    Homer Bailey

    This guy seems to have all the tools to me. However, I feel this could be a very bad spot for him tonight. The Great American Ball Park is a very hitter friendly place, and even if he overcomes all those Tribe bats. I still feel he will not be able to go the distance based on his numbers.

    The # is high, but I'm thinking about playing the over. Lee has been very hittable and even if the rook is the real deal, from what I read he has some control issues that a team like CLE could take advantage of for some runs.

    I'm pulling for him but I predict he gets rocked. Not very impressive in Spring Training.

    Not a good name to have, being a pitcher.

    Lets see how many "Homers" he gives up today.

    Glad I was wrong. The kid threw a lot of pitches but pitched well. Too bad the bullpen will probably blow the win for him.

    The Kid actually didn't look all that bad tonight. He made a 114 pitches with like 5 K's, but only went 5 innings.

    114 pitches in 5 innings, damn. He most of got into a lot of trouble. How many hits and walks did he give up?

    His walk/ip ratio in the minors was pretty poor when I checked last night.

    Didn't catch the game however, unfortunately.

    Yes, this might be his first big league strong start.

    He really needs to get rid of the nickname though, unless he plans to change positions.
