Thanks DD.

[dougdirt]

Thanks DD.

Hopefully Cueto has better control tonight.

I would be surprised if that games get in really... there are supposed to be scattered thunderstorms all night in Sarasota. Maybe they get lucky though and get it in.

I don't post much in this forum, but I read it quite often. I just wanted to say thanks to you guys who make this forum so good. I have learned a ton about the kids and owe it all to you guys.

Keep it up, please!

Chattanooga is currently being delayed.

[dougdirt]

Oh, that win also makes Sarasota 5-0 on the season.

[dougdirt]

I have to go out for about an hour, if anyone wants to keep up to date or give updates feel free.

I'll be here to give updates.

[RedsFanatic]

How much time do you guys expect Jay to spend in Sarasota? I know it's early but he has absolutely been killing the ball. IMO He deserves a promotion to Chattanooga if he keeps tearing the cover off the ball during the next month.

I think both Jay Bruce and Johnny Cueto will be in Chattanooga by June, July at the latest.

Nice job with the updates OBM.

Jay is hitting the ball well. I expect him in Chattanooga by Mid-June as long as he keeps hitting.

Joey Votto was starting to worry my with the lack of walks through the first bunch of games, but maybe I had 'small sample size' worries.

[Aronchis]

I wouldn't push Bruce to hard this year. If he starts showing alot of walks and power, then by all means.

[OnBaseMachine]

Dumatrait: 6 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 6 GO/7 FO

[Aronchis]

Cueto not with a overly impressive start. I can see why they left him in high A for awhile. It seemed to work with Bailey last year.

Pelland 5ip, 2h, 2bb, 3 Unearned runs, 2k, 1 HR. 9-4 GO-FO

Dumatrait or Milton:devil:

[dougdirt]

Give me Dumatrait. I know what Milton can do and its not good. I would rather take a gamble that Dumatrait can be better.

Need you even ask ?

[reds44]

Not a good start for J.C.

[dougdirt]

Louisville wins 4-2

[Kc61]

Give me Dumatrait. I know what Milton can do and its not good. I would rather take a gamble that Dumatrait can be better.

Dumatrait is one to watch this year. He seems to break in slowly when he advances levels. Last year he didn't do that well at AAA. But he is now a few years post-injury and could be ready soon. He is very tough against lefties so at minimum could be a long man out of the pen, but Reds may also see him as a starter.

[dougdirt]

Just a side note here, but Jay Bruce now has a 6 game hitting streak

[turn2]

Hey guys new to the forum wondering what yall think of micheal griffen, he is from my home town and gave my son hitting lessons over the winter, nice guy seems to be a good utility player.
