Pretty dominate performance by the reds pitching staff this series. I hope that is a sign of things to come. Us Reds fans have been waiting for a long time for something like this from Homer Bailey.

Yeah, Bailey's ERA was over 7 to start this game. It now sits at 5.95.

 

It was mentioned on the broadcast that the same time last year the Reds were 20-14 and then 26-20 before things went askew. So I hope they can keep it going this weekend.

Back to back complete game shutouts!!! :banana:

 

:dancingpa

 

 

June of 1989 last time the Reds had back to back shutouts, Rio and Browning.

[Big Slick]

First time since when?

[gametime]

4 hit CGS on 90 pitches for Homer...

[Jim Schue]

Nicely done, Homer. This good pitching seems to be contagious. Let's hope it carries over to the next series.

[ekubum]

Great outing, 2 in a row, wow. I followed it on gamecast and he seemed to be in command and ahead of nearly every hitter.

[malachicrunch]

Wow. What a huge turnaround for Cueto and Homer. Good for them.

[HOMELESS CAMEL]

First time since when?

 

1989, Rio and Browning

 

Marty didn't have the stat for the last time the Reds had back to back shutouts without walking anyone. Pirates or not, it's insane how great the pitching was.

[Big Slick]

Thanks, trying to work a little and listen at the same time. Now let's get the Cards, no Carpenter and bullpen rested!

[ColonelCrazy]

Homer Bailey did not even go to a 3 ball count with any Pirates...

[Voice of Reason]

Dusty Baker is a genius. :walk:

[EZ Living]

4 hit CGS on 90 pitches for Homer...

I just wonder if "The Cowboy" had a chance to talk with Mr. Pryce. He stated his dissatisfaction over the air last week with Bailey and others nitpicking around the plate instead of pounding the strikezone with fastballs. He said the obvious that all it did was run up the pitch count and tax the bullpen. The last 5 outings have looked like this for the starters after the Bailey implosion against the Cubs last Friday night.

 

Harang 7 IP 2 ER 1 BB
