Dave Bush

Anyone else see Dave Bush mouthing at Gibbons when he got pulled in the game today against Minny.

Haven't seen that before

[Rance Mulliniks]

Yep - he was pretty upset at getting pulled early - Gibbons doesn't seem to have much faith in him right now. With Downs pitching so effectively, I'm surprised they haven't moved Bush out of the rotation. If they aren't going to give him a chance to finish 5 innings, why let him start at all?

You've never seen a pitcher upset at being taken out? Happens all the time. I can remember a number of memorable times involving the Blue Jays - mostly back in the Cito Gaston days. Todd Stottlemyer, David Wells and Juan Guzman all had occasion to yell at Cito on the mound - Wells even threw his glove at one point.

[Rance Mulliniks]

As some (at least me) anticipated, Bush was finallly sent down to Triple-A today. Jays called up Chad Gaudin to take his spot.

[Mookie4ever]

Talk about a hard luck pitcher.

He'll be back though, he does need some time in the minors to get his confidence back.

first outing in the minors with the chiefs didn't go very well for bush.

6IP 10H 5ER 2BB 7K

7 Ks are nice...but...

[Rance Mulliniks]

With Gaudin's stinker, who knows who'll be starting next. Maybe Walker gets a try?

Walker got the start, and he wasn't half bad. However Bush will be back because Gaudin needs more time, and I like Walker more as long relief

[Rance Mulliniks]

If Walker keeps pitching the way he has in long relief, and the way he did in his first start (limited to only 75 pitches) I think he'll stick in the rotation.

If Bush does well down in Triple-A (hasn't really happened yet) then he might be back, but much later in the season I feel.

good game for bush yesterday against richmond. he went 7.1 gave up 9 hits, but only 1ER, no walks and 5Ks.

his previous start wasn't bad either...went 6IP and gave up 3 runs...let's hope he'll continue to pitch well. as much as i liked the way walker pitched against the O's, i prefer seeing him as a long reliever.

Agreed.
