I'd buy that for a dollar.

I said the 6th earlier too. I agree.

I love the positivity especially when I'm just being grumpy.

Remember how this board wanted Simon sent to A ball when he first came over? Yikes I like his stuff.

alloverjr · 07-13-2012, 08:54 PM

Simon looks good. I wonder if he'd be exposed if he pitched more, or if he'd just be a good high leverage arm.

cbowen2112 · 07-13-2012, 08:54 PM

Simon is our 3rd nastiest bullpen arm and is used in the 6th. Why not the 8th against righties?

Tom Servo · 07-13-2012, 08:59 PM

Cozart and Stubbs retired before Votto comes up. I, for one, am shocked.

cbowen2112 · 07-13-2012, 09:00 PM

The positive/good inning will have to wait until cozart and Stubbs get their heads out of their rears. Or until they stop making easy outs.

cbowen2112 · 07-13-2012, 09:02 PM

Well. Votto is 0 for his last 6 if you include the All-Star game. Super slump for him.

reds44 · 07-13-2012, 09:03 PM

So is Chapman's slider junk?
Santana's changeup?

Hasn't hit many balls hard since he hurt his knee - didn't watch the AS game though.

I'm not sure why you're arguing in such a manner. You've really never heard of "junk" as a compliment? "Man that guy's throwing some junk up there!" It's been used for decades.

alloverjr · 07-13-2012, 09:06 PM

Brandon looks like he's lost a step side to side. He's been missing those with greater frequency. Was hoping the AS break would help, but that's 2 tonight.

I've never heard "junk" used as a positive. Only we should be hitting this junk. Or why can't we hit this junk?

And for those who said junk and garbage weren't synonymous

junk/jəNGk/

Old or discarded articles that are considered useless or of little value.

I see dougdirt hiding in the weeds ready to pounce if Simon gives up runs, claiming its due to lack of work.

Good humored ribbing Doug, nothing more.
