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).

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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Gee, I wonder.

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