Bullpen Blues


The medical report on Bubba last night was basically unchanged:

Bubba Crosby's progress has slowed down considerably, according to Chris Lapole, the trainer.

Bats trying to get Jesse Gutierrez and Bubba Crosby healthy. Gutierrez is ahead of the pace of Bubba Crosby.

The Bats lost a heartbreaker in the 11th inning. "Love Shack" took the loss.

The Reds also lost a heartbreaker. They had a lead, but once again, the bullpen coughed it up in the 8th inning. JD at Red Reporter is so plecked off he wants to blow up the bullpen.

Of course, Yankee fans are saying the same thing about Cashman and the Yankees pen. I don't think it's as easy to construct a good bullpen as some think.

The Yanks won both games of their doubleheader yesterday, though it was rather closer than it should have been, IMO.

Since he's currently stuck in the minors anyway, Bubba needs to ask to play some 1B when he comes off the DL.

Being able to play another position would certainly increase his value.

But...first base is a kind of a contact position. Remember Bubba crashing into Brian Roberts a couple of years ago? And Aaron Guiel last year, getting hit from behind and sent flying, to land flat on his face six feet away?

Given Bubba's tendency to go for broke, I'm a little afraid he'd kill himself at 1B. :-/
