7/2/12 Reds at Dodgers

Who is going to be left to play?

A scary moment. Cozart gets hit right in the helmet by a fastball

Bailey needs to brush back a Dodger. I doubt that was intentional but you've gotta protect your own guys. That was scary.

Seems ok - thank God - what an awful pitch

Coz mouthed "I'm fine," but Valdez takes over. This very well may be a shutout.

Need to see a bomb here!

Mediocre pitchers are capable of having really good nights where their stuff is just clicking. I've even seen Homer Bailey do it before.

And of course the Reds' lineup is such a machine that he "must" be having a great night...

What is hopeful? Most 1st rounders don't have extended careers.

I hoped for more out of Homer but bear in mind how most #1 picks turn out.

We might see Mike Leake pinch hit before this one's over. Ugh.

Oh yeah that one. We get it, you like Bailey. I am trying to. Have been for 4 years now.

Bailey better drill the first Dodger that steps in the box. Or I'll lose all respect I had for him (not that I have much respect for Bailey to begin with).

I'm actually ok with that. I'd bat him before a whole lot of ML benchers.

The Reds have more hits than the Dodgers.

Can he play 1st too? He did at ASU.
