Merged: Coffey gets creamed / Coffey needs a ticket to Louisville

[texasdave]

Coffey was Todd-awful once again. He comes in with a man on and immediately gives up a bomb. He puts two more runners on via a walk and a hit batsman before being mercifully yanked. Turnabout was fair play as Gosling gives up a blast to the first batter he faces, which allowed the two runners he inherited from Todd to score. What has happened to Todd Coffey? One option is that he is sent to Louisville to work out whatever problems he has down in AAA. IMO, a better option is the let him take the rest of the year off. He has to be shell-shocked. The Reds should just tell him to go home for the rest of the season and forget about 2007.

was never sold on him even before this year...and now, geez release the guy

[Carolina Red]

Can anyone tell me what was so bad about Cormier? He was better than Coffey, and since we were paying him a fortune maybe we let the wrong guy go. Wayne, please trade Coffey to the Cubs!

[captainmorgan07]

he has been terrible when brought in when we have a lead. This severly limits the oppurtunities he's gonna get. and we all thought on here he was a future closer wow were we wrong. He just seems to choke in tight spots. He just pumps the fastball up there entirely to much.

i'll chip in............

LOL

I just had a great idea....................i would love to get as many people on board as possible to all go to a game the same night, and have "Coffey Cup" night.......everybody wears a cup outside of their pants with a picture of Coffey on them........Extra bonus points if you wear some form of full body padding (think karate sparring stuff) and sit in the outfield seats.

[Chris Sabowned]

Why does he need a ticket? Just let him sprint like a frickin moron down to Louisville like he always does to the mound.

Mroby would probably make a donation I know he hates Coffey

[redsupport]

You asked "what has happened to Todd Coffey?"
My answer is: was he what many thought he was to start with ?
I mean last year was respectable but was it the year before he gave up 84 hits in 56 ip or something thereabouts.
I am just saying maybe he is what he is (now).

very true, lol.

[mroby85]

im afraid that has already happened

[mroby85]

thats correct, considering he only had 2 good months last season, april and may.

[Chi-Town Red]

the best thing he does as of late is sprint into the game...sad

[improbus]

I wish he sprint straight from the bully into the clubhouse and save us the trouble of watching him.

[AmarilloRed]

I don't hate Coffey, but he does need to spend the rest of the year in Louisville and try to sort himself out. I want to see him start fresh next year in spring training.
