    It's new. I've never noticed it before either.

    It's just not a tool set that's viable in the majors.

    It's a message in Sanskrit, warning Kremchek to stay away or face a multi-generation curse.

    Edit: Arrgh! missed the "left" forearm part.

    Definitely not. But you gotta believe in the stuff and think the natural ability will be worked out as he learns to pitch, something he's only been doing for a very short amount of time. Certainly tough to stomach at times though.

    I was hoping it was a reminder to throw strikes --- good thing you know Sanskrit

    Well...that was brief. What was that, 6 pitches?

    Lorenzen with a Cueto style quick pitch!

    Those young starters should soak up every bit of knowledge Cueto can spare...as quickly as they can.

    Soler is still young and I would bet on him making an impact, but he and Rusney Castillo so far are showing that not all Cuban hitters are automatically Cespedes, Puig, and Abreu.

    Like many Bengals seasons in the 90's......it was over early so beating the Steelers was what you got up for and only that.

    The Reds beating and kicking the Cubs out of contention is all that I am hoping for and prospects developing.

    And yes.... I know...Who cares about Football!
