Didi with a HR on his first MLB pitch and a double.

Quite the debut.

Do the Reds not play at the Major League level anymore?

3-0 in extra-inning games this season. They're playing hard-nosed baseball and its a long season with Hill, Kubel, Bloomquist, and Hudson nursing injuries. Looking forward to some fun baseball this season.

That's great but it kind of pales in comparison to what Buck Showalter's team has done. They've now won 17 straight extra inning games. Unbelievable.

Damn....that was probably my stupidest post ever on this board. And I've had plenty of them.

He caught one in LF as well later in the game.

He is a fan of Heath Bell, which is why he wore the D'backs outfit.

Personally, I am not a fan of the Heath Bell Experience thus far this season. Even when he gets them out, it is an adventure.

At least we scored 4 in the 12th to avoid a sweep. Now it's a late night trip to Denver.

Is that the guy that's caught hundreds of home run balls over the years?

Should have had 2 in this series. Game 2 was painful to watch. The end anyway.

Onto the frozen tundra of Colorado.

That's why they call it the experience. I'm not a fan either, every time he comes in I Hold my breath. I really don't have any confidence in him. When he comes in I say to myself "hmm, guess we don't REALLY want to win this one."

At least we aren't paying that much for Bell. He's a good case why you shouldn't overpay for closers on the FA market (*cough* Marlins). Especially ones in their mid 30's.

Yes. He ought to be a fielding coach on a Minor League team. He knows right where to position himself. I say Minor League because he does give the impression of being an over-egotistical flake when the camera is on him.

Starting Rotation = $16 Million
Heath Bell = $10 Million

They gave us $8 million for him, so we are saying him $6 million this year and $7 million next year. So, if you look at it that way, only Putz makes more in the bullpen and next season they will make the same next year. That is way to much for a team that has budget constraints.

The right field porch at Yankee Stadium has always been a left-handers dream... Not sure if that ball would've gone out at Chase, or any other park... However, he drilled it nonetheless and I really like his aggressive approach!!

It didn't go into the porch though. Pretty sure it would have gone out in Chase.
