Dude is a BEAST and he just needs some experience.

Because he's our closer

Because he has one very good pitch right now with a decent 2nd pitch and that's it. If he had one more out pitch, then yes...for now, he's perfect as a closer.

Who would have closed tonight to hold it at 2? This game is more important than the next two

With this offense, I'd rather have him available more in games like this.

Broussard must stay at closer
Posted on 4/17/14 at 9:42 pm to Brageous
he is a good closer

Remember that time Matty Ott was a good closer and tried to become a starter?

Well, coming off of tommy john it was a good idea to ease him back. Especially as a power pitcher. Problem is he became a lock down closer. We're about to get him for longer than usual now so this may be his audition.

Not if he keeps having to come in in the eighth

He's a better closer. If this team
scored more runs and he wasn't needed every Friday, could throw 5-6 innings on Sunday.

He isn't tough to figure out second time through the line up.

My boy was never the same after that.

He has 1.5 pitches thats why
Posted on 4/17/14 at 10:31 pm to Macintosh504
Way more valuable as a closer

This! During the SEC race Sunday pitching is important. At championship time it fades. We won the natty with Austin Ross as our Sunday guy. We were very beatable on Sundays, but we were almost unbeatable with Coleman or Renaudo starting and Jones and Ott closing. Plus, what the other posters said about Bugg's limited repertoir. He'd get killed by the fourth inning. Let him develop his other stuff during the offseason, and he will be a weekend guy next year.

Am i missing something? Why is everyone calming bugg our closer? Did the thread start off about Broussard.
Posted on 4/18/14 at 8:35 am to bbap
Think the op changed the thread title because of embarassment

Mariano Rivera was a beast. The reason he was a closer is that he had that one dominant pitch, the cut fastball. May not have been as effective if hitters saw that pitch in 3-4 at bats every game.
Bugg still has a great del of developing to do. Luckily we have one of the best pitching coaches in the nation bring him along.
