No brushback. Someone needs to get plunked. Or Bailey should find a different profession.

Just the way the cookie crumbles. Phillips and Bruce will jump start us. And Bailey better drill Bilbo next time.

If you're referring to Billingsley, he has the advantage of facing this Reds lineup tonight.

In a game without Votto, playing Heisey over Ludwick doesn't help matters IMO. Now the bunt king is in for Cozart, who hopefully is ok.

No more Stubbs.

He better be planning on plunking Billingsly. If not, this is absurd.

Where was that pitch?

What good does that do? I'm sure Billingsley feels bad enough.

Hasn't even gone inside to Billingsley.

What is the point of throwing at someone? Do any of you actually think there was any kind of purpose behind that pitch?

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

I don't think the Reds took a high school pitcher in the 1st round with hopes that he could be their #5 starter in 8 years.

I think they, and most, thought he had TOR stuff, and could be a TOR starter within 5 years....many even sooner.

He's serviceable as a #5 starter....but it continues to be a roller coaster ride for fans. His trade value continues to decline as well.

He has the occasional gem, and as a #5....that's nice.

And he gets a hit. Un. Accept. -Able.

Id rather hit him then give up a single.
