Excellent outing by Bailey. This type of command he showed today is what I've been hoping to see out of his development.
A sweep was paramount, and we got it. Now it's time to win two of three this weekend. I might have to get down to the park on Friday night if the weather isn't lousy.

Interestingly...of those 35...only 1 player (Newcombe) threw as many strikes as Homer. 73 out of 90.....and Newcombe gave up two runs. Absurd, remarkable, and TOTALLY unexpected!

Indeed. I swear I put the <= thing in there.
Let's try again.
Here's an even more impressive comparison. Throwing 90 or fewer pitches in 9 innings (or more) with over 70 strikes. Six dudes have done it.
Seven now!

Three of the six pitchers threw for the Reds at some point (Newcombe, Belcher & Smiley) and one (Bosio) coached for us in the minors.

Of Homer's 90 pitches, 78 were fastballs.
It was like one of his minor league outings.
Re: Reds vs Pirates 5/12/10 Game Thread (aka "Legend of the Rally Onion")
Maybe my handle isn't useless after all. What an outing by Homer.
4 games over .500. I really, really don't believe it.

I saw Greg Maddux dual Curt Shilling once. They both threw complete games under 100 pitches. Maddux only through 88 pitches.
one of best games I have ever attended.

Wow great game by Homer, way to make me eat my words (should have known not to agree with FCB). ;)
