He was amazing, i cannot wait until his next start.
I was only able to watch the Pitch-by-Pitch track on my phone but the one thing I did notice that he was ahead of almost every hitter. That is exactly what we want and the reason Bailey is in AAA. Sounds like he had great control today. Anyone go to the game and see him in person?
Cueto was lights out, his change is amazing, he really knows how to pitch & is unflappable on the mound. Wow! unreal for a rookie, things are looking up for the Reds, the next few years are going to be fun with the youngsters.
