Farmers Only: A suddenly crowded pitching staff

Stay connected for news and updates


Homer Bailey and Aroldis Chapman both had relatively successful rehab outings last night.  Sam LeCure seems ready to return.  Dontrelle Willis is throwing rocks.  A month ago this team was desperate for an arm that would stay attached for a few innings, and now Walt and Dusty have some major decisions to make about the Reds pitching.  We all know what Justisarrian0070000000 would do.  What about you?

  • Louisville lost 6-3Zack Cozart keeps showing how useless AAA numbers are.  He was 2-5 with double.  Devin Mesoraco was 1-3 with a double and a walk, and Juan Francisco hit 2 homers.  Homer Bailey threw 6 rehab innings, giving up 3 runs.  Rick Sweet said he looked good and ready to return to the big leagues. Aroldis Chapman threw a perfect inning with 1 strikeout.  He threw 13 pitches, 7 for strikes.  Up Next: Daryl Thompson gets the always fun 11:45 am start.
  • Carolina, Bakersfield, and Dayton are all on their all star breaks.
  • Billings won 17-1.  Stalin Gerson, recently demoted from Dayton, threw 6 shutout innings with 5 strikeouts.  Lots and lots of players had lots and lots of hits in this one.  Personal favorite Kyle Waldrop was 2-5 with a triple and a walk. Up Next: They have a 10:05 start.
  • AZL Reds won 11-7.  Again, lots of hitting.  I encourage you to check out the boxscore.  Lucas O'Rear had it rough, giving up 4 runs in just 3.2 IP.
