Don't see a thread, so here is one.
Marc is taking the day off, so I don't have the line-ups to post yet either.
Game starts in 15.

Nuxhall on the mic w/ Marty. Talking up Claussen at the moment, based on how he has looked this spring.
If I don't get a day off....Marc doesn't either!!!Originally Posted by membengal
oh well...lead off double down the first base line
Opening double for Adams past Dunn and down the RF line. No chance for Dunn to get to it.
Aaron Hill up for Toronto.
Fly ball for first out, runner still one 2nd.
They are hoping Claussen can go for around 65 pitches or four innings today. Jimmy Journell expected to pitch later in the game.
top of the first
Adams - lead off double down first base line
Hill - fly out to Kearns (does not advance Adams)
Hillebrand - diving grab by Kearns...throws Adams out at second base too!
Heck of a play by Kearns
Freel fly out, Womack ground out, EE an infield hit to 2b side of second which will make the insane person on Marc's blog comments section happy, then an infield hit-ruled error gets Dunn on. Two on, two out, Aurilia up.
Freel - lineout to CF
Womack - grounds to SS
Encarnacion - infield base hit
Dunn - on by error at 2B (Marty thought it was a hit)
Two men on, two out for:
Aurilia - flies out to right.
0-0 end of one.
"Enjoy this Reds fans, you are watching a legend grow up before your very eyes" ... DoogMinAmo on Adam Dunn
bottom of the 1st
Freel - flyout to CF
Womack - missed it...but he got out
Encarnacion - infield base hit to 2B
Dunn - reaches on an error by the 2B
Aurilia - flies out
end of 1: 0-0
Aurilia flies out. I will refrain from a passive aggressive comment about the scrappiness of his flyout.
Sorta.
0-0 at the end of the first.
I will take a moment to note that, even for the spring, I don't understand why Aurilia would be batting in the 5th slot, and Kearns 6th, but, hey, it is what it is.
it was to RF so he wasn't up there only playing for himself and trying to jerk a HR out to left.Originally Posted by membengal
