I believe you are thinking backwards. If the guys in AAA can hit Homer, who is supposed to have dominant stuff, those singles will turn to doubles and home runs against the Yankees. Giving up 3 hits an inning clearly shows he doesn't quite have it yet.justincredible;805061 wrote:1 hr and 10 singles. A lot of those singles become outs in the bigs. Not worried.
Wife and I are going. We just bought $5 seats so we won't show up til about 7:45 so that we can just go straight to the good seats.brutus161;805469 wrote:Who else is going to the game tonight?
Many pitchers will tell you that stats in AAA are meaningless. Homer Bailey has been roughed up many, many times in AAA. Johnny Cueto got hit a bit in AAA and he's been the best pitcher in the NL for the last month. I'd be more interested in how they feel he's commanding and how his mechanics look. Often times guys on rehab starts will focus on a certain thing such as mechanics or locating a pitch, and their numbers will suffer because of it.dave;805544 wrote:I believe you are thinking backwards.

it's easier this way, we go to 20+ games so we don't mind missing an inning, we'll be there by the bottom of the 2nd. discounted parking 2 blocks away for only $5 after 7:30. more time for yard work.Ironman92;805553 wrote:Well at least go and stand and watch the first 2 innings!
Yeah I know what you are saying, from a few reviews I've read he didn't have it though. He wasn't just pumping all fastballs. Homer has dominated at Louisville in the past. Cueto was just building up armstrength so that was a little different.Azubuike24;805551 wrote:Many pitchers will tell you that stats in AAA are meaningless.
