Re: 8/26/12 - Reds vs Cards
Seems like too many fastballs to me.

Re: 8/26/12 - Reds vs Cards
I don't want Homer Bailey anywhere near the playoff rotation.

Re: 8/26/12 - Reds vs Cards
Is it really bad luck when the pitches are right down the middle?

Re: 8/26/12 - Reds vs Cards
Homer has gotten squeezed a few times this inning.

Re: 8/26/12 - Reds vs Cards
His split/change up is working quite well today. He had Carpenter out in front earlier and just struck out Craig on it.

Finally one hit at somebody.

BABIP stands for batting average on balls in play. Homer allowed a high BABIP that inning because he grooved his average fastball right down Broadway. Yes, if he was real lucky, those shots might have been hit right at somebody and turned into outs. But generally throwing meatballs will result in a high BABIP. |
