Farmers Only Weekend Harvest: Taylor Trammell Is All You Need

Brandon Larson Honorary Star Of The Weekend

Taylor Trammell - The Reds future CF had himself a helluva 2019 debut. He walked thrice on Thursday, singled and scored on Friday, walked and dingered on Saturday, and singled and dingered on Sunday.

In four games, that’s four walks, two dingers, and four total RBI. Remember, he’s also fast. he can also play CF. Cleveland wanted him for Corey Kluber and the Reds balked.

Here’s a video of his homer on Sunday if you need something to get your Monday in gear.

Friday

Louisville Bats 3, Toledo Mud Hens 4

Lucas “Films” Sims was not good. He gave up 3 earned runs over 3 innings on 7 hits, 3 walks, and 4 strikeouts. Jesus “Saves” Reyes picked up his pitcher though, and so did the rest of the bullpen. Reyes pitched 2 scoreless with 2 strikeouts, “Slippery” Sal Romano also came out of the pen and struck out 3 in 2 scoreless. I forgot Sal Romano existed honestly. Brian “Beef” O’Grady went 2 for 2 with 2 RBI and 2 walks. That’s a lot of twos. Blake “The Snake” Trahan went 2 for 4 with a double and a walk.

Chattanooga Lookouts 1, Montgomery Biscuits 3

Jose Siri also hit a homer, though it was of the inside the park variety, when he scorched a pitch to center field. The center fielder banged off the wall (was shaken up) and Siri came racing around the bases with head first slide. It all counts, folks. He was also 2 for 5 with 3 RBI total.
