Just got word from a friend of the family that Justin Lehr was told to pack his bags in Louisville because he'll make his first ever major league start against the Rockies on Friday night.
He's not on the 40 man so I imagine someone will be removed in the next 24 hours.
Insider McClain!!! Got a nice ring to it.
I wonder if Larry Luebbers will throw out the honorary first pitch?Originally Posted by jmcclain19

Fay has been saying it has to be Lehr for a couple of days.
I heard Tom Shearn will be catching the first pitch from Luebbers..I wonder if Larry Luebbers will throw out the honorary first pitch?
"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball. Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms, the game of ball is glorious"
-Walt Whitman
Reds Twitter feed is now saying Lehr is tomorrow's starter. No mention of corresponding move from the 25 man roster. I expect one of the DL guys goes to 60 day DL to make room on the 40, probably Lincoln, if he's not there already.

Awesome!!
Go BLUE!!!
At this point, meh.
Dubito Ergo Cogito Ergo Sum.
Hopefully Willy T's injury is so serious he goes on the 60 day and then Dr. Kremcheck carves him up like a Thanksgiving turkey.
Where we gonna go?
Like FCB said, Lehr is the de facto ace of the staff for now.
We better extend him and lock him up long-term then, no?
After we sign Homer long term and buy out his first 2 years of arbitration. Think of the cost certainty.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
Glad to see Lehr get the chance. He deserves it.
At which point he'll be handed the starting CF job for next season. Carved up or not, the dude is fast.
How do we know he's not Mel Torme?
