Reds at A's 6/19/2007 Homer Bailey Time!

[missionhockey21]

I have no clue why Narron has those guys throwing in the pen right now. Bailey is just getting to 80 pitches.

Probably Narron has word not to go over 100 again, or at least I imagine Kriv and crew would call for that.

This is the makeup of an ace right here.

Bailey gets out of it! Gets Chavez to do what Swisher did. 3 outs. Whew.

You have to love his ability to get out of jams. He has shown that bigtime even without his best stuff getting later in the game. I love it.

With a 3 run lead, I take him out now.

Valentin grounds out to 2B on the first pitch.

Rational mission says to pull him.

Homer mission (and no, not Homer Simpson or Homer Bailey) says to keep him for this game and then have him battle communism because he is that awesome.

Hatteberg gets a double to the right center gap. Love this guy.

I hear you bro. I want to see more of him, but he was pretty wild that last inning. he does have more pitches in him though I am sure. Close to call.

BP pops out to 1B on the first pitch. First pitch! Ugly.

[missionhockey21]

I think another sidewinder in the pen would solve all of our bullpen woes.

[missionhockey21]

Griffey walks, which has been a bit rarer this month, but of course his OBP is still worlds apart from last season's.

[redsrbetter]

Griffey takes a walk against a tough lefty in Marshall. Nice

Lets see what Dunn can do

[redsrbetter]

Dunn Ks swinging. Tough pitcher. 3 outs

[redsrbetter]

Bailey stays in the game...

[redsrbetter]

Bailey gets Cust on a Bailey's choice curveball. Hmmm, he got it to work twice in that AB. Nice job Homer.

[missionhockey21]

Dunn Ks swinging. Tough pitcher. 3 outs

His overall stats weren't that great looking, but he is tough on lefties and it showed there.

Anyway, Bailey just strikes out Cust and man is his delivery fluid or what.
