Farmers Only: A look at the bullpen help, and offenses go crazy

  • Louisville routed Charlotte 19-6.  7 of the 8 Bats starters had at least 2 hits, including a 4-for-6 night by Yonder Alonso, and 3 hits each by Zack Cozart, Wladimir Balentien, and Todd Frazier.  Wlad also hit a grand slam (his 19th HR of the year) and drove in 5 runs.  Daniel Dorn, Chris Valaika, and Chris Dickerson all homered too.  After Ben Jukich started the game, we saw 5 options that will likely be in the bullpen mix later on this year, leading me to believe there was probably a scout in attendance for this one.  Jason Isringhausen started the 6th, and gave up a run on one hit and 2 walks in his 2/3 inning, before Russ Springer struck out the only batter he faced to get out of the jam.  Aroldis Chapman, Danny Ray Herrera, and Jared Burton all pitched a scoreless inning after that.  With almost all of these guys pitching like they could be viable options down the stretch, could the Reds actually have a bullpen surplus? (Also, let's not forget that Jose Arredondo gets thrown in here next season. Lots of pitchers.)  Up next: Sam LeCure will hope that this start doesn't get rained out or Cueto'd at 7:05.
  • Carolina was off.  They'll take on Jacksonville at 7:15 with the starter TBA.
  • Lynchburg beat Salem 9-3 with a strong outing from Chase Ware.  Ware went 5 innings of 2-run ball, and Kyle Day led the offense going 3-for-5.  6 different Hillcats drove in at least one run.  Up next: Lance Janke takes on Frederick at 7.
  • Dayton was off.  Justin Walker takes the hill against Bowling Green at 7.
  • Billings won a rain-shortened game 9-0 in 5 inningsTanner Robles got the start and was decent, pitching all 5 innings and giving up 3 hits and a walk.  He's brought his ERA down to 4.78, but he still has some work to do.  Billy Hamilton and Jefry Sierra had 2 hits each to lead the offense, and Yorman Rodriguez drove in 2 runs.  Up next: The Mustangs get a day off.
  • The AZL Reds completed the organization-wide sweep with a 14-0 win over the AZL BrewersJonathan Correa pitched 6 shutout innings with 7 strikeouts, and Doug Salinas and El'Hajj Muhammad closed it out.  Danny Hernandez was the big story in this one, going 5-for-5 with a homer, and David Vidal, Stephen Hunt, and Samuel Diaz had 3 hits each as well.  Up next: The A-Reds take on the AZL Giants at 10.

To recap, that's a 4-0 record, and outscoring your opponents 51-9 on one day (5-0 record, 63-13 score if you count the big league club).  That's as dominating a performance by the Reds as I've seen.

Hopefully the AAA guys keep raking and give Walt some big-time trade chips for the offseason

any chance Arredondo helps in the bigs this year?

I loved that signing. Little risk, high possible reward. If Chapman can make it as a starter, then hopefully Arredondo can replace Coco when his awesome contract is up.

Doubt it

He’s just starting his rehab in games now, and the bullpen choices are numerous so they probably won’t push him.

The good news is that he’ll probably be completely ready by next ST

is he on the 60-man DL? Or a minor league deal?

Classy Cardinals Reprise!

I hope to construct a music video montage of classy St. Louis Cardinal moments, perhaps setting it to Mariah Carey's "Hero."

Please take a moment to find the classiest incidents in recent Cardinal history, and link to an article covering the event, or video or pictures if you can find them. And if you just have a ridiculous photo of a recent Cardinal, please post a link here to the highest resolution image you can find. 

I think we can all learn from such a classy organization. Let's give it a try.
And you thought I missed that..

Thanks for a wonderful evening.
Given the circumstances you were overly gracious!
