Baby steps through the second inning!

Much better 2nd, still leaving fastballs up and that usually doesn't work in a pitcher's favor.

Edinson Volquez left his playbook in Homer's locker apparently.
But I also have yet to give up on him. People act as if he's posted a 7.50 ERA the last 3 years, when in reality he's had three decent, albeit injury prone seasons. He just absolutely has to stop having disaster starts like these, because they detract a lot from the rest of his body of work.
Could anyone teach Homer a fastball with a bit more movement? When I was pitching I was always experimenting with slightly altered grips to get the most movement I could.

4 pitch walk to Heisey. 3rd walk by Westbrook already.
