More on Homer

This is the first time I've talked to Bailey. I didn't know what to expect, particularly because of an interview he did recently where he snipped at reporters, but he was delightful after his three-inning outing. He was pleased with his fastballs and change-ups, and blamed himself for a Kevin Cash hit that scored two.

When Cash was at bat, catcher Paul Bako called for a fastball and Bailey threw a curveball.

“Me being the stubborn ass that I am, I shake off Bako for a curveball that (Cash) hits up the middle to score two. Guess I was wrong on that one,” Bailey said.
