We finally get to see that fancy new splitter that we've been hearing about from Homer. Could this finally be the chance for him to live up to the hype? I'm not really that optimistic. Personally, I thought he should have to pitch in the minors for another couple of months before given another shot at the Majors. Sure, he's been dominating of late, but it's not like he hasn't had stretches of dominance in the minors before. He needed to be consistently dominant in the AAA before I'd have given him another shot in the big leagues. Hopefully he'll make me shut up tonight though.
In a season where the Reds are adding more and more pitchers to the Tomo Ohka All Stars roster, it would be pleasantly ironic if they were to beat up on the real Tomo Ohka tonight. He is 5-2 with a 3.34 ERA against the Reds in his career, compared to a 50-64 record with a 4.14 career ERA. His ERA isn't much different, but he sure seems to know how to beat the Reds more than other teams.
Despite my lack of endorsement of his start, I am looking forward to seeing Bailey pitch tonight. This team could some positive mojo, since Joey Votto's return hasn't single-handedly turned them into champions. A good start tonight by Bailey as well as the possible return of Edwin Encarnacion next week could start to stir things up for the team. Any movements in a positive direction would be a breath of fresh air for a team that has been trapped in a pit of suck over the last few weeks.

Dickerson CF
Hairston Jr. 3B
Votto 1B
Phillips 2B
Nix LF
Gomes DH
Bruce RF
Hanigan C
Janish SS
Bailey P
Janish three days in a row? FTH?
I like this lineup. He’s giving Homer every chance to succeed.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
That's a good lookin set a last names there
Aside from the obligatory gripe about Hanigan batting 8th, this is the best lineup I’ve seen from Dusty all year. I’m hoping to see Gomes get a few starts against RHP and prove his platoon splits aren’t so steep.
Here’s hoping tonight will provide some anecdotal evidence that this slighty improved lineup will completely turn the tides of the Reds’ season.

Today is the greatest day so far this season in Reds-land
A lineup where probably the 8 best players at their positions are playing, Chris Heisey gets promoted, and Rosie Red gets to go back to Louisville where he belongs. Bask in it, Reds fans.

allow me to reiterate
Wonder what got into dusty ?This is my kind of line up
Dickerson 8 – Gets hits, runs fast, good D
Hairston Jr. 5 – Scrappy, gets hits, real VP
Votto 3 – He is all man
Phillips 4 – Should be switched with Gomes, but we all know BP
Nix 7 – Can’t complain about his ability to jack the ball
Gomes DH – should be cleanup – strong OBP/OPS
Bruce 9 – Good placement, it is just a matter of time and maturation
Hanigan 2 – I hope he’s still hot – this young man is ultra-scrappy
Janish 6 – Who can really play D – with all the other timber in this line up, any hits he gets are gravy
(Bailey 1) – the newest version of Home (Homer 6.0) is going to be successful.Very Successful!
Hope I get to see some of the game tonight.
Speaking of lumber, everyone of these guys wants Joey

Dumb enough to pitch to throw consecutive fastballs to Pujols earlier this year.
Cards won 2-0. Pujols had two homers off him.
He has good stuff. He just doesn’t know when to throw it and to who. Hopefully he gives Joey a few fastballs on 3-1 counts.

I'm optimistic
I think Homer has turned a corner. I dont recall him having 4 starts in a row anywhere near this dominant in seasons past. Then again, I dont recall any Reds minor league pitcher having 4 such starts either.

its impressive. almost all of the hits he’s given up since he started throwing it have been the groundball variety. that should play even better with a major league defense behind him. i think this could be a really impressive outing… 6 or 7 innings, less than 2 runs.

the strike zone is small
But it’s small for both pitchers.
Is it true that umpires generally have a smaller strike zone in the big leagues than in the minors?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Yes. Strike zones tend to be smaller.
But this is fucking stupid.

IO just caught some in HD and it does look like the Ump is got a tight strike zone.
I’m impressed with Bailey’s speeds though. He is throwing consistently in the high 90s after throwing 100 pitches. I hope he can work out this location issue bceause that’s impressive
seems like that's always Bailey's problem
Good stuff, not so good command.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Good question...lets ask Slyde....oh wait...how about BK....

Small pic but he also looks a lot like Edgar Degas
Maybe more like Paul Gauguin
Ans there a resemblance to Johnny Depp too
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.

Lovin' it
I think you’re on to some interesting with Gaugin. But I thinkJohnny Depp has the right body type to play Homer in the biopic lol
Gauguin has that condescending imaptience that Homer wears so well

nicely said
I was a bit surprised by Homer’s attitude following the last game he pitched where Joey V hit the two homeruns. He acted likeit was business as usual and wa sa little flip. It turned me against him a little bit.
The strike zone is petite. An XXS Petite
Homer battles through and so does Mads, I have 3 grandkids over, 11 yr old GS watching the game, 21/2 yr. GD and the afore mentioned 8 wk old GD who has decided to go to sleep. I can now type with more than I hand and finger, Woot!
Just in time for Who the base-clogger.
Homer did OK. Hung in there and didn’t fall apart and boy his pitches are high heat and nasty, Give him a couple more starts and I think he’ll be tits.
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.

Joey V. got a hit
not the upper decker homerun I predicted but a hit nonetheless. Glad he isn’t going ofer tonight!
Speaking of Joeh
He has a striking resemblance to the Country Western Star Hank Thompson
Not to be confused with Mr. Hanky
One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.

Never heard of Hank Thompson but there is a certain similarity
I sitll hold that, within Joey’s nice looks, there is a touch of Corey Feldman:
Nix rules.......in doubles land...
I like our left field tandem of Nix and Gomes

if they gave Hafner a hit on the ball that Phillips ole’d, they have to give Gomes a hit right there.

In fact, wasn’t Frottager a “Lord of the Rings” character?

It is the right thing I think
but now I can’t take my “Rosales, you are hotter than Clark Gable” sign to the next homestand. I just thought it might boost his confidence, and therefore his batting average lol Guess I could change it to Janish? I don’t know why it has to be Clark Gable, but I think it does.
Clark Gable??!!
Would he even know who Clark Gable is?

You are both right, I just thought it would have a high chance of getting on television for being so odd.
What do you recommend? I’ve never actually rbought in a sign and I don’t want to thoroughly embarrass those going with me
I thought he looked good, compared to what we've seen before.
LOTS of walks, but his delivery looks more repeatable and his arm strength was up (according to the radar gun). He just throwing carefully. And he knows it.
Good
except that my oldest took a spill yesterday and will be in a neck brace for a week. His x-rays came back fine, but he’s a 3 year old with a neck sprain. Poor kid.

He threw 98mph
And walked 7.
106 pitches to get through 5 innings.
Part of it is that the umpire had a small strike zone, but part of it is that Homer struggled with his location.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
He hasn't touched 98 in awhile
good sign there. How was this much heralded new splitter?

he couldn't locate it
Even though he may get the win, he couldn’t locate shit.
over at another forum
They decided his arm slot is different, probably because of the splitter. Hence the extra heat.
Though it might be better to throw 95mph and get it over the plate…
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
His armslot was totally different
I was telling my wife about that . . . I know deaf ears, but she’s the only one here . . .
He looks like more of a drop and drive pitchere here. Before he his shoulders had that upward tilt and a 3/4 arm angle when he released the ball. Looked a lot like Jimmy Haynes. Scary. But now he’s more under control. Even though he missed a lot, it looks like something that he can recover from, and his minor league results in the last month (not many walks) show that he can.
I thought he looked
like Jouhhny Depp
or maybe Paul Gauguin
or Edgar Degas
Poodle thought " doesn’t Homer Bailey somewhat resemble Christian Bale?"

I like the DH now
because that means the guy Dusty is forced to play a player he would normally bench, which is usually a better player than he would typically have in the lineup.

OMFG
And the most important thing we can take from this, according to Grande, is that Homer Bailey got a win.

I wonder if Dusty
will notice Janish is money in the bank at SS, and has been pretty serviceable at the plate, too.

That was a fun one
What really makes me feel great, beyond the win, is that Joey Votto has been down at first the last 5 games for nine innings. I hope he keeps feeling good!!

not a bad deal
the Indians get Chris Perez and a PTBNL. that PTBNL is going to make or break this deal for the Indians, but they just got a real high quality young ‘pen arm in Perez for DeRosa, who really is nothing more than a super utility player. i’d rather have Jerry Hairston for less than half the money.

I disagree that DeRosa is nothing more than a utility player
He can be a force if in the lineup on a regular basis. Just because he plays a lot of positions doesn’t make him Ryan Freel. I’d rather have DeRosa at three times the salary of Jerry Hairston Jr.
he's a league average bat who plays as a defensive negative everywhere but LF and RF
he has a .772 career OPS and projects to hit about .800 the rest of the way. sure, he’s better than Hairston, but i dont think he’s a significant enough upgrade over EdE or Nix/Gomes to warrant giving up the prospects we would have to have given up to get him.

Bailey rates his performance as "terrible"
Meet the new Homer. Same as the old Homer.
He says he didn’t throw the splitter very much. (Maybe because he likes to throw it when he’s ahead in the count, and well, he wasn’t ahead in the count much.)
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Well he didn't blame the ump's teeny strike zone...
Lets see with another couple starts if he doesn’t come into his own.
