Is it time for the Reds to give up on Homer Bailey?

You know the worst part of everything? All of it. Sometimes, the problem is that it all bites and then everything stays exactly the same, with all the biting and everything. The most sucks part is the whole damn thing.

I think that about sums up the entirety of Homer Bailey’s career since signing a six-year $105 million contract extension with the Reds back at the beginning of 2014. It seems that the overwhelming consensus among Reds’ fans and observers is that the deal was laughably stupid from the get-go and this is all so plainly expected. I generally refrain from generalizing so simply, but I get the sense that the normal work-a-day supporter of my favorite team harbors extreme animosity towards Bailey for his failures and utter contempt for the Reds’ brain trust that made the laughably stupid offer in the first place.
