Layne had a tough outing on monday pitching 2/3 of an inning giving up 5 hits and 4 runs. Prior to that he had an outstanding spring not allowing a run in six innings. He was sent to their minor league camp yesterday.
You can assume that mom and dad are on their way and flying to New York and that the only question is whether or not they actually will need a plane to get there...
Could not happen to a better young man! Hope he get's enough exposure during the stint there. Don't know how long the "paternity leave" will last or what the Reds intend to do at that time. Go Layne!!!!
Layne has been recalled to the majors by the Reds! That's great news especially when you consider what the manager said about calling him back up from Louisville. He talked about the timing in that the bull pen is basically shorthanded, and that is the time in the season when they need eight relievers instead of seven. Another player (not a pitcher) was sent down to Louisville to make roster for an eighth pitcher. It seems to be reasonable that Layne is going to see some action...it will just be hard to predict when that will be (which makes it tough on his parents, and on his fans). The Reds won tonight 3-2, and used three relievers. That could bode well for seeing Layne sooner than later (I hope!)
