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.

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.

If he leaves, he'll go to Toronto. He has a close relationship with his younger brother.

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.

I park for $5 right there on the other side of 50....walk along the river.....7 minutes walk in the shade.
I understand....I just know that if I did that their would be 13 runs scored in the 1st inning and the 3 best defensive plays ever would happen. That's how I've rolled all my life...lol
Enjoy the game! Reds have hit Jo Jo Reyes pretty hard 2 of teh 3 times they've faced him.....BP is 4/8

Yeah my pregnant wife isn't walking that far when it's 80 degrees. When we go to games on time we park at the Chiquita Center, that's $5 all the time and about 3-4 blocks away.
