Homer pitching.

Bruce is 1-10 when I start a thread with 6 K.

Just saw that Hanigan went to the DL with a strained oblique.

Corky Miller got the call up to be the back-up catcher.

This is it. Mesoraco can take the starting job and never lose it again. He's got his chance...

Doubtful.....I bet with Dusty that Meso could be the player of the month in the NL and Hanigan would come back and catch 3/5 of the games regardless of his hitting woes.

Dusty is the most loyal manager in the history of the world. If Dusty was managing back in the 20's for the Yankees, no one would've ever heard of Lou Gehrig, and his disease would be called something else.....Taverasitis or something prolly.

Bailey get down 3-0 to the lead off, gives up a roped double but gets each of the next 3 hitters to chase about 5 pitches out of the zone and he gets out of it.

He may not look back now.

Took the safe play, but put more on Homer, but he came thru with the K, then a 2nd K for good unnecessary good measure!

X hits into a DP on the 1st pitch and then Votto HR on his 1st pitch.

Hopefully we're getting the Votto of old now... Would be nice if Bruce could get going soon as well

That ball was shot and he was plenty deep enough to get him out. That is not a difficult play when the ball is received so quickly.....though it may have helped get Homer to focus.

I hope so too. I didn't see the game yesterday. Did Votto look like a changed hitter like he did on today's blast? It wouldn't have taken much for him to look better than Friday night.

Jay Bruce leading the league in at bats while batting 5th tells me that he refuses to walk....he can't have very many.

Yeah, they gave him a hit. I watched the replay 3 times and just disagree.

Homer had to get 5 outs that inning before he got to the dugout. Non regulars Izturis and Mesoraco not about to take any chances, and the chief chance taker makes an apparent E on one he doesn't need to take a chance on!

It would test Hannahan's footwork and glove work if the runner makes it as tough as he can by drifting to the right to make that throw go as far as possible to the outside of the bag, and then cut left sharply with a fade away slide to the inside of the bag.
