Can’t Tell The Players Without A Program!
If you're going to a Reds game soon, make sure you buy a program so you can keep up with the comings and goings at GABP. Or at least read red-hot-mama.com before you go. Let's break it down by department…
“Hey, What Happened To…?” Department:
Juan Castro, 15-day DL retroactive to Friday; Marcus McBeth, optioned to Louisville; and Ricky Stone, designated for assignment (DFA).
“Hey, Who's The New Guy?” Department:
Jared Burton, reinstated from DL; Kirk Saarloos and Jeff Keppinger, recalled from Louisville.
“Poetic Justice” Department:
Rob Butcher fired, replaced by RHM.
Well, just kidding with that last one…but we can dream, can't we?

I’m glad to see Keppinger up; I was stunned at his AVG when I saw him in Indy on the fourth of July.
I’m also glad to see Castro off the field, though I wouldn’t have minded something a bit more permanent.
Yeah, just imagine…they kept Keppinger in Louisville all year just so that they could have Moeller in the majors accomplishing nothing except to ruin any chance of Valentin having a sensational year.
So RHM, you get your wish, Javy’s restored to good graces. And smartelf gets his wish, Ricky Stone’s outta here. Ya’ll must be liking Pete right about now. 😎
