So is it Aviasail "The Truth" Garcia and Andre "The Truth " Rienzo now? Seems confusing having 2 players with the same nickname. I'd go with Andre "The Giant" Rienzo.

I'd go with Andre "The Giant" Rienzo. If he pitches on Halfway to St. Patrick's Day, he could be Andre "The Jolly Green Giant" Rienzo.

He's gotta stop walking people though. Welcome to developing rookie pitchers. At least one of his walks last night was simply "there's no one on base, Billy Butler is up, I'm going to throw him a bunch of pitches out of the zone and maybe he'll swing at something". It's totally the norm for a guy to come up and be intimidated when he's facing an all star for the first or second time and be overly careful to him. IIRC Rienzo also got himself in trouble and behind in the count when he had a runner on 1st who could steal and started throwing over there a lot.

Or seeing as Brazil boosts the largest iron ore mining company in the world he can be Andre " The Iron Giant " Rienzo. We had a Bronze Titan and have a Tank . I think i like it better than just "The Giant" seeing as I like The Iron Giant movie better than the wrestler.

Ha I thought of the Iron Giant because we were on a tangent starting with "The Truth", to "The Giant", to the Truth in Portuguese and jokingly questioned if the Portuguese word for "the truth" ( a verdade) was actually the Portugeuse word for green ( verde ) to the "Jolly Green Giant" to the "Iron Giant" and because of the movie. I decided to google iron production in Brazil for fun to see if it supported calling him the Iron Giant and low and behold it actually did. It was not common knowledge on my part at all .
