UD, next time I am down your way I am going to make a point to get with you!

I will look forward to it!

According to fans on Twitter Francisco Mejia is spraying lasers all over the field tonight.

Krieger back in lineup.

Krieger is back but Chang and Leone were both out after being hit by pitches the day before.

Any word on Gio?

My notes from Monday box scores:

Mejia's 5th double and singled lifted him over 200. Single for Eric Haase.

Bradley two singles, two walks, still only at 173. And his first steal. Chiang 5 6 2 2 2 5 1.64

Little of note for Lychburg, 6-1 losers. Tully 4 2/3 8 4 4 2 4 4.73

Will Benson's 6th homer and a walk forget the batting average OPS 829; Ernie Clement 9th double; Kirk McCarty decent start 7 6 3 3 1 7 7.33 but falling

I searched for internet reports on Gio last night and found none. 10 days to clear waivers before Indians can resign him I think. In the meantime teams can make claims and we can try to make a deal.

Today's Starters:

Bieber 1-0 1.50
Paulson 1-0 0.00
Thomas B. Dewey no record
same guy going for Lake County

BA highlights:

CLE AA Bradley, Bobby 1B 3 0 2 2 .183 2 BB (12), SB (1)

CLE AA Mathias, Mark 2B 3 0 0 0 .266 2 BB (15), CS (1)
CLE AAA Haase, Eric C 4 0 1 1 .267

CLE HiA Capel, Conner CF 4 0 0 0 .294
CLE LoA Benson, Will RF 3 1 1 1 .209 HR (6), BB (23) would be a league-leading total at upper levels, but about 10th here where plenty of pitchers aren't very good.
CLE LoA Clement, Ernie SS 5 0 1 0 .333 2B (9)
CLE LoA Gonzalez, Oscar LF 4 0 1 0 .248
as usual no pitchers

Clip Show starts early today, with Bieber toe'ing rubber. Scoreless in the 3rd right now.

OF Melky Cabrera assigned to Columbus from extended spring training

RHP Louis Head placed on the 7-day DL

RHP Cameron Mingo assigned to Lake County from Akron

RHP Felix Tati promoted to Lynchburg

RHP Louis Head placed on the 7-day DL He's had a terrible season. Could be at the end of the line of an undistinguished career.

RHP Cameron Mingo assigned to Lake County from Akron: every year they obviously work out ahead of time that are a few guys who will be playing the circuit, assigned from team to team to team to fill gaps. Mingo is one of those this year. But here's a strange part: stats only show that he's pitched for the Ducks although he's been moving up and down and around. He's a Princeton graduate who probably likes to travel.

RHP Felix Tati promoted to Lynchburg: maybe because he's pitched well in Lake County: 14 1/3 14 3 3 3 19 21 year old righty

Bieber gave up 7 hits in 6.2 IP today, and 2 earned. 4 K and no walks.

one of those kids morning games? He's not perfect in AAA, just very good.

Yandy back in the lineup 0-3 a walk 2K
Mejia back below 200 0-3 2K
Chiang back from his hbp, 1-4 1k
Melky his first hit of the season 1-4
One of the runs off Bieber was a homer by old friend Ronny Rodriguez

lake County underway; TBD turns out to be Elijah Morgan, who should be finding him way to Lynchburg soon
