Personally, I'll never own a Cincy pitcher. Not in that ballpark, and not in that division. I'd rather take a chance on some schmo form Seattle or Washington. Pass.
The Reds officially named right-hander Homer Bailey the starter for Saturday’s game in Cleveland. Bailey likely is to get a long look because Edinson Volquez isn’t expected to return until after the All-Star Break.Bailey’s opportunity comes at a time when he’s pitching extremely well. Since returning to Louisville, Bailey is 5-0 with a 0.81 ERA. After his first start back, Bailey learned to throw the split-finger fastball. He’s 4-0 with 0.47 ERA since. He’s allowed 30 hits, seven walks and struck out 38 in 38 1/3 innings in that span.
