Before Saturday's game in Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies, before Bailey's Class AAA Louisville Bats game against the Durham Bulls, Narron said, "Bailey pitches tonight, and if he has a good game, he has a shot at it (starting Saturday). It is up to him."
General Manager Wayne Krivsky said, "He is one of the guys on our list, and we'll see how he does (Saturday night) and what our people there say."
Bailey won his sixth game Saturday, giving up four runs and seven hits in six innings, walking three and striking out nine.
Narron said, "You guys (beat writers) better check your boards and see who will be well-rested for next Saturday." After his Saturday start, Bailey will have six days of rest before the Indians game.
And it was just little more than a week ago when Narron told the
Dayton Daily News, "Bailey will be here shortly."
