Louisville overcomes Norfolk
April 15, 2007
Joey Votto tripled home two runs and six straight Louisville batters reached safely in a six-run ninth inning to carry the visiting Bats to an 8-2 victory over Norfolk on Saturday.
Votto's triple scored Norris Hopper and Bubba Crosby with the go-ahead runs. Aaron Herr followed with a run-scoring single that chased reliever Cory Doyne, who took the loss (0-1).
Louisville starter Homer Bailey allowed one run on three hits in five innings, striking out four and walking three. Bailey has allowed two earned runs on four hits in 10 1/3 innings for a 1.74 ERA. Jason Kershner (1-0) went 1 2/3 scoreless innings to pick up the win.
The Tides (3-4) managed only five singles against four Louisville pitchers. The Bats (6-3) had 13 hits, led by three for Hopper.
Norfolk starter Jim Johnson yielded two runs on five hits in five innings. Johnson struck out three and walked one. --Tim Leonard/MLB.com

Bailey sharp, but Bats fall to Richmond 5-1
He allows just one earned run
By Michael Grant

The Courier-Journal
Cincinnati Reds general manager Wayne Krivsky was in the stands at Louisville Slugger Field yesterday, but Bats right-hander Homer Bailey said he didn't feel any extra pressure. The Reds prospect pitched well, but Louisville lost to the Richmond Braves 5-1.
Bailey (1-1) was undone by an early fielding error and a lack of offense, but Krivsky must have been pleased by what he saw. Bailey allowed three runs -- only one earned -- in a season-high six innings as he lowered his ERA to 1.69.
Krivsky left after the game and wasn't available for comment.
Bailey was so focused on working on his curveball and change-up that he wasn't too concerned about who was in the stands. It showed in the results as the right-hander allowed only four hits, walked one and struck out two.
"As long as I'm pitching to home plate and it's still 60 feet six inches, I'm all right," said Bailey, the seventh pick in the 2004 draft. "I'm trying to keep my team in the game, and I try not to worry about things that may be in the future. Right now I'm feeling well when I go out there."
The 6-foot-4 Texan worked effectively without too much trouble, but in the fourth inning Richmond got to him for the two unearned runs. Willie Harris led off with a flyball that was dropped by left fielder Tyrell Godwin for a three-base error. Harris scored on a sacrifice fly. With one out, Bill McCarthy and T.J. Bohn rapped back-to-back doubles for the 2-0 lead.
McCarthy's shot to center with two out in the sixth made it 3-0. It was just the second homer allowed by Bailey this season.
Louisville manager Rick Sweet said Bailey has made progress.
"I think this was the best command of his off-speed," he said. "He threw back-to-back change-ups. The curveball he used well. He pitched a good ballgame. This is encouraging. He was working with the catcher. He's got to put together some more games like the one he pitched."
But the Braves pitched a little better. Richmond right-hander Buddy Carlyle (2-1) combined with two relievers to allow five hits.
The Bats had a chance to get back in the game. Trailing 3-0, they had the tying run at the plate with none out in the eighth, but pinch-hitter Earl Snyder grounded into a double play and Godwin grounded out to kill the threat.
Richmond picked up two insurance runs in the ninth. Carlos Mendez led off with a double, and Gregor Blanco bunted for a hit. Iker Franco doubled to score Mendez, and Blanco scored on pinch-hitter Wes Timmins' sacrifice fly.
Louisville finally scored on Aaron Herr's one-out double in the bottom half.
The Bats split the two-game series and concluded a six-game homestand 2-4. They are off today and will begin a four-game series at Syracuse tomorrow.

OTTAWA -- Homer Bailey and three relievers combined on a five-hitter, and Jeff Keppinger had three hits to raise his average to .400 as the Louisville Bats beat the Ottawa Lynx 4-2 last night.
Joey Votto hit his third home run for the Bats, a solo shot off Zach Segovia (0-4) that broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth. Votto also had an RBI single in the third.
Bailey (2-1) gave up four hits and both runs in six innings, striking out five and walking four. Gary Majewski and Brian Shackelford followed with a hitless inning apiece, and Marcus McBeth worked around a two-out walk and a single in the ninth to earn his first save.

Bats catcher has career night
Jorgensen gets 7 RBIs in 11-1 win
By Michael Grant
mgrant@courier-journal.com
The Courier-Journal
Ryan Jorgensen's bat is usually as intimidating as a toothpick. Last night it resembled a sequoia.
The normally light-hitting catcher drove in seven runs and blasted a grand slam in the Louisville Bats' 11-1 bashing of the Ottawa Lynx at Louisville Slugger Field.
"It feels good to bounce back and finally see the ball a little bit better," Jorgensen said.
He had as many hits in the first three innings as he had all season.
Jorgensen entered the game 2 for 33 with one RBI. In the second inning Ottawa starter Rick Bauer issued a four-pitch walk to Chris Dickerson to load the bases.
Jorgensen was hitless in his previous 25 at bats, but he mashed a bases-clearing double to left field for a 3-0 lead. He later scored on a double play.
A great night then got better.
The next inning he came to bat with the bases loaded again. Bauer left a slider over the plate, and Jorgensen drilled a shot to left field that carried into the seats.
"I knew I hit it hard," Jorgensen said. "I didn't know it was going to go over the fence like it did. I was lucky that it stayed up."
In the sixth he came to bat with the bases loaded for the third time but struck out swinging. Still, his seven RBIs were just shy of a franchise record. Mark Dougherty had eight against Denver on June 21, 1987, with the Louisville Redbirds.
Last season Jorgensen had 30 RBIs in 230 at bats.
Louisville manager Rick Sweet said the catcher had been putting in a lot of practice time.
"It's nice to see a guy who has been working hard on stuff have some success," Sweet said.
☆☆☆☆☆
The 8-0 lead made it a stress-free night for Bats starter Homer Bailey.
The Cincinnati Reds prospect retired the first nine batters he faced, though the right-hander had trouble finding the strike zone in the fourth.
He walked leadoff batter Chris Roberson, who was erased on a double play. Then Bailey walked Jason Jaramillo and allowed hits to former Bat Gary Burnham and Chris Coste for the Lynx's run.
"When you get an eight-run lead you tend to back off a little bit," Bailey said.
He settled down after that. He worked a season-high seven innings, lowering his ERA to 1.83. He has not allowed more than two earned runs in any of his six starts.
Bailey (3-1) didn't have to worry about the long ball. Ottawa has hit only one home run in 27 games this season while allowing 16.
☆☆☆☆☆
The Bats picked up another run in the fourth. With one out Anderson Machado hit his first homer of the season to make it 9-1. Aaron Herr added a two-run single in the sixth.
Louisville pounded out a season-high 14 hits.

Votto's homer lifts Bats to 4-3 win over Chiefs
Contact lenses help 1st baseman's swing
By C.L. Brown
cbrown@courier-journal.com
The Courier-Journal
Of all the technical aspects Joey Votto could have used to improve his hitting, he started with the most basic principle.
The Louisville Bats' first baseman got fitted for contact lenses about two weeks ago after learning he had an astigmatism in his right eye. Last night he ripped off a 3-for-4 performance, including the game-winning homer in the eighth inning.
Votto's blast gave the Bats a 4-3 win over Syracuse -- their third straight one-run victory -- before 11,658 fans at Louisville Slugger Field.
"I played all the way through spring training and the first month or three weeks," Votto said. "I had no idea I had an eye problem."
Consider the problem solved, as Votto ripped Blaine Neal's changeup over the left-center-field wall.
"It's made a difference," he said. "I absolutely see the ball better."
Votto, in his first full year playing Triple-A, has bruised opposing pitchers since he started wearing the lenses. The Cincinnati Reds' organization 2006 Hitter of the Year has 12 hits in his past 25 at-bats.
"I kind of hoped I wouldn't hit under .200 the whole year," said Votto, whose batting average is .256.
The Reds' other top prospect playing for the Bats didn't have such a spectacular outing last night.
Starter Homer Bailey did not get a decision after pitching 5 1/3 innings. He had six strikeouts but gave up four walks.
"He struggled with his command," Bats manager Rick Sweet said. "He struggles with the consistency of his game."
Bailey worked his way out of potential trouble twice with two runners on base. He began the game by walking two batters, only to strike out two and get a third to pop up an infield fly.
In the fourth inning, Bailey walked Kevin Barker and gave up a single to Chad Mottola with one out. He escaped without allowing a run thanks to quick reflexes of third baseman Edwin Encarnacion, who snatched a Curtis Thigpen line drive that surely would have driven in a run.
The Chiefs caught up to Bailey in the fifth. Jeff Duncan and Ray Olmedo singled, and Bailey walked John Hattig to load the bases. He struck out cleanup hitter John-Ford Griffin, but Barker hit a two-run single to left with two out.
Bailey started the sixth inning and gave up a leadoff double to Thigpen. Two sacrifices later, Thigpen scored to tie the score at 3 and Bailey gave way to relief pitcher Jason Kershner.
"He doesn't get real deep in games sometimes because he throws so many pitches," Sweet said of Bailey's 107 pitches.
Louisville, which leads the International League in errors, capitalized on a Syracuse mistake in a three-run second.
With runners on first and second, Thigpen tried to turn a double play but made an errant throw to short that allowed Mark Bellhorn to score from second. Mike Edwards, who was 2 for 3, moved to third, and Chris Dickerson advanced to second on the error. Chad Moeller came up with a two-run double to left field to give the Bats a 3-0 lead.
The Bats are 6-2 at home in games decided by a run.
"These are games you need to win, especially when you're home," Sweet said. "Good clubs do win these games, but it's tough on you."

Bailey's arm and bat help Bats win 6-5
Special to The Courier-Journal
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Homer Bailey allowed just one hit over 52/3 innings and helped his cause with a two-run single as the Louisville Bats held on for a 6-5 International League baseball win over the Columbus Clippers yesterday.
Bailey (4-1) allowed a run before a hit, as his first-inning throwing error allowed Brandon Watson to reach second base, and Watson scored on back-to-back groundouts.
Watson's bunt single with two out in the third -- extending an IL-best 21-game streak -- was the only hit Bailey surrendered. He struck out seven and walked two while lowering his ERA to 1.99 over 451/3 innings.
Bailey's two-run single came in the second inning. He also walked and scored in the fourth. Dewayne Wise laced an RBI triple in the third, and Earl Snyder blasted a two-run homer in the seventh to build a 6-1 lead.
The Clippers (21-24) rallied for four in the eighth on Brett Abernathy's RBI single and Michael Restovich's three-run homer, but Ricky Stone pitched around Watson's two-out, ninth-inning single for his third save.

Top prospect's Reds debut might come next Saturday
By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com
DENVER -- Top pitching prospect Homer Bailey's start on Saturday could very well be his final one for Triple-A Louisville.
By next week, Bailey seems likely to finally stand on a Major League mound debuting in a Reds uniform.
"It might be bigger than bobblehead night," Reds manager Jerry Narron joked.
The dominoes to promote Bailey began to fall into place on Saturday when Cincinnati optioned starter Bobby Livingston to Louisville and recalled reliever Marcus McBeth. On Friday, Livingston gave the Reds a solid, 6 2/3-innings spot start in a 4-2 win over the Rockies.
"He did a great job for us," Narron said of Livingston. "I'm sure if we need somebody again, he'll be highly considered."
Because of Monday's off-day, the Reds won't need a fifth starter again until next Saturday against the Indians. But it can't be Livingston. Unless there's an injury, rules state that a player optioned out must wait 10 days before he can be recalled. There was no consideration, Narron said, of using Livingston as a long reliever in the bullpen this week.
"So start checking your board to see who's rested next Saturday," Narron coyly told an assembled group of writers.
With veteran left-hander Eric Milton (left elbow) nowhere close to coming off the disabled list, there are three leading candidates.
"[Victor] Santos, [Phil] Dumatrait and Homer Bailey," Narron said.
Santos, a long reliever and former starter, is the lone option on the big-league roster. The right-hander is 1-0 with a 4.45 ERA in 20 relief appearances. His chances to start would be diminished if he's needed to pitch from the bullpen in the next few days.
Dumatrait is 5-4 with a 3.79 ERA in 11 starts. However, the left-hander is 0-3 with an 8.80 ERA over his last three starts. On Thursday vs. Charlotte, he allowed six earned runs and 12 hits over 4 1/3 innings.
That leaves Bailey, the Reds' first-round draft pick in 2004, who has dominated at every Minor League level. The 21-year-old entered Saturday's start at Durham with a 5-1 record and 1.89 ERA in nine starts. He had walked 21 and struck out 43. But Bailey struggled some in Saturday's start, allowing four earned runs on seven hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out eight batters. The performance upped his season ERA to 2.31.
The organization has been deliberate with Bailey's development to this point. After he was roughed up in Spring Training, he was instructed to use his off-speed stuff more and not rely as much on his mid-to-high 90s fastball.
The Reds have Thursday's starter at St. Louis listed as "TBA," but it would normally be Kyle Lohse's turn since he started vs. Colorado on Saturday. Of course, that assignment would also give Bailey his normal four days rest to pitch as well. But chances are the Reds wouldn't mind the extra ticket sales a Bailey home debut would provide.

Reds set Bailey debut, activate OF Hamilton
Associated Press
Updated: June 5, 2007, 6:56 PM ET
ST. LOUIS -- The Cincinnati Reds activated outfielder Josh Hamilton from the 15-day disabled list Tuesday and recalled righty reliever Todd Coffey from Triple-A Louisville.
The Reds also set top prospect Homer Bailey's major league debut for Friday. The seventh overall pick in the 2004 draft, the righty will start at home against the Cleveland Indians.
The 21-year-old Bailey was the team's minor league player of the year last season. He was 6-1 with a 2.31 ERA in 10 starts at Louisville this year.
Hamilton had been on the DL since May 22 with gastroenteritis, an inflamed digestive tract. He was batting .261 with eight home runs and 18 RBIs.
Hamilton hit .333 with four homers and six RBIs in six rehab games at Louisville, and was batting second in the opener of a three-game series against the Cardinals.
Coffey began the season with the Reds and was 1-1 with a 4.94 ERA in 26 appearances before being optioned to the minors on May 24. In six games covering 5 2/3 innings with Louisville he didn't allow a run and had nine strikeouts.
The Reds optioned right-hander Brad Salmon to Louisville. Outfielder Dewayne Wise cleared waivers and was outrighted to Louisville.

ST. LOUIS -- The Cincinnati Reds activated outfielder Josh Hamilton from the 15-day disabled list Tuesday and recalled righty reliever Todd Coffey from Triple-A Louisville.
The Reds also set top prospect Homer Bailey's major league debut for Friday. The seventh overall pick in the 2004 draft, the righty will start at home against the Cleveland Indians.
The 21-year-old Bailey was the team's minor league player of the year last season. He was 6-1 with a 2.31 ERA in 10 starts at Louisville this year.
Hamilton had been on the DL since May 22 with gastroenteritis, an inflamed digestive tract. He was batting .261 with eight home runs and 18 RBIs.
Hamilton hit .333 with four homers and six RBIs in six rehab games at Louisville, and was batting second in the opener of a three-game series against the Cardinals.
Coffey began the season with the Reds and was 1-1 with a 4.94 ERA in 26 appearances before being optioned to the minors on May 24. In six games covering 5 2/3 innings with Louisville he didn't allow a run and had nine strikeouts.
The Reds optioned right-hander Brad Salmon to Louisville. Outfielder Dewayne Wise cleared waivers and was outrighted to Louisville.

CINCINNATI (AP)—The Cincinnati Reds have optioned pitcher Homer Bailey to Triple-A Louisville.
The move Sunday comes less than 24 hours after the right-hander was unable to last five innings in his first major league start of the season.
Infielder-outfielder Wilkin Castillo was recalled from Louisville to fill Bailey’s spot on the roster. He was hitting .207 with the Triple-A Bats.
Bailey, Cincinnati’s No. 1 pick in the June 2004 draft, was recalled from Louisville on Friday when Edinson Volquez went on the 15-day disabled list.
Bailey was roughed up for six runs on three hits and six walks over 4 1-3 innings in his start Saturday against Cleveland, but escaped with no decision.
だそうで。ではまた9月(or 2010)にお会いしましょう。

Barons 投手成績、全て1位か2位にするために、唯一望みが薄かった「奪三振」。
2位の iramaさん との差は、ラスト1日を残して、"21"。
普通に考えると、無理。。。
やむを得ずシーズン最終日の予告先発のなかで奪三振を狙えるピッチャーを探した結果、今まで散々、小バカにしてきた（＆忘れ去られつつあった） ホマベ に赤羽の矢を立てました！
結果、、、
10/4(Sun) Homer Bailey, Reds
6回 7被安打 失点0 3四球 7奪三振
結果 CIN 6-0 PIT 勝ち投手（8勝目）
すげぇ！消化試合とはいえ、想像以上！
で、総奪三振数？
10/3 まで
