In your life, expect some trouble.
When you worry you make it double.
Homer Bailey pitched one sad inning. For the second start in a row, he didn’t strike anyone out. Nor did he give up a walk. The problem wasn’t control. What he did surrender were singles, five of them. All three earned runs scored on routine ground balls. Bailey’s fastball velocity was down again, often below 90 mph – even lower than his previous start. In his two starts before that, against Miami and Milwaukee, his fastball *averaged* 95 mph. Concern is reasonable.
On the other hand, Bryan Price had Bailey bat.
