Jay Bruce will be promoted to the Reds tomorrow. The corresponding roster to move will be announced then. That's all I've got for now.

Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
:jump:
but will he play everyday?
more moves to come? (as in DFA Patterson?)
-
Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
And the Reds had no idea when the Super Two date is ...
Great to see Bruce up though! Looks like I might be heading down to the game tomorrow, weather dependent obviously.
-
Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
This is great. This gives Baker less room to make mistakes.
Dunn, Bruce, Griffey, and Patterson (not to mention Chris Dickerson, Danny Dorn, Drew T. Anderson, etc.) . . . There has to be someone who needs a left-handed bat in the outfield.

Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
It's about gosh darn farting time.
-
Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
Woo.
Lets hope the second half of this story is a Patterson DFA

We can only hope.
This is very good news. I suspect there might be a couple of more moves (perhaps pitching) coming up soon, as well. Let us hope this is only the beginning of a move in the right direction.

Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
Can someone tell me what his number will be? I'm ordering a jersey tonight.
And is there any chance that number will change?

My dad and I are thinking of making the four hour drive tomorrow to watch him. The only problem is dad has to work plus he coaches my brother's baseball team so he's going to try to work something out so we can make the trip. Man am I pumped right now!

Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
"Bout damn time! :thumbup: :beerme:
Now we get to see how Dusty uses him.

Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
Play him EVERY SINGLE DAY.....wherever.

Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
I'm thinking about going to the game tomorrow now. I'm thinking really hard. I got to see Edinson's Reds' debut, I'd love to see Bruce's MLB debut.
-
Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
that number should be put on the outfield wall with the other Reds greats.
:)

Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
I'm thinking of going tomorrow now....we'll see

Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
If it wasn't for gas prices and me only being 17 on a school night before exams...I would definitely be there.

School exams come and go, there is only one Jay Bruce. ;)

Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
I am thrilled he is finally getting the call, but expectations need to be reasonable. He is just 21.
Patterson needs to go to the bench. Bruce for Patterson alone makes this a much better offensive team.

Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
Keep him away from Farney

Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
may the Jay Bruce Facts commence... :)

My expectations are reasonable. I remember that when Bruce was 19 he hit a ball so hard that it went through the first baseman's glove and the only person able to catch it was Jim Coombs who had to leap over the wall and do a triple lutz.

Defensive replacement for Dunn...

Isn't Bruce in the Reds HOF already? Now you want his # on the outfield wall? Demanding aren't we?

I just texted my son up at The OSU and he wrote back, "Come pick me up! We're going!" Na, probably not.

That's rough with the long drive since there's still no guarantees Bruce will be starting tomorrow. I'll be waiting until the lineups are up tomorrow before making the final decision to head down. He better be starting, but you never know what kind of Dustification the Reds will try to pass for not starting Bruce tomorrow.

Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
Dusty may want to ease him into the lineup....after all, Corey Patterson's a stud.

More likely Valentin or Hatteberg I'd guess.

Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
can he pitch on Wednesday to rest the rotation?
-
Re: Jay Bruce called up!!!!!
Well, now I know what I'm doing tomorrow night.

With Cueto on on the mound (or Harang or Arroyo):
Hairston SS
Dunn LF
Bruce RF
EdE 3B
Votto 1B
Phillips 2B
Patterson CF
Any old stiff C
With Volquez or other ground ball guys:
Freel CF
Dunn LF
Bruce RF
EdE 3B
Votto 1B
Phillips 2B
Janish SS
Any old stiff C
Flip flop Bruce and Phillips against a LHP. Bako is probably the best stiff of the moment to catch, but I'd be looking to upgrade by using some one's grandmother back there.

For a split second I ALMOST looked that word up... :p:
