Nice first inning for Homer.

Reds' 1st: Dickerson K. Keppinger 6-3. Bruce 3U.

Pirates' 1st: McCutchen K (8 pitches, 6 strikes). Sanchez K (looking, 5 pitches). McLouth walks (6 pitches). Doumit 1-3 (3 pitches).

Re: 3/2/09 Reds vs Pirates
 

Reds' 2nd: Phillips 4-3. Encarnacion 7. Gomes singles to left. Nix doubles to right. Hanigan 8.

no score after 1 1/2.

btw the wind is blowing out at 15-25 mph. Could be another high scoring game.

OBM, where are you getting those pitch totals?

Re: 3/2/09 Reds vs Pirates
 

Pirates' 2nd: LaRoche walks. Moss 4-6-3 DP. Gomes 3U. (8 pitches).

John Fay's blog.

Re: 3/2/09 Reds vs Pirates
 

Gotcha. I was looking at the game day and trying to figure out why you were getting them and why I wasn't lol.

Re: 3/2/09 Reds vs Pirates
 

Fay must not have been paying attention - LaRoche singled instead of walking as Fay reported.

Homer: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K, 4 GO/0 FO

Re: 3/2/09 Reds vs Pirates
 

Gameday says LaRoche singled, not walked. Who wasn't paying attention, Fay or the Gameday operator?

Re: 3/2/09 Reds vs Pirates
 

I would really like to see Bailey do very well today and this spring, of course I really want all of the younger pitching to have an exceptional spring and season.

Re: 3/2/09 Reds vs Pirates
 

I want all the young pitching to do well but nobody more so than Homer Bailey. Homer is the one guy on this team whose emergence could make this year really memorable.

Re: 3/2/09 Reds vs Pirates
 

Reds' 3rd: Bankston walks. Dickerson singles to center. Keppinger hits into a 6-4 DP. Keppinger just got to first to avoid a triple play. Bruce 4-3.

Re: 3/2/09 Reds vs Pirates
 

I think so too. It would be a big lift all around.

Re: 3/2/09 Reds vs Pirates
 

Gee, I wonder.

I will cut Fay some slack. Any updates in the absence of radio are appreciated.
