Bump on the bump for the Iron Pigs. That needed to be said.
But maybe not twice.

Sliding Billy with two hits, two runs scored and stolen base # 51. Josh Smith has pitched 5 scoreless frames, giving up 4 hits, walking noone while striking out 7. His ERA is down to 1.61.
Louisville vs Lehigh Valley
Top of the Third:
Reineke walks
Cozart lines out
Sappelt doubles (Reineke to third)
Alonso K's swinging
Mes singles (both runners score, Mes to second on the throw)
Hermida grounds out
3-1 Bats
Dayton has a 5-0 lead after six innings in game one of their doubleheader.
Hamilton: 2-for-3 triple, SB #51
Yorman: 0-for-2 walk
Duran: 1-for-3
Josh Smith: 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K
Pigs up 6-3 after 4.
Only 2 of the 6 runs are earned.
Bats get the lead back quickly:
# Chad Reineke singles on a ground ball to second baseman Josh Barfield.
# Zack Cozart strikes out swinging.
# Dave Sappelt homers (5) on a fly ball to right field. Chad Reineke scores.
# Yonder Alonso singles on a fly ball to left fielder Brandon Moss.
# Devin Mesoraco pops out to third baseman Jeff Larish in foul territory.
# Jeremy Hermida homers (5) on a fly ball to right center field. Yonder Alonso scores
Sappelt is 3 for 3 with a 2B and a HR
I would hope that, even though he missed a decent chunk of time, if he continues to hit the Reds will give him a callup this year.

All this talk of Alonso, Cozart, and Sappelt when he's been healthy and Hermida has been the most consistent and might be the first call up the way Walt likes the vets. Didn't really get a fair shot his first time.
Janish is cheaper and provides value off the bench as a defensive replacement. I'd trade Renteria for whatever I could get for him. Maybe Tampa Bay would be willing to give up something for him. I could even see Detroit trying to plug him in at 2B.
