Joey Yellen plays in first collegiate game and almost pulls off ASU miracle win

Arizona State offensive coordinator Rob Likens believes in miracles and that freshman quarterback Joey Yellen almost pulled one off Saturday.

“Playing in his first college game, other than one penalty-ended snap two weeks ago, Yellen nearly brought ASU back from a 28-7 deficit at Sun Devil Stadium. Even though he hurt his shoulder taking a sack on ASU's third offensive play and "couldn't hardly throw the football," Likens said. "He just toughed it out the rest of the game. 

"It was an unbelievable performance. I can't say enough about it."

Cincinnati Reds: Curt Casali is one of the best additions to this year’s team

When the Reds traded for Curt Casali on May 31, the reaction in a lot of circles was the same: Why?

Tony Cruz was backing up Tucker Barnhart after the trade of Devin Mesoraco. 

"I didn't know anything about Casali,"  Reds manager Jim Riggleman said. "I had seen the name through the years. To be honest, Tony Cruz was doing a good job. The front office had an eye on Casali for a while if there was a waiver situation or whatever. He was a guy they had been targeting for a while, so when became available they got him."

The Reds got Casali from Tampa Bay for cash considerations.  

No one is questioning the move at this point. Casali went into Saturday's game hitting .311/.407/.500 in with three home runs and nine RBI in 74 at-bats. The Reds are 12-6 in the games he starts…. Read more-
