Transactions:Today the Reds placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Friday, IF Juan Castro (sprained right elbow);

 

optioned to Louisville RHP Marcus McBeth;

 

designated for assignment RHP Ricky Stone;

 

recalled from Louisville RHP Kirk Saarloos and IF Jeff Keppinger;

 

returned from a rehabilitation assignment and reinstated from the 15-day disabled list RHP Jared Burton (low back spasms).

 

Good to see the Ricky Stone era officially over.

 

I think McBeth is going to be a very good reliever.

 

I guess if a guy is hitting .370 at AAA you have to get him up here.

Interesting lineup. BP hitting cleanup? Against a righty? You'd think one of the lefthanded OFs who have hit 20+ homers might be in that spot. The highest avg hitter hitting 6th. Freel goes from 6th to 2nd for no apparent reason. At least the pitcher is in the 9 hole. Anymore ya never know:lol:

Phillips is hotter than anyone period it doesn't matter where you put him. I like him right there for now.

Well it does matter where you put him. He may get one more AB say in the 2 hole. I'm not saying I dislike the lineup. Its just a little different.

He will get more chances to drive in runs in that position.

You may be right there. Still like my hottest guy up in the lineup to catch an extra AB and be on base for the boppers. Hindsight's 20/20 so we'll see.

I don't really care where BP hits, I don't want Freel in the lineup.

Well Pete loves Freel so get used to it.

RHs are batting .212. Leftys .284 against Webb.

Well Pete loves Freel so get used to it.

 

I know, I know, I will stop complaining about it eventually. :lol:

 

Maybe Freel can dip below 200 and that will be enough of a message.

Webb has allowed 2 runs in 15 inning pitched at GABP.

Nice start for Homer 1-2-3 with 2Ks:banana:

That was an okay 1st inning for the savior. :lol:

He will get more chances to drive in runs in that position.

BPs 1st chance to drive in runs ; Ks;)
