Homer Gets Nasty. Nicer. Better?

Homer Bailey's first outing of the spring was a 1-2-3 inning with 2 strikeouts. Today in his second outing, Bailey went 3 innings, striking out 4, and allowing only 1 hit to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hal McCoy writes that this may be the Homer Bailey that we have all been expecting.

Hal also writes, Homer is displaying a different personality off-the-field and has changed his "life patterns" (whatever that means). Regardless, I guess it's good news.

I'm not totally sure that Homer has turned it around just yet. If anything, I hope he has learned to listen to a pitching coach and understands that he just can't throw a fastball past a major league hitter. Right now, that's what he's doing. I'll wait until the hitters get their timing down and the games matter. Then I'll decide.
