Bout time!

Hopefully he can fix one of the Reds bullpen problems.

At least they are bringing him up against a weak hitting roster in a big park... :lol:

[Sportz Addict]

Not even a month ago everyone was saying this was an insane move. What a difference a day makes!

The irony is the thread title says it all...

Is he up as a starter?

So someone needs to start a poll here on the board:

 

How does the savior do in his first start.

 

Leaves before the third having given up 5 plus runs, takes the loss.

Pitches 5 innings, gets a no decision, gives up 2-3 runs.

pitches 6-7 innings, gets the win, gives up 1-2 runs.

pitches a perfect game, no hitter and it's considered the greatest debut in the history of professional baseball. lol

 

If he has control early, he will get through the lineup at least once. The second time around would be the fun part. However if he comes out and walks people, we are going to see Santos VERY quickly.

Apparently it's not all about the option clock beginning to tick, I would love to attend his first start but that Cleveland series is probably close to being a sell out already. Here's to a long, prosperous career for Homer, it's about time they actually harvested a home grown talent.

[Habib]

Hopefully he pitches Friday so I can watch it.

The day has finally come.

They called him up just in time to have to pitch against the VARSITY league. I think this ends badly-----for this year.
