6/08 Indians vs Reds (Here Comes Homer)

[George Foster]

I hope Homer comes out throwing strikes here. He knows what he has to do. Just get past the nerves and mow them down.

they are free swingers...throw strikes...

[redsrbetter]

Another full count. Bailey gets Sizemore swinging on ball 4 again.

[redsrbetter]

Another 2-0 count

[redsrbetter]

Groundout to onzo on a 2-1 changeup that was dropping. 2 outs

[redsrbetter]

Where was that pitch?

[redsrbetter]

1-2-3! Groundout to Gonzo for the third out. Got ahead of Hafner there. Looking a bit more smooth and a bit more calm now. But just getting behind hitters.

Settling down against the top of the order second time around is not a bad thing to see at all.

[redsrbetter]

Homer likely reached his halfway point for his debut. How do you guys think he has faired so far?

[redsrbetter]

Ross pops out to 2B. 1 out

Here comes Homer to the plate.

[redsrbetter]

Homer with a very nice AB. Makes Lee battle there. He grounds out on a really nice play by Barfield. 2 outs

[redsrbetter]

Hopper grounds out to 1B. 1-2-3

[redsrbetter]

Homer was smiling in the dugout after his AB. I am glad to see that. Jitters are just floating away.

[missionhockey21]

That was an impressive AB from Bailey.

[George Foster]

That was an impressive AB from Bailey.

He will get his far share of hits...

[George Foster]

he needs to get that breaking ball over.
