That hit raises Bruce's avaerage to .263. If he gets a hit in his next AB he'll be in the .280's. I'll wait til he has 50 AAA at bats to judge one way or another but I would like to see him stay in AAA the rest of the year instead of being shipped back to AA when Wise returns.

[Prf15]

He should of been able to stretch it into a homerun. What a slacker.

[Redman15]

Homer just gave up a 3-run bomb. Louisville trails 3-1.
Dayton Trails 3-0.

[Aronchis]

I have a feeling before the end of the year, Bailey will replace Stubbs as the most disappointing prospect.

Bailey's confidence is shot. Why do I have a feeling if he had never been called up in the first place, this would have never been happening? First sign of something going wrong, he implodes.

[Redman15]

Logan Parker ties the game with a 3 run bomb. Dayton 3 Cedar Rapids 3.

Encarnacion leaves Fifth Third field with a monster 2 run homer. 5-3 Dragons.

[nate]

The wife brought home Chili's...sorry dudes!

Homer leaves after giving up a double to Velandia.

Salmon on in relief.

[Redman15]

Salmon replaces Bailey with runners on 2nd and 3rd, 2 outs.

[nate]

Ugh, Salmon doesn't get it done. Allows all of Homer's and one of his own runs to score. 6-1 Durham with Bray warming up.

[reds44]

Homer better get used to sitting on a bus.

Turner hits a 3 run homer for the 3rd bomb in the inning. The Dragons have their 8th hit in a row. Dragons lead 8-3.

Actually, I think his problem now is that he fades after about five innings. I saw it with the Reds -- even in his good games, Bailey weakened later on in the games. He hasn't had a lot of longer outings in his brief career -- another sign that he needs more seasoning.

I doubt that his confidence is shot. He seems like a competitive, confident young pitcher. But he is too young to be a successful major league pitcher right now, needs some work, and should get it at AAA.

Homer's final line:

5.2 IP / 4 H / 5 R / 2 ER / 3 BB / 4 SO / 1 HR
