Bailey to start on Saturday for Reds

Right-hander has been lights out in Triple-A
06/25/09 7:00 PM ET

TORONTO -- The Reds made it official on Thursday that Saturday's starter vs. the Indians will be Homer Bailey, who will be recalled again from Triple-A Louisville.

Based on the timing and his recent performances, it really couldn't have been anyone else.
Not only was Bailey's next turn for Louisville to be Saturday, he's been its hottest starter. The 23-year-old is 4-0 with a 0.47 ERA in his last five starts, with three of them lasting at least eight innings.
Over his last 38 1/3 innings, Bailey has allowed just one run with seven walks and 38 strikeouts. In 14 starts overall for Louisville, Bailey is 8-5 with a 2.71 ERA. The right-hander struggled during his previous one-start callup on May 23, also vs. the Indians, when he gave up six earned runs on three hits with a career-high six walks over 4 1/3 innings in a 7-6 loss.

Reds trade Hopper to White Sox

Updated 1:28 PM Friday, June 26, 2009
The Cincinnati Reds have traded outfielder Norris Hopper to the Chicago White Sox for catcher Corky Miller, according to a press release.
Miller, who played sparingly for the Reds from 2001-2004, is hitting .205 while playing just 14 games for the White Sox this season.
Miller will report to Class AAA Louisville, where Hopper spent the entire season.

I think I'd rather they traded for the other Corky.

Say what you want about Miller being minor league filler. You just know he'll be up with the big club within three weeks, pinch hitting for Jay Bruce with the Reds down a run.

Cowboy worried that fans would see it as throwing in the towel on the season for a salary dump. I say bring on the dump!

Being worried about what the fans think when you having nothing but are worried about the perception of your team when you are trying to get better makes you end up like the Lions and the Browns.

In this case, fuck the fans - if the Reds are worried about what the fans will think when they have a team that is going to go nowhere, it's a completely hopeless situation.

Should be interesting to see how well Homer throws his split finger, and when he decides to use it (assuming they let him). He wasn't even throwing it at the time of his last call up. Since then he has picked it up and been using it a fair amount.

I'm guessing that'll be "whenever the catcher doesn't want him to use it."

Went to the Civil Rights Game last week, thought I'd post some pics.

It was a great event and I hope they make this an annual event in Cincinnati.

Great pics, thanks. As for the game, it will be back next year in Cincinnati. After that, not so sure. I think MLB will move it around.
