June 8, 200719 yr Anyone else out there wanting to see Homer pitch and see how good he does. He will have a tough time with Cleveland but there will be tons of support in the stands for him.
June 8, 200719 yr I'll go out on a limb and predict a quality start from Bailey - 6 INN, 3 ER. I'll be most interested to see how they handle his pitch count.
June 8, 200719 yr Knowing Jerry's managerial style like I think I do. He never lets him get more than 5 innings. So I will say 5 innings, 3 runs, 8 hits, 5 K's, 1 BB.

I agree , but lets finish the prediction; Reds are up 6-3 at this point, but lose in the 10th when a 2 out bases loaded popup to the catcher is suddenly swept up in a small tornado and bounces off of Dunns head to go over the left field wall for a grand slam. 7-6 tribe
June 8, 200719 yr If you're right 98, and I realize you're being somewhat flippant, but they won't let him go past the 5th, than that becomes reason #6 not to bring him up. Why get into the bully any sooner than necessary?

Why get into the bully any sooner than necessary?I am serious. And I completely agree with you. I wouldn't bring him up now either.
June 8, 200719 yr Homer Bailey has never pitched into the 8th inning. Wrong. He did about 2 weeks ago. The first 2 batters reached base and he was lifted...
