Would love to have TexasDave post a better one.... but in the meantime....
AAA - Louisville - Mariot pitching for Louisville. Not sure if this is a fake name from someone staying in the local hotel, or maybe Steve Marriott who's here to administer some Humble Pie to Toledo. (Probably not since he died in 1991. Cross him off the list, then)
AA - Chattanooga - Nick Lodolo takes the mound, and surprisingly his opponent sports an even better ERA. Yesterday was 1-0 Lookouts, So we may be in for more of the same.
High A - Dayton - Spencer Stockton has been hit hard last 3 times out. Will try to get off the Schneid. In honor of TD here is where "Get off the Schnied" comes from.
To be “on the schneid” means to be on a losing streak, racking up a series of losing, and especially scoreless, games. “Schneid” is actually short for “schneider,” a term originally used in the card game of gin, meaning to prevent an opponent from scoring any points. “Schneider” entered the vocabulary of gin from German (probably via Yiddish), where it means “tailor.” Apparently the original sense was that if you were “schneidered” in gin you were “cut” (as if by a tailor) from contention in the game. “Schneider” first appeared in the literature of card-playing about 1886, but the shortened form “schneid” used in other sports is probably of fairly recent vintage.
Low A - Daytona - Case Wiliams tries to finally show the promise Reds saw in him when they traded for him. He was as HS guy last year, so he may need to rent an apartment for next year in Daytona.
