... guys didnt. But we exhausted this line of conversation this past winter. Sigh.
Arroyo talked with Hal last night about the game When someone commented that it was like the Twilight Zone out there, he said, "No doubt. After the way I pitched here last year. I’d much rather face these guys in our park next time." I know what I'd rather have: The Reds skipping his spot in the rotation next time these jerks come around. Sigh.

Bruce’s BABIP is one of the more interesting anomalies in the game, as I explored over at Beyond the Boxscore earlier in the season. As a quick summary, Bruce’s BABIP on line drives and fly balls in particular has been particularly low for his whole career, and he’s had more than 20 fewer hits on those two types of batted balls than we would expect. This has dealt a pretty substantial blow to his value, as these hits would add up to more than 11 runs in value. ...

Jay Bruce will get better...this season
fantasybaseball365.com 6/16/2009 — I've received a lot of emails and tweets regarding the frustration of being a Jay Bruce owner.
