2 Cleveland pitchers were chosen in the Rule 5 draft;
both relievers: Kevin Kelly made the Tampa opening day roster. Nic Enright I'm sorry to see is on the Marlins' IL with lymphoma

Kelly pitched 2 innings, allowed 1 run, in the middle of a Rays annhilation of the tiger-cubs. That's not much of a test but he passed it well enough

Noting the Rays-Tigers series while looking at Kelly's debut, I note that the composite score for the 3 game set was:
Tampa 21 Detroit 3. At least Detroit got a successful field goal

The AZ Diamondbacks asked a bankruptcy court tonight to compel Diamond Sports to pay the club owed rights fees or terminate the contract. The move follows MLB's similar motion yesterday on behalf of the Guardians and Twins

Where's everybody?

For anyone who may be a bit concerned about the inconsistancy of Civale and Quantrill, the injury to McKenzie and the ineptitude of Pleasc, the trio of Tanner Bibee, Gavin Williams and Logan Allen in their first starts on Thursday and Friday combined line was:

14 7 0 0 3 21

Go with the kids!

Go with the kids!

I'm confiident that Plesac is not long for the rotation. Q has a job to lose. Civale has a job to re-claim

I see a post every few days. It looks the forum is about done.

It has been entertaining.

Battenfield up.

As usual, Civale injured.

He's done. The top pitching prospects will get their big tests sooner than perhaps anticipated

The new color of this forum is very hard for me to read. It also seems that it is harder to find new posts. Ryan you know i I greatly appreciate how much time and effort you have put into this forum but can we make any adjustments ? Thanks.

Just now seen the unread post button ! Ryan that was quick ! Sorry about not seeing that feature before now,

I'd be happy if somehow the text can appear darker. It's tough for aging eyes.

Reds optioned OF Will Benson to Triple-A Louisville.

The 24-year-old is being sent out to make room for Nick Senzel (toe) on the active roster. He was a disaster in 21 plate appearances with the Reds to start the season, going just 1-for-20 (.050) with a 12/1 K/BB ratio. He'll continue to hone his craft at the Triple-A level until he's called upon again.
