  Hopefully Homer comes out fired up looking for some redemption

  I'm not too confident the redlegs will pull out a W today......... I could see the Marlins beating Bailey like a drum.

  Can Phillips hit it passed the pitchers mound??

  What a pos ump. Asshole.

  WTF did Votto do? Jesus.

  You've gotta be kidding me.

  He was getting back into the batters box, looking down, getting into his stance. Then, all of a sudden, ejected.

  He was definitely arguing the previous pitch, as much as I love Votto, he argues calls a little too much
• Rotinaj

  

  Worst. Ejection. EVER.

  Wow just saw the replay that was absolutely terrible... That home plate ump must be a Cardinals fan

  Yeah, he was talking, but like Cowboy said he did it the correct way. He didn't show the umpire up. He didn't get in his face. He didn't delay the game to argue the call. He just let him know he didn't like it while going through his routine.

  votto is pretty sly about his jawing at home plate umpires. this guy didn't want to hear any of it apparently and ran him.
  I hope Homer gets that call, high outside is usually a call pitchers don't get especially when the catcher is set up down the middle.

  The unknown is how foul the language was.

  Unless he said something about the umps mother the language shouldn't be an issue.

  Through 2 innings: Bailey 44 pitches...Sanchez 26

  LOL, Orlando Cabrera is a BB.

  And waves like a girl. I love it!!!
• mhs95_06

  Thru 3 innings, there have been no baserunners with less than 2 outs for either team Amazing that Homer is averaging 21 pitches per inning when he retires the first two each inning. Marlins doing a good job getting his pitch count up. I hope the Reds bullpen has another productive day in them.
• mhs95_06

  Only 17 pitches in the 4th for Bailey, for a total of 80. He'll be doing good if he can get thru the 6th with no runs and not go over 115 pitches.
• mhs95_06

  Marlins defense helps out by giving the Reds a lead-off runner in the 4th.
• osu45804

  

  Then they take away a Edmonds HR

  Then Gomes goes nowhere as the Reds' "hit it out" strategy fails. I hope the Edmonds type catch to rob Edmonds of a homer isn't a harbinger of what Edmonds plate performance will be if you liken it to Bruce's whose best homerun bid in July was foiled by a similar catch.
• mhs95_06

  Homer has just a 9 pitch inning in the 5th, thanks to his own failure to get a glove on the 2-out chopper that Cairo makes a nice play on for the 3rd out.
