Homer Bailey will take the mound at Busch Stadium this afternoon (2:15 p.m. start). Bailey underwent season-ending surgery last September for a flexor mass strain. His recovery has remained on schedule and the tall Texan has been pain-free during his rehab starts.
With one exception (cough, cough, former Cardinal), the Reds starting pitcher has been outstanding. While it’s unrealistic to expect Bailey to be at peak-Homer form today, the Reds sure could use a quality start to help get out of the current skid that has seen them lose five of the last six games.
What better way to celebrate Homer Bailey Day than to buy a Redleg Nation t-shirt or hat or support the site through a donation using the sidebar button.
Shirt also available in black with red lettering. Kids and women’s sizes available.
