Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Sunday, July 27, 2008
Homer Bailey was channeling Kip Wells, apparently.
The Colorado Rockies ... pounded 16 hits, 15 off Reds starter Homer Bailey in 4 2/3 innings en route to a 5-1 victory.
...
Colorado is on a Rocky Mountain High, without John Denver. They have needed no help while going 8-1 since the All-Star break, getting 11 or more hits in seven straight games and outscoring the opposition 65-32.
Bailey was a fast-deflating punching bag on this night, giving up in successive innings two, two, two, three and six hits — 14 more than the Reds had over the same span.
...
The Rockies pounded Bailey for 14 singles and one double, the most hits against a Reds pitcher since Jimmy Anderson gave up 15 against St. Louis on June 26, 2003.

Bruce, Cueto, and Votto are worth it. This is a practice season for them. Bailey on the other hand, who knows? He looks like he's pitching with three different mechanical stops out of the wind-up. He's all ######-up. Great arm, and bad rep on attitude. The previous two starts were impressive and showed some of that great promise and fire. Tonight, not so much. A bust at 22? Not yet.
Too soon.
