Bugbie Recalled

The Nashville Bluebirds recalled top prospect Scott Bugbie from Orlando Oranges prior to Thursday’s series finale versus the Long Beach Surfers. The lefty was slotted into the stopper role left vacant by Martin Román after his mandated anger management classes were masked by an IL trip with a tired arm. Román was caught on camera by TMZ angrily throwing a glass towards his wife at a downtown Nashville restaurant following a disappointing loss to Long Beach.

Bugbie filled in splendidly in his first week as a stopper, totaling 3 2/3 IP, 2 H, and 6 K in addition to collecting his first save in a win against the Hawaii Tropics. After receiving a spot start for suspended SP Chin Kim, Bugbie improves his BBA ERA to 2.53, but command has been a bit of a struggle with the southpaw saying “I’ve really gotta stop walking batters. I think I got away with a lack of control at lower levels, but I really wanna stay in Nashville this time and I know the only way to do that is to throw strikes.”

GM Chad Nason wasn’t as quick to doubt the lefty’s ability, saying “Bugbie is a special kid with loads of talent. We’ve seen him develop immensely since acquiring him and we believe his skillset can fill many needs on our pitching staff. We love the fact that he can get out righties and is capable of starting games or closing out victories. He could be our x-factor as we look forward to the playoffs.”

Bugbie could very well become that Swiss Army Knife that Nason envisions and could potentially replace Ta-heng Hor as an opener. Potential got Bugbie to the majors, but versatility may be the weapon that keeps him here long term. Román is scheduled to return in a week and it will be interesting to see how the pitching arsenal is assembled.

I noticed that! Gotta love that bumping to get him to where he is today...he's going to be good, especially if that screwgie comes in.

Long term goal is to be TOR, but right now it's fun putting him in different situations. He can play a lot of different roles.

To be fair, his wife did just give the house band another $100 bill to play Mindy McCready's song, Guy's Do It All the Time, for the fifth straight time that night.

That’s a lot of money for a guy on a minimum deal.
