April 16, 201411 yr Author comment_1345348 This is why we need Chapman back with a quickness. No lead is safe in the late innings. Our bullpen without him isn't all that great at all. Maybe once Latos comes back Simon will help that cause...unless Bailey keeps pitching like he spent all his money on hookers and blow...
April 16, 201411 yr comment_1345472 Woooooo! JK. Cueto stay healthy, please. Dude is a ace. Lets hope the bats stay warm!

Yeah IDK what Homer's problem might be, but I don't see how you send Simon back to the 'pen until (unless) he gets it together. Considering that Latos seems like he would get hurt watching baseball on TV right now, though, it probably won't be an issue any time soon.
April 18, 201411 yr comment_1345760 LeCure just bailed Simon out of a 2-on, no out situation, but Simon now has a .86 ERA. That's an 8 and a 6 with a decimal point in front.
April 18, 201411 yr comment_1345765 Simon is on fire. No doubt. Makes it a lot easier to ease Latos back in there. Wonder why he didn't get run while Cueto and Cingrani went down.

I mean, I fully expect him to come back down to Earth at least somewhat as teams get more tape on him to scout, but yeah.. Assuming no reversal in their respective fortunes, I foresee a mysteriously sprained whatever and a trip to the DL for Bailey when Latos returns. Let him get his shit together in triple-A.
April 18, 201411 yr Author comment_1345779 That's not a bad idea if Bailey keeps shitting the bed. He's having control issues, his velocity is good. I am as surprised as the next guy about Simon. IIRC he wasn't always lights out like this in relief last season. **Looks up stats** Hmmm...6-4 in 63 games with a 2.87 ERA. Not bad at all, actually.
April 19, 201411 yr comment_1345857 I'm just listening on the radio @ work, but this sounds like a really sloppy game.
April 19, 201411 yr comment_1345859 I'm just listening on the radio @ work, but this sounds like a really sloppy game. It looks just as sloppy. Cingrani (sp?) is having an off game...
April 19, 201411 yr comment_1345875 Mes is a man on fire. Put him behind Joey or Jay to give them a little more protection. Hopefully Jay is heating up as well.

April 20, 201411 yr comment_1345925 Brandon Phillips photo-bombed some Olympians the other day, love this dude.Some windbag on the radio, think it was Broo, tried to say this was when he strained his back & not at the plate. Broo says so many things that make no sense though it may have been someone else. I'm no sabremetricologist but for a game as overanalyzed as baseball it's amazing how much stuff I hear that is refuted by glancing at the most basic stats: RBI's, OBP, RISP.. Nothing that arcane, even. Heard Lance lump Frazier in with Cozart recently when they've been almost exact opposites defensively & at bat. Anyway I was thinking now would be a good time for Bailey to remind everyone why the team owes him $100 mil. First road series win, relative rosters & payroll, all that good stuff that goes out the window at first pitch. I looked up his contract though & noticed theres a $5m buyout, he's only making $3m this year, and unless he is traded that the majority of each year's salary is deferred until "Fall". Not quite as hamstrung as they could be, in other words, but I still expect him to go back to being the guy who already has 2 no-hitters under his belt, earn that $25m option instead of the buyout, become the unchallenged ace in the line-up, win the Cy Young, find Sasquatch.. tl;dr Phillips is the heart of this team & I hope Good Homer shows up.
