Have there been any updates on the Television Broadcast. Nothing on WLW.

They just showed a replay and are now guessing maybe he just started getting ill. Looked like he was going to his mouth and trying to wave off the trainers. Still no official word from the clubhouse.

Reds got the win over Haren, which gives them one of the two real difficult matchups on this road trip. They'll roll out Arroyo to face Peavy in San Diego Sunday afternoon, but luckily, the Fathers can't hit either.

Tonight the Diamondbacks bring up Augenstein, who will make his MLB debut. Augenstein is 5-0 with a 0.78 ERA.

... at AA Mobile.

He's a 2007 draft pick that had never pitched above A-ball before this season, and a Florida Gator.

If the Reds keep up the patient hitting approach, work the count, put the ball in play, and stay aggressive on the basepaths, they should be able to take this one barring a turd from Cueto or a return to early April-form by Lincoln or Burton.

Highly touted Augenstein gets the call
Arizona (13-21) vs. Cincinnati (19-14), 6:40 p.m. MST

PHOENIX -- Bryan Augenstein brings his blinding Minor League credentials to The Show, as the 22-year-old right-hander is booked to make his Major League debut in the series finale against the Reds on Wednesday.

Augenstein's numbers are imposing: He went 5-0 with an 0.78 ERA at Double-A Mobile, with a 31-to-6 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Just don't expect the 2007 seventh-round Draft choice to be imposing, warned the former Arizona vice president of player development who brought him into and nurtured him in the organization.

"He may not be as dominant as people like to see. He puts a lot of balls in play, so we'll need to play good defense behind him," said A.J. Hinch, who has progressed to D-backs manager.

Of course, the Reds are a team that could go cold and make Augenstein look like a stud too, which has been the M.O. the past 10 years, so I'm not chalking up any wins before they're signed, sealed and delivered with this bunch. They're still the Reds. :lol:

2 things

  1. Normally I don't mind the the D-backs...but I really hope we slam the door closed on this series with a sweep now.
  2. Oh God no, this is the perfect opening for Thom to start talking about Tebow. I can't believe I'm hoping for the cowboy to be broadcasting the game over him.
