JBandJoeyV Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 reds are down 3-2 in the eighth, but herrara pitched his first inning, striking out ryan howard and pat burrell...not a bad first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTA513 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Another game in which the Reds didn't score many runs when Harang pitched. Phillips helped kill any chance of a rally with his 2 double plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a big game for the Reds, we really need it, and I just don't know about Bailey going up against the likes of Howard, Utley and company. I mean, I hoope he pitches lights out, but will he?

With the lineup he's facing today, I'll be happy if Bailey can make it 6 innings giving up 3-4 runs. His control and how many batters he walks is going to be the key.

Go Tory Go! Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Yes, I believe Bailey was the right choice instead of Thompson. Thompson has had two starts in AAA, so don't worry, it's not like they're holding him down there unnecessarily. With the state of our pitching - being good - he may get up in September. BTW, Krivsky was lambasted for this trade in 2006, but Kearns and Lopez haven't done much, and its now looking like Bray and Thompson are coming around. Krivsky did make several incredibly useful moves, it's just a shame he couldn't let veterans walk without signing them to multimillion dollar deals first.

Bengals1181 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 can't complain much with what he's done so far. 6 innings, 1 earned run. 3 unearned runs on awful defense that you can't really blame on Bailey. Yea one of the errors was his, but isn't the reason for the run being scored. pitch count wise, he may go 8 innings at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Tory Go! Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 An unfortunate start. Janish doesn't hit much, so he better stop making errors. Bailey's error came because he didn't get the ball out of his glove fast enough, and when he did, he threw an awkward curveball to votto. Griffey's got caught in the lights, and he closed his glove too soon in protection mode. What was more disturbing was his inability to get to the next hit, which dropped for an RBI single. He could barely move. I think the knee is worse than we all thought. Strange that Bailey has no K's. He's running out of gas in the 7th, he won't go 8.

Sounded like the solo homer in the 6th was his only big mistake. Definately think he deserves a few more starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
