Homer Bailey is so inconsistent

[madducks]

On any given day he can pitch a no hitter or have double digit k's or pitch batting practice.
12 games with 2 er or less
9 games with 4 er or more

But at least he got my fantasy team a W, even with his bad game today!

With the exception of today, he has pitched alot better at home which has helped in streaming him and avoiding some of those inconsistencies.

yep - some days the good one shows up - some days the bad

So...in 21 of 22 starts he doesn't have 3 earned runs. Woo...earth shattering news.

if it's a more meaningful stat (I'm honestly not sure if it is), he only has two starts with an ERA above 3 and below 6.

Thanks. That's what i was getting at. It seems like he hardly ever has a mediocre start. It's usually either very good or very bad.

True, but overall he does seem to be improving. IMO he's a classic example of a pitcher who was rushed to the bigs because he was a top draft choice but wasn't really ready, then given chance after chance for the same reason, that the front office had invested so much of their hype in him that they were going to keep him up no matter what. Four or five years after he anointed as a savior of the pitching staff (along with Cueto), he seems to have taken root as a decent #2-3 SP.

What I like about him is that he has absolutely no flash to him. Keeps his mouth shut and does his job, doesn't make excuses when he's off or shout about it when he's on.

I just wish he wasn't a Red...
