Twins feed will be the broadcast. Only Wednesday's(Red Sox) and Friday night's game against the Bucs will be broadcast until the weekend.

Re: 3/3/08 - Reds vs. Twins
Castro sure is playing alot for someone with no chance of making the team.
-
Re: 3/3/08 - Reds vs. Twins
maybe Norris will get a spring hit today ...
-
Re: 3/3/08 - Reds vs. Twins
Has there been a game yet this spring where the CFer hasn't led off?

I stilll fear a bunch of geezers(Castro, Stanton, Hatty, etc) are going to be around and playing a lot.
I hope I am wrong.

Even Jay Bruce led off the one game he played CF. It must be a rule in the manager's handbook.

What are the odds of Hatteberg and Castro both starting on Opening Day?

should be ZERO but it seems to me a 50/50 shot at the moment.

Hatteberg is the most likely to start between the two. I still can't imagine Castro being in the starting lineup but anything is possible.

Re: 3/3/08 - Reds vs. Twins
When Jeff Keppinger is in the lineup he should bat #1 or #2...

Dusty has had a penchant for playing vets. There is no denying it. The issue is whether it was more due to circumstance than anything else. I don't know the answer but we will find out. It should be a no-brainer that Bruce/Votto/Keppinger should be in the opening day lineup. However, I will believe it when I see it.

He will when he plays SS. Third basemen must hit in a power spot. That's also in the handbook.

Re: 3/3/08 - Reds vs. Twins
Why is Norris Hopper DH'ing when Dunn and Griffey are both in the lineup?
Seems odd to me.
I really doubt Castro is starting OD. I think he has about a 50/50 chance of making the team, sadly.

since it is likely Gonzo starts on the DL the odds are high that Castro will make the team(the other option would be Gil).

Raisor will be in hog heaven on OD. He's a HUGE fan of Juan Castro.

Haha the Twins radio announcer is really the guy from Little Big League, didn't know that.

Dusty had a lot of nice things to say about Dickerson today, saying he's made the most improvement during camp of anyone he's seen.

I can't wait to see if that actually happens. I'll be combing the archives to find all the threads where I was destroyed for even insinuating that Hatteberg might start over Votto after his option was picked up.

Re: 3/3/08 - Reds vs. Twins
Cuddyer reaches on an error by the other Phillips who is playing 2nd today.
Gomez scores.
1-1
give the RBI to Cuddyer.

Re: 3/3/08 - Reds vs. Twins
Morneau, who the Blue Jays announcers were big fans of yesterday, singles.
1st and 2nd
1 out, 1 in

Re: 3/3/08 - Reds vs. Twins
Young grounds one to Castro, out at 2nd but he beats the relay to first.
1st and 3rd two outs.

Re: 3/3/08 - Reds vs. Twins
Lamb grounds out to the other Phillips at 2nd.
Inning over
