He didn't strike out anybody and he's always had success as a strikeout pitcher. 4 BB and 1 K in that game, nobody is going to pitch well while doing that.
It was just nieve of anybody to see the stuff he is throwing up there, and even the result he got in Philly and think it was going to continue. He didn't turn into a pitch to contact guy over night.
His first start was nothing other than blind luck. If he stays up here, you can expect more and more starts like this.

Which kind of makes my point.
....that's one pitcher who's spent appreciable time in the Reds farm system and who's being productive.
That's versus the litney of young tallented arms that haven't come up through the ranks and been a big producer.

Who are these young talented arms that you speak of? The Reds haven't had a long line of golden arms coming through the system that Homer was supposed to be.

Re: Cardinals @ Reds: 6/10/08
I can't remember if it was the Futures Game or the AA all-star game but two years ago Homer had serious heat when I watched him pitch on TV. He does not have that heat right now.
Re: Cardinals @ Reds: 6/10/08
Votto Homers!!!! 5-2 game!
Re: Cardinals @ Reds: 6/10/08

Re: Cardinals @ Reds: 6/10/08
There's a couple back. Lets hope we can tack on a few more before they take the kid out.
Re: Cardinals @ Reds: 6/10/08

Re: Cardinals @ Reds: 6/10/08
