It seems that they'll probably get another inning or two in before the rain gets there.

Give Homer props getting the strikeout on a 13 pitch at bat.
How can you say that? He just threw nine 3-2 strikes to a guy who kept fouling everything off. He did not give in and struck him out on the 13th pitch. IMHO, he looks great!
That said, I'd still take him out just to save wear and tear on him and let him get out with a lead.

Homer finally out of the long inning. He's over 100 pitches though, I wouldn't send him back out.

If evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve!
Interesting judgment call whether to bring Homer back out next inning. He came back strong there, and sometimes is good later in games, but he's over 100, the bullpen is rested, he's worked hard this game.
Wonder if Dusty will bring him out again.
Guess Bailey is staying in.
Homer batting for himself with 2 outs.

He's at 102 pitches...I hope he's on a short leash.

Homer K's to end the frame. 104 pitches for Harrell.
Homer almost certainly coming back out. I just don't trust him here with just a 1 run lead. Hope I'm wrong.

Back to back K's for Homer for the first 2 outs

Another rookie pitcher and another run-starved game. Bailey is dealing, though.
