August 22, 201214 yr Nice to see Homer back to having good stuff last night. I heard today that Bryan Price said they saw something in his delivery and that Cowboy said on the radio he noticed within the first couple of pitches that his arm slot was different. Check out Homer's Home vs Away splits. Crazy. Homer Bailey 2012 Pitching Splits - Baseball-Reference.com ERA 5.42 v 2.91 (one more game at home) HR 17 to 4 AVG .317 v .243 I heard today the Reds have won the last 9 away games that Homer has started.

The way the playoffs are set up you almost have to go with Homer in Game 1 or Game 2 on the road.
August 22, 201214 yr Author The way the playoffs are set up you almost have to go with Homer in Game 1 or Game 2 on the road. Agreed but it would suck to lose game 1 knowing you weren't running out your best pitcher.
August 22, 201214 yr The way the playoffs are set up you almost have to go with Homer in Game 1 or Game 2 on the road. You can't pitch him at home.
August 22, 201214 yr Agreed but it would suck to lose game 1 knowing you weren't running out your best pitcher. You would still have your two studs going the next 2 games.
August 22, 201214 yr The way the playoffs are set up you almost have to go with Homer in Game 1 or Game 2 on the road. Crazy talk. You send your best two pitchers in the first two games. If Homer goes game 1 he is your game 4 or 5 pitcher at home. You go Cueto, Latos then figure it out.
August 22, 201214 yr You would still have your two studs going the next 2 games. But Homer goes game 4 or 5 depending on if to use 3 or 4 starters. You have to figure you can win at least 1 of 2 with your studs.
August 22, 201214 yr Crazy talk. You send your best two pitchers in the first two games. If Homer goes game 1 he is your game 4 or 5 pitcher at home. You go Cueto, Latos then figure it out. A lot of it will be depend on how soon they clinch, so they can set the rotation up how they want. I still don't think it's crazy talk. If you lose the 1st 2 games on the road with your top 2 studs, do you want Bailey going in Game 3 at home? It is a consideration that needs a serious look.
August 22, 201214 yr Two things about tonight's game. 1. The Phillies OWN Arroyo 2. Reds and Phillies are wearing throw back uniforms tonight.
August 22, 201214 yr A lot of it will be depend on how soon they clinch, so they can set the rotation up how they want. I still don't think it's crazy talk. If you lose the 1st 2 games on the road with your top 2 studs, do you want Bailey going in Game 3 at home? It is a consideration that needs a serious look. If you lose the first two games with your two best pitchers you tip your hat and hope Homer wins game 3 so you can throw your two best pitcher again. If Homer Bailey loses games 1 and 4 or 1 and 5 b/c you over thought your pitching situation you should get fired immediately.
August 22, 201214 yr Bruce nor Hannigan can bunt. Just catching up but Hanigan CAN bunt. Dusty has actually squeezed with him at least twice over the last couple of years and feels very comfortable with him sacrificing.
August 22, 201214 yr If you lose the first two games with your two best pitchers you tip your hat and hope Homer wins game 3 so you can throw your two best pitcher again. If Homer Bailey loses games 1 and 4 or 1 and 5 b/c you over thought your pitching situation you should get fired immediately. You have to look at the series as a whole, and what pitching matchups give you the best chance of winning. If Bailey is one of the top 3, pitching him on the road gives you the best chance.
