Phillips (neck) had a scheduled day off today (along with Votto and Bruce) & is expected back in #Reds lineup on Friday

Bryan Price said he’d be ready to announce Opening Day starter in the next day or so. All signs, of course, point to DeSclafani


Looks like the Rangers are the opponent- not that that really matters at all.

[TRF]

Glad to see Rodriguez in there. He had a good game a couple of days ago. Hopefully he's going to build on that.

Would rather have seen Schebler than Cave though, but 2 days off might ease him out of his funk.

Reds trail 5-0 in the 6th. Suarez has the Reds only hit though Y-Rod, Cave and Cozart have walked. Disco has given up 5 runs through 5 with 0 walks, 5 k's
Disco still on the mound in the 6th (73 pitches so far). The runs came on a 3 run homer by Beltre and a 2 run homer by Ruggiano.

Rough spring for Disco from a hit/HR perspective, not too worried though.

[sdwagers]

Moreland just killed a ball into RF that would be in top rows of the moon deck at GABP...

Disco is becoming Brad Radke....

[sdwagers]

Ruggino just hit his second blast of the day ... About 415 dead center...

[texasdave]

Tony Disco dedicated today's performance to Bronson Arroyo.

Bad Kyle, come on down.

[Tom Servo]

Jeez, two more HRs allowed after I express confidence in him? Hate to see what he would have done if I said I was worried.

[sdwagers]

Jumbo just gave up a HR to the NASA space program... #73 (missed the name) launched one into orbit. Never saw it come down... Sigh..

[TheBigLebowski]

I don't think Jumbo Diaz is good at baseball and his ability to pitch effectively causes me concern. I'd like it better if he were more apt to getting opposing hitters out. He seems to struggle in that regard. But I think he's probably a nice guy and I bet he would share his ice cream.

[klw]

I'm never too concerned during this phase of ST as dead arms can be rampant.

Disco strikes out Wilson, ends his day. 5.2 IP, 9 H, 8 R, 8 ER, 6 SO, 0 BB, 4 HR. 92 pitches, 65 strikes.

DeSclafani has looked really good at times, but not on the 4 home runs. #Reds down 8-0

[klw]

Reds rally with 4 runs in the 9th but come up 7 runs short.

12-5 Rangers is the final.

Schebler had a nice opposite field hit in the rally. Hope he continues to show this ability.
