Unfortunately David pitched himself back to Memphis today. He gave up two walks, one hit and a long lineout in his four batters. He was all over the place and the velocity was down. He will get a chance to get back to form and may get a call back later in the year.

It wasn't pretty (posted the same in the original thread).

Better news for Cingrani who in a split squad game (with the other game televised) has gone 3.0 thus far with 2 hits, 1 BB, 3Ks, 0 runs.

Hope David finds success, but he'll need to find some new life in his arm. When I watched him yesterday he topped out at 92 but was mostly 87-89 when throwing strikes, and his offspeed stuff showed little action.

Through 5.0 innings Tony has given up 5 hits, 1 run (earned), 2 BB, 5K....of course the run came on a HR (he has sort of become the 21st Century Bert Blyleven giving up HRs but mostly of the solo variety).

Well this visage of Tony Cingrani is all sorts of fantastic. http://grantland.com/features/2014-nl-central-preview/ … pic.twitter.com/Xy1P4oCa9N

Through 6.0 still same line for Tony. Tony hitting in B6 and sac bunts.

Oh yeah. Let's publish it here...

Tuesday is going to be really tough. Game 2, Cards vs Reds, Wacha against Cingrani, Aggies against Owls.

Final line for Tony....7.0 5H 1R (HR) 2 BB 6Ks
Haven't seen the pitch breakdown yet but midway through his outing he was running better than 2 to 1 strikes vs balls

Just sent my contract retentions in for my NL fantasy league (going since 1981 - Fourth Floor League - where it started at Sid Rich), and Tony Cingrani and Anthony Rendon are on the list (mid-season pickups last year).
