Richar

Triple-A: Newly acquired infielder Danny Richar (pronounced REE-char) went 0 for 5, but Paul Janish delivered the go-ahead double as the Bats beat Charlotte -- Richar's old team -- 7-5. Kevin Barker homered, Alvin Colina was 3 for 3 and Josh Roenicke struck out 2 in 1.2 perfect innings.

Double-A: The Lookouts' scoring troubles continued as they lost 2-0. Danny Dorn and Chris Valaika were both 0 for 4, and both have cooled off considerably of late.

High A: Logan Parker was 2 for 4 in Sarasota's 6-4 loss to Rick Porcello and Lakeland. Todd Frazier was 1 for 4 with an RBI.

Low A: Brandon Waring was 2 for 4, but Dayton fell just short, losing 18-0. Most of that damage went to Daniel Guerrero (9 runs) and Derrick Conatser (8 runs in 2/3 of an inning). More importantly, the suspensions from the big brawl were handed down. Henry Arias, Jeremy Horst, Jeff Jeffords, Luis Montano, Devin Mesoraco, Kevyn Feiner, Denis Phipps, Justin Reed and manager Donnie Scott were all suspended 3 games.

Rookies: Kyle Day and David Sappelt had 2 hits each in Billings' 6-2 win. Day, a 22-year-old catcher, has been clear-hot in his 18 games since being drafted in the 12th round out of Michigan State. He's too advanced for the Pioneer League. ... Juan Duran was 0 for 4 in his return, a 5-3 win for the D-Reds.

Did something happen to Dickerson?

It looks like he was taken out after 1 AB, a strikeout. Cumberland moved to center and they put Griffin in left, apparently. No mention of anything in the game writeup…

I'm not having even a mediocre year.

Maybe they are going to call him up...

Or maybe not

The game recap says Dickerson was ejected by the home plate umpire. For arguing balls and strikes, I presume.

I'm listening to the archived radio broadcast

Dickerson said something to the HP umpire that got him ejected immediately. There wasn’t even much time to argue. Strike 3 was called, then he was ejected. So he must have said something he shouldn’t have.

In case you haven't seen it

John Sickels reviews his Top 20 Prospects for the Reds. He still likes the depth they have in the minors.

Bend over and drop your pants, Mr. Babar.

Today was Old-Timer's Day

Dunno if the Reds do it, but the Yankees do it every year. They invite a bunch of former players to come back and play one more game. They divide the guys up into two teams and they play two innings (or less, depending on how long the innings go). They invited more players than usual, because it’s the last year in the old stadium.

Griffey Sr. was there. There’s also a part where everyone stands and they read the names of “members of the baseball family” who have passed since the last Old-Timer’s Day. Joe Nuxhall’s name was one of them.
