeeds like failure.
I thought it was because he was still so awesome that he could be a really good starter still
rather than a dominant reliever

I mean wait, I don't know about it being 2004

relieving is no less stressful on the arm than starting.

yep
throwing 60 pitches over three days can be as tough as throwing 120 pitches in a day.
Nothing succeeds like failure.
I disagree
but I don’t think that’s a crazy opinion or anything
expectations are premeditated resentments - cheshirecat
i think it depends on the arm
Some arms may break down when having to pitch 70 games a year, but can make 30 starts.
Yet other arms can’t handle 200 IP but can pitch 70 times.
Nothing succeeds like failure.
I think it's because of the way they're conditioned more than some inherent difference
but I could be wrong
expectations are premeditated resentments - cheshirecat
Exactly correct.
I don’t think Homer is cut out for the bullpen. But, if you think a guy with a sketchy shoulder should get up and throw multiple pitches every few days would benefit from that, then so be it.

by Pops Daniels on Aug 2, 2011 11:34 PM EDT up reply actions
yep
Most good relievers are pitchers who failed at starting somewhere along the line. Cordero, Masset, Ondrsuke, Chapman, Arredondo, LeCure, Jordan Smith, Carlos Fisher, all made professional starts some where along the line.
Just at some point they failed to do what they needed to do to stay in the rotation. There aren’t too many pitchers who didn’t start at some point in the minors.

Someone in an earlier thread suggested moving him to bullpen
Which I agree with. I was at last years playoff game and still remember when Bailey came in and threw two scoreless innings. It completely changed the energy of the game.
by LyotardFactory on Aug 2, 2011 9:59 PM EDT up reply actions
I would only move him to the bullpen if his arm can't handle the work load as a starter
if he hurts his shoulder again this year or next, it is bullpen time. Otherwise leave him in the rotation.
Nothing succeeds like failure.
Agreed
with the caveat that we don’t find a superior pitcher to take his place in the meantime

i gotta think right now, the rotation lines up at Arroyo (contract forces him to stay in the rotation), Cueto, Bailey, Leake. The 5th spot is really still up for grabs.

hope for a good first half for Bronson and maybe, just maybe, they can eat most of his contract and trade him to a shitty small-market team with a huge ball park that’s contending (SDP, SEA) and call Chapman up to finish the season.

The trick is maybe in the gender of the word

El rosario is the rosary
No matter how smart you think you are, to some folks, it's just educated grunting.
I thought it meant "rosary"
A lot of Spanish names, especially women’s names, are versions of Mary’s name. So many girls are named Maria that to differentiate them, you have “Mary of the Rosary,” “Mary of the Sorrows,” etc. Hence “Rosario” is a girl’s name even though it sounds like a boy’s name, and you have girls named “Dolores,” meaning sorrows, though it seems like an odd name to give your child.

While it was nice that Renteria got lucky and hit a GS…his squib double the other nite to win the game and now this HR could have devastating effects when Cozart returns, Dusty better be playing Zach and not some washed up old fart,
