Bailey is supposed to be working on his control, so Im guessing we see Belisle up first as long as he healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Bunghole| Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Replying to the thread title "Early Test of '08", I'd say so far they get an F on their early test. Two of our SP's are garbage (Fogg, Arroyo), we have some suspect pitching in the pen (Coffey, Weathers) and we can't hit a goddamn softball right now. Ugh.

JBandJoeyV Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 By the way I love how everyone is all down on the reds now that we hit a little rough spot. Can you guys give it at least month before claiming the reds suck. 2 weeks ago everyone had "reds fever" now everyone wants to quit on them. There have been 16 games this season, we arent even 1/10th done with the season, give it some time before claiming the reds suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scales Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 What cho trying to get crazy with [u]eci[/u]* don cho you know I'm loco? * (sp?)ese Reinforcements likely on their way After rough road trip, roster moves appear inevitable for Reds By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com Matt Belisle, who is 3-0 with a 1.09 ERA in three Minor League rehab starts, appears ready. (Al Behrman/AP) CHICAGO -- You can take it to the bank that Reds manager Dusty Baker and general manager Wayne Krivsky will be huddling up after the 10-day road trip ends Thursday. Potential roster moves will most certainly be on the agenda, especially after such a rough journey. "We'll either talk on the phone or as soon as I get back," Baker said. Lots of players are performing well early in the season at Triple-A Louisville. As it so happens, Krivsky has been scouting in Louisville all week. Calling up a starting pitcher is a possibility after Josh Fogg's two-inning, nine-run performance in Wednesday's loss. Matt Belisle has pitched well during a rehab assignment for a sore forearm and appears ready to come off the disabled list. Belisle is 3-0 with a 1.09 ERA in three Minor League starts. Homer Bailey has a 1.42 ERA in three starts, and Justin Lehr is the International League's reigning pitcher of the week with a 0.60 ERA in his two starts. Fogg, whose next turn in the Reds' rotation comes up Monday vs. the Dodgers, isn't the only pitcher struggling. Reliever Todd Coffey has a 7.20 ERA through nine appearances. The Reds' bats have had trouble producing runs lately, but there's been no ailing of the Louisville Bats' bats, especially from the right side. Entering Thursday, Jerry Hairston Jr. was batting .429 with two home runs and 10 RBIs. Hairston also has a clause in his contract that he can be released if he's not in the Majors by an early part of the season. Another veteran, Jolbert Cabrera, was hitting .359. From the left side of the plate, top prospect Jay Bruce is batting .333 with three homers. On Wednesday, Bruce was 3-for-3 and a double shy of hitting for the cycle. But he came out of the game early after he jammed his right shoulder sliding back into first base. "You've got some guys doing very well down there, guys that we liked in Spring Training," Baker said. "We have a couple of guys due to come off [the DL], so something's got to shake." That could include catcher David Ross, who's also at Louisville on a rehab assignment because of back spasms. Ross is also eligible to be activated from the DL but is batting all of .167 (4-for-24) in nine Minor League games. The Reds will open a six-game homestand on Friday against the Brewers and are in the midst of a 16-day stretch without a day off. "It's a very interesting situation," Baker said of his roster.
