Bailey: 5 innings, 0 hits, 0 runs, 2 walks, 7 strikeouts
Wow. Nice line. He's pretty much only been going five innings so far this year, wonder if they will pull him now with a minor no/no going...
They should. With 7 k's and 2 bb's his pitch count has to be high.
This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.
OBM thanks for the updates, I totally forgot about the early game today and just got done doing my knee rehab and it was refreshing to sit down and be able to read the pbp, so thanks again.
Sarasota Top 6th
-Adam Rosales flies out to left fielder Jeffrey Frazier.
-Jeremiah Piepkorn strikes out swinging.
-Cody Strait called out on strikes.
Bailey is through 6, 9 strikeouts, 0 hits and 2 walks. Very nice outing. I would be suprised to see him come out for the 7th though. We will see.
Lakeland Bottom 6th
-Miguel Linares strikes out swinging.
-Andrew Graham strikes out swinging.
-Gilberto Mejia grounds out to first baseman Tonys Gutierrez.

I imagine that is his last inning. THAT is the type of pitching performance I have been wanting out of Bailey. Homer showed up what all the hype was about today, now let's hope that he can stay consistent and string together a few dominant starts in a row.
Calling that a "very nice outing", is like calling Jessica Alba "a little pretty". Great outing for Bailey...for those that have been wanting to see "domination" of this level, this kind of start clearly counts...Originally Posted by dougdirt
I was thinking the same thing. Production like that has been seen rarely out of a Reds pitching prospect.
Sarasota Top 7th
-Tonys Gutierrez grounds out to first baseman Jeff Larish.
-John PurdomIII grounds out, first baseman Jeff Larish to pitcher Dallas Trahern.
-Philip Gentry strikes out swinging.
Still no score after 6-1/2 innings.
Homer is done after six outstanding innings. Brock Till threw a 1-2-3 7th inning. The no-hitter is still intact.
Six inning outing from Bailey with that line? Brightens up the pain of having to suffer through a Reds off day...
