This is true. You really can’t speak enough about the job Maile and Casali have done with a young, ever changing and at times struggling pitching staff. The other night on the radio Brantley discussed this a bit and even pointed out that it really exposes Stephenson’s struggles in the area at times. It puts the Reds in a tough place of dealing with growing pains by letting Stephenson learn in the fire or doing what is most successful everyday. This is true too. Diaz and Sims had gone consecutive days and Bell will rarely push a reliever to 3 day. Giabut had thrown 20+ the day before which Bell also likes to avoid the day after with that. The good news is it sets up a really fresh bullpen the rest of the way in KC.

There are no state mandated 30 day wait periods for coaching positions. It must be a school policy.

FACTS! However my point was more to the fact that schools make it nearly impossible to fail now. I work in one everyday and have seen this firsthand.

I think a kid being able to have continuous academic eligibility issues given todays standards speaks volumes.

I think he’ll be fine, kids pretty tough. Plus by the time he’s on campus QBs may be wearing flags.

He’s pretty good.

Holy Elly!

just the stance that he’s not playing tonight.

You’re clearly a dedicated student of the game…

I mean, Larson wasn’t really an all-world #1 draft pick. All draft picks in baseball are a tossup and when you get down in the teens or below it’s even more of a toss up. Elly wasn’t a draft pick at all. Elly is viewed as a true 5-tool guy with elite speed, which Larson never was. Everyone fell in love with Larson’s 400+ ft triple A homers. Elly was also recently viewed as the top prospect in all of baseball by some important names, but Larson only reached that status within the organization. I do agree that we have to wait and see how it all pans out, but in the meantime I’m going to have a blast being a fan in exciting times.

Same. Herro himself has questioned this.

When do you think he’s coming back?

Yes sir.

There’s our answer on when he comes up.

That whole thing didn't make sense to me. They found a place for you to stay. Given the situation, seems they should have been grateful.

Brangers is Reed's boy. He will follow him or not coach I'd guess.

Guess they better put their bib on.

They will be Royals.

Montgomery isn’t in the lead at all, not even close.

This.

If he did, people should vote differently on who the best player in the state is based on him not playing in a useless exhibition game?

This is a valid point. Hadn’t considered Super 2 status.

Bringing them up now has no impact on their arbitration clock, unless they aren’t going to bring them up to start next year either. If that’s the case, those in charge may be in actual physical danger.

I agree he’s done a ton of good, but why is he classified as uneducated?

He doesn’t make a lick of difference on the success of the season, but you have to wonder how long they can keep him down there. National writers have latched onto his success on its now well known. #1 prospect in all of baseball and does something exciting every night it seems. Bringing him up now doesn’t impact starting his clock because it’s late enough in the season and there is absolutely zero chance they get away with starting him down next year.
