Excellent outing by Bailey. This type of command he showed today is what I've been hoping to see out of his development.

A sweep was paramount, and we got it. Now it's time to win two of three this weekend. I might have to get down to the park on Friday night if the weather isn't lousy.

Interestingly...of those 35...only 1 player (Newcombe) threw as many strikes as Homer. 73 out of 90.....and Newcombe gave up two runs. Absurd, remarkable, and TOTALLY unexpected!

Indeed. I swear I put the <= thing in there.

Let's try again.

Here's an even more impressive comparison. Throwing 90 or fewer pitches in 9 innings (or more) with over 70 strikes. Six dudes have done it.

Seven now!

Three of the six pitchers threw for the Reds at some point (Newcombe, Belcher & Smiley) and one (Bosio) coached for us in the minors.

vaticanplum · 05-12-2010, 03:29 PM

whoops, never mind

reds44 · 05-12-2010, 03:39 PM

Of Homer's 90 pitches, 78 were fastballs.

It was like one of his minor league outings.

Homer Bailey · 05-12-2010, 03:39 PM

Maybe my handle isn't useless after all. What an outing by Homer.

4 games over .500. I really, really don't believe it.

I saw Greg Maddux dual Curt Shilling once. They both threw complete games under 100 pitches. Maddux only through 88 pitches.

one of best games I have ever attended.

Wow great game by Homer, way to make me eat my words (should have known not to agree with FCB).
