Jessica Alba is only kinda pretty.
Homer Bailey is a good young pitcher though.
Just saying.

Assuming he continues to replicate these stats, or if his ERA dips lower (maybe to 2.75-range) and his peripherals remain the same -- does he stay in Sarasota to domiante for the full season, or does he move to Chattanooga mid-season?Originally Posted by OnBaseMachine
I say leave him in Sarasota and give him a full season to build confidence. The stuff this kid has is tempting to push, but he's just too valuable to risk blowing out this early.

Great job OBM. It sounds like Homer was really had great stuff today.
Somewhere a Cubs Announcer is cursing Lakeland. Do the same 2 teams play tomorrow? Wonder if Mejia gets plunked next time he comes to the plate against the Sar. Reds
Why?Originally Posted by CTA513
Isn't a batters job in a 2-0 game to get on base so that the tying runner comes to the plate? And isn't a bunt single a fantastic way to get said tying runner to the plate? These guys are trying to win - if this was a 5-0 game I'd see your point, but in a close game like this you gotta get on base to give your team a chance anyway you can.
