Trade Off
Last spring (April 2012), the Atlanta Braves traded pitcher J.J. Hoover to the Reds for third baseman Juan Francisco.
The two went head to head today. Francisco ended up hitting a grand slam off Hoover, the first runs he’d given up in 11 innings.
Guess the Braves won the trade…for today, anyway.

Donald Thomas Lutz
March 2013 - Donald Lutz, the “Braunerhulk,” during a spring training game.
Lutz was called up today. He was in AA, and seemed a far ways from the show, but with Chris Heisey headed to the DL, the Reds were short of outfielders. Lutz was on the 40-man roster, and got the call.
Two Adams
March 2008 - Adam Dunn and Adam LaRoche. Dunn is headed back to the dugout after grounding out, and congratulates LaRoche on the putout on the way.
J-Soft
March 2012 - Paul Janish, nicknamed “J-Soft” by Chipper Jones, on deck during a spring training game.
Janish had shoulder surgery in the off-season and was on rehab assignment with the AAA Gwinnett Braves. But he’s missed several games due to “soreness” and today was removed from the G-Braves roster. Looks like he had some kind of setback.
Corky Miller
June 2012 - Louisville Bats catcher Corky Miller waves at a friend in the crowd.
The Reds called Miller up today, to take Ryan Hanigan’s spot on the roster. Hanigan’s been put on DL with an oblique strain.
Didi Gregorius
March 2012 - Slick-fielding shortstop Didi Gregorius ranges behind second base to turn an Eric Hosmer hit into a ground into double play.
Didi, now with the Diamondbacks, has been called up today, taking Aaron Hill’s spot on the roster. (Hill has a broken hand and is being DL’d)
Pickoff Attempt
March 4, 2013 - Sean Marshall holds the runner on.
After playing in only one game in two weeks, Marshall was put on the DL with shoulder tendinitis.
The Newest Mariner

Harang was traded to the Seattle Mariners today.
Happy Birthday, C-Dick!
June 2012 - Outfielder Chris Dickerson at bat during a SWB Yankees game.
Today’s is Dickerson’s birthday, and I’m guessing it’s a happy one. The Baltimore Orioles announced that they’re calling him up today.
