August 15, 201214 yr He would be my 3rd too; many people that I talk to believe that Bailey is. The more I think about it, I would almost say "it depends" actually. If they're facing a team like the Giants (Cain, Lincecum, Bumgarner, Vogelsong) Bailey may be the better option because the chances of the Reds scoring many runs is very slim. Arroyo is great for keeping his team in a lot of games, but when you're going against a guy that can blank ya (like the Giants have a lot of) Bailey may be the best option. He has the stuff and ability to completely shut a team down, where as Bronson, even at his best, is likely to give up 2-3 runs. :idunno:

The reason I am more sold on Arroyo right now is due to how he has played as of late along with having more experience and his numbers on the road.
August 15, 201214 yr Bailey is more likely to be famine than feast. I'll take the whiffleball pitcher.
August 15, 201214 yr THERE IS ONE WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING. Yes it clear that you aren't a Bruce hater. We all see that, move along now, nothing to see here.
August 15, 201214 yr Yes it clear that you aren't a Bruce hater. We all see that, move along now, nothing to see here. I can't move along just yet. I'm trying to find something positive in YOUR post about Bruce. I just sit back and read these posts and every once in a while I have to respond because somebody wants me to respond, right ekubum, HAMMER? Should I move along and find the batting numbers of a certain individule, or would the truth hurt your feelings. There hasn't been much to see "there" in a long time, or since last night. :lol:
August 15, 201214 yr ^The batting #'s like 1st on the team in HR's? Or 1st on the team in RBI? Or on pace for career highs in HRs and RBI? Those kinda numbers? :lol:

Should have moved him at the deadline. 25 year old that has increased his HR and RBI totals for the last 4 years and on pace for 5 straight years. His BA isn't great but if he drives in runs that is all I care about. See Adam Dunn.
August 15, 201214 yr He's the newest version of Adam Dunn. He will have solid numbers with the exception of batting avg. yet there will be days at a time that you think you have 2 pitchers in your batting order.

August 15, 201214 yr Bruce wouldn't let him walk him. Bruce is awful right now. At least the Reds get their worst hitter to the plate this inning. Bruce didn't get to the plate last inning. You're letting Bruce hit right? If he could bunt I would say bunt but we know he can't do it very well. You have to bunt Bruce. He can't bunt but he can't hit either. Good news is, it's hard to hit into two when you don't make contact. Then send up Cueto. That's just terrible managing. What did you expect? Agree. Not a chance he does it. No freakin' way. Bruce sucks... I figured you would go in hiding for a few days after your whipping boy saved the day. From these posts he is a lot of peoples whipping boy ! :banana:

Was he an usher? :lol: Dunn was so good he got traded by the Reds, now your comparing Bruce to him? :lol: You see where this is going, right?
August 15, 201214 yr From these posts he is a lot of peoples whipping boy ! :banana: Actually I was taking a direct shot at you... :idunno:
