Defense much?
mes lays the sign down but its still up to bailey.
Mes has all of the tools and I think he's gonna be really good. Calling the game and handling our pitching staff is the kind of thing that will have to come with experience.
so when latos had a bad month in april for sd was it mes fault also? was it mes fault leake thru his 91 mph fastball down the plate?
Until Homer Bailey starts getting that Strikeout or Groundout when he's got multiple runners on base, in other words, showing the ability to get himself out of trouble by himself, then he's never going to be anything more than a #5 Starter. He's got the physical ability. It's always, at least for him, to be the mental toughness/intelligence, to step it up a notch when he needs it.
Everyone here was bashing Baker because he didn't start Meseraco enough until somebody figured out Hannigan's won-loss record. Now its throw Mes to the wolves and catch Ryan every game.
This is not a year were you can have a catcher out there trying to gain experience at the expense of the team. This is a year when the Reds have spent a ton of money and the Central is ours to win. Hannigan should start every game but night-day games that are back to back.

I'm not saying it's all on Mes, the pitchers still have to make pitches. It is just obvious sometimes that his idea of how the game is going to be called is way different than the pitchers. He has to be on the same page with them.
here we go again...
There are 3 guarantees in life; death, taxes, and the leadoff walk coming around to score.
0-2 pitch again...wow
