Javy hurt; minor league report (update)

Javy Valentin left the game in the sixth after running to first on a single. Paul Bako went in for him. Ryan Hanigan better get that early flight from Syracuse.

He has a strained left hamstring. He'll be re-evaluated tomorrow morning.

Louisville and Chattanooga were both rained out. David Ross went 1-for-2 for Sarasota in a 6-3 loss. Dayton lost 5-4.

John, any word on why Dunn was lifted so early?

Ross is to come off April 14. Nothing on Dunn. But I think he's been sick the lasr couple of days.

It looked like he sprained it when swung at a pitch.He grabbed it before he stepped into the batters box.

Catcher situation looking dire.

RISP avg. :-(

6 runners left on base with 9 hits=4 runs.Come on Jacoby,earn that paycheck.

Of course When Fogg gave them a 3 run head start,it makes it that much harder to catch up.Playing catch up all night.Affedlt your guilty too.

John-
What happens if Bako goes down(During this game),then what?

1.Hatty
2.Freel

Two names that come to mind.

Good golly,Coffey's trying his best Stanton impression. Letting the Phillies have more cushion.

He is just to predictable,hitters know what's coming.

Man,
Fogg's debut looked a lot more familiar than Cueto's did!
Now that's the kind of pitching we Reds fans have come to expect out of our ball club!

Looks like The Amazing Krivsky has struck again with another garbage pile pitcher, Josh Fogg. Looks like the Kirk Saarloos for this season.
ST CSA

Fogg is a 500 pitcher, we knew that, which hopefully means he wins the next one.

CSA, "another Krivsky garbage heap pitcher"?

Do you think good pitchers are lined up out there and Krivs just swinging and missing?

Said it before, only way the Reds win is by picking up a couple retreads that are ready to have career years. How do you do that?
You bring em in, dont pay them mutch, and see what they can do. If they suck, theyre gone, and you bring in another one.

Worked for BP, Hatteberg, Hamilton
Looks like it may work for Volquez

What do you want? Krivsky to bat .1000?

Any way, I was at the Ross game vs Miracle in Ft Myers, Ross looked fine, only played thru the 6th, hit was a liner up the middle. Solid.

Drew Stubbs had a nice rope down left field line for an rbi double. Popped up and out in the
9th though with a runner on 2nd down by 2. Looked fine in the field.

Thank you for the minor league report. Please keep it going, and if you can could you show box scores. if it is to hard , I understand. Thanks

It has been a tough year on catchers. Earlier in the week I called Patterson a punch and judy hitter without much punch. Was I wrong? Yes I was. I am going to give him a chance, especially since his sac fly, something we do not see too often from the Reds.

I have to believe John has it right and Dunn was sick. Hope it is just a 24 hour bug and nothing serious with the big man! We fans have got to give Fogg a couple more shots to get going. He sure did not look like the same pitcher we saw on the tube late last year!
