3/31/2016 Reds vs Indians

[cumberlandreds]

Last game in Arizona. Reds are off tomorrow,play a game against the Pirates in Indy on Saturday. Off Sunday and then it all begins. Good chance this is your opening day lineup sans the DH and the pitcher.

I remain exuberant/hopeful over Suarez's chances to make a leap to quasi-stardom. Probably irrationally. But I will just go ahead and acknowledge it.

Yes. Except I would bat Schebler after Bruce and before Cozart

[RedTeamGo!]

Other than the DH, I think this is our opening day lineup.

[Tuff Nut]

Yes. Except I would bat Schebler after Bruce and before Cozart

Am I missing something? Isn't that exactly what Raisor's lineup has?

[Raisor]

Phillips
Suarez
Votto
Rocco
Bruce
Schelber
Cozart
Pitcher
B-Ham

Sure. That can work too.

Wait. What?

[Elam]

Kind of a strange start to the game that half inning.

Carassco pitching.

Cozart K's on 3 pitches. Suarez flies out on the first pitch. Votto walks on 4 pitches. Then Phillips Ks on 3 pitches


That is if Gameday is accurate today

Gameday in ST frequently does not show the pitch results accurately. I think I first noticed it last Spring when I was amazed that Cueto had not thrown a ball in 6 innings of work.

Playful Joey is in the park again today:

Joey just moved up in the box during his plate appearance after a fan yelled at him to do so. Got a chuckle from the crowd. #Joey2016

Jay lays another bunt down the third base line. Good bunt but not enough to beat it out. #Reds

[klw]

1-0 Reds after 2. Reed started the second by allowing a walk and a double but got out of it.

[TRF]

I'd go

Phillips
Votto
Mesoracco
Bruce
Schebler
Suarez
Hamilton
Cozart
P

Let Cozart feast on some fastballs whenever Hamilton is on base. Let Votto bat with at worst 1 out to start the game, at best a runner on and Rocco on deck.

[membengal]

Counting the days until Reed is unleashed. Cannot wait to see him pitch for the Reds in games that count.

[Tuff Nut]

With Cave gone, and Peraza presumably on the team, I hope he bats leads off, in the games he starts.

this is his take on Reed:
Bernie Pleskoff ‏@BerniePleskoff 29m29 minutes ago

#Reds big, strong lefty SP Cody Reed works quickly on the mound. Can get himself out of trouble. In the mix as starting pitcher.

[klw]

Odd that if Cave was placed on waivers as he is in the game.

Reds trail 2-1 in the 5th. Reed out after 4 1/3

[malcontent]

I'd take the ST OPS from Duvall, Schebler and Bruce (all between 0.850 and 0.900).

[TRF]

Sampson with a nice inning there, 0H 1BB 2 K's and a flyout.

I'd carry him in the pen. Absolutely.

[TRF]

aaaaand I jinxed him.
