Szymanski is getting killed right now. He is going to have to figure something out. He can't make contact to save his life.

FYI

Per Lancaster Blog:

Matt Kata cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Louisville.

Not sure what they'll do with him there, as they seem to have enough infielders as it is between Bannon, Bergolla, Olmedo and Snyder, etc., but I guess we'll see.

Well. I cant say that was a surprise.

I thought the Wags article was interesting and I agree with your assement Geki. But at least he has a positive attitude. I like that he knows he should be in Cincy.

Szymanski is really struggling. Guess the Reds knew what they were doing leaving him in Dayton. Remember at the beginning of the season, he felt that he should be in Sarasota. Well, that will happen if you hit Low A ball pitching. He has hit the ball well when he has made contact. He just hasnt made contact that much.

i think its time for Germano to come and pitch with the Reds. He's pitching a great game tonight. Wake up narron and call this guy up!

Germano- 5IP, 2 Hits, 0 Runs,0 ER's,3 K's(still going)

Bailey is also pitching tonight. 4 IP,1 Hit, 2 BB's, 4 K's no Runs.
