May 25, 201214 yr Is Bailey becoming the pitcher we've been waiting on for a few years? 7 out of 9 quality starts. That's what I was alluding to in my earlier post. I certainly hope he is.
May 25, 201214 yr Maybe 6,7,and eight. save #9 for Mr. Bruce until he learns how to adjust his swing. Votto at least can work a walk when his hitting is off , same as the others. If you are this upset after a 6 game winning streak I wonder how you react after a losing streak.

May 25, 201214 yr Ok, official end of series congrats now. Glad we don't see you again until next year. BGP is more hospitable for us when they're not matched up.
May 25, 201214 yr Update. The Reds have won 6 in a row. Johnny Bench and Tony Perez had numerous slumps thru out their HOF career. Jay Bruce and HOF in the same sentence, I just sprayed my cool-aid all over my key board .Jay is 26 years old , he has plenty of time to screw that up, looks like he's off to a good start. Bench and Perez figured out how to come out of thier slumps ,Bruce hasn't yet. Maybe over the winter, he can find a batting coach and cage to work it out .

We've been very hospital to all you Braves fans. You have to give SVFan credit. He knew it would be a slump, he just had the teams mixed up.

The only person to put Jay Bruce and HOF in the same sentence is you...(and now me.)
May 25, 201214 yr There's only 1 Jay Bruce on the Reds. He can't bat 8th and 9th. He could bat 7th ,8th and 9th, if that was the case , right now he would be 3 for 93 and still bitching at the umps. :banana:

If a HOF can go into a big slump, it only makes sense that a player like Bruce can. Keep watching, and reading the post in here. Hopefully you'll catch on one of these years.

Hopefully you'll catch on one of these years. I've caught on already. since your into stats , show me where Bench or Perez had a 1 for 31 slump.
May 25, 201214 yr Tough crowd. Not a tough crowd, I just think that players in the major leagues should know how to adjust thier swings by now. Even rookies are hitting grand slams.
