Alcantara caught looking

[robmadden1]

If you have STO with directv you can watch today's game.

[JaxRed]

Votto grounds weakly to 2b. Amir Garret starting pitcher. He's a big boy. From behind watching from CF he looks like Chapman out there. Garrett breaks off curve to K the first batter looking.

[JaxRed]

Ramirez doubles strongly to Right Center field.

Alcantara boots an easy grounder. Runners on 1st and 2nd.

Encarnancion lines a single to LF. Ramirez scores. 1-0

Garrett strikes out next guy looking on curve.

[Spike]

Did you see the called third strike called on Santana? It looked like a high fastball out of strike zone and corrected itself at the last second and dropped in for strike three. Amazing pitch.

[JaxRed]

Yep, he's make a couple nice pitches. But he walks the next guy to load bases. He then induces grounder to 3B to end inning.

[JaxRed]

Suarez goes oppo for homer 1-1!! Winker hits weak opposite field grounder that gets by 3rd baseman for a charitable hit. Catcher then tries to pick him off 1st and throws it away. Runner on 2nd.

Herrera grounds a single to LF. Runners 1st and 3rd.

Pitch inside and Barnhart lets it hit him. Bases loaded.

Jennings has weak strikeout swinging. One out bases loaded.

Ibarren hits sharp opposite field grounder that hits a hole. 2-1 Reds

[Mutaman]

I guess hoping Garrett would have a nice one two three inning was asking for too much. Although if you're going to give up RBI. might as well give it up to EE.

[OnBaseMachine]

Winker and Dilson Herrera follow with singles.

[JaxRed]

Hamilton flies out to left and Ibarren tries to score and is out by a country mile to end inning. He looked slow coming down the line.

[JaxRed]

Garrett has 2 first 2 guys fly out and that's it for Garrett. 39 pitches. Evan Mitchell coming in to pitch. Michell is ultra-effective as next guy flies out on first pitch.

[Tom Servo]

that's it for Garrett. 309 pitches.
:eek:

[JaxRed]

I think Price left him in too long. Okay it was 39 pitches. Alcantara flies to LF. Votto K's on perfect inside pitch. He had one of those little half swings. Not sure if it was looking or swinging. Suarez strikes out swinging on nice breaking ball.

[JaxRed]

Jumbo comes in to pitch the third. I assume Mitchell is winded. Jumbo walks first batter. Lindor the second hitter takes it to deep CF almost to warning track. EE is up.

Edwin clubs single up middle. Runners on 1st and 2nd.

Gomes gets hammered in upper back by Jumbo fastball. Bases loaded.

Next batter hits grounder down first base line. Votto makes excellent play to get batter at 1st. Run scores 2-2.

Next guy grounds to short but beats it out. Alacantara makes decision to wait on ball rather than charge, and then the throw was just ok. Clear hit, but not an impressive play at SS in my eyes. 3-2 Indians.

Next hitter grounds to first, Votto boots it so badly that it keeps going and Ibarren backing up gets ball and throws to Votto for the out.

[JaxRed]

Andrew Miller in for Indians. Winker K's looking, Herrera flies out. Barnhart lines a single over SS. Jennings grounds ball up the middle that Lindor makes a great play just to get glove on, and Jennings gets infield hit. 2nd and 3rd. 2 out.

Ibarren hits weak grounder to 2b, but he can't handle the catch or throw. I'd give him error but not sure how it was scored.

Hamilton flies out to end inning, and as we go to commercial, Hamilton is doing pushups in front of the dugout.

[JaxRed]

Bonilla comes in to pitch. Fly out and ground out and soft liner to SS end inning. Nice work by Bonilla.

[JaxRed]

Alcantara admires a breaking ball to lead off 5th. Votto has one of those weird swing strike outs. Suarez lines softly to RF for single. Winker K's swinging.

[Tom Servo]

Austin Brice with four wide ones to walk Francisco Lindor to leadoff the bottom 5th. Strikes, my man.

[JaxRed]

Austin Brice pitching. He's a big solid guy. Walks first guy, plunks 2nd guy, K's 3rd guy. Solid liner to center scores another. End inning with a couple flyouts.

[Tom Servo]

Spring debut could have gone better for Brice.

[Tom Servo]

Aristides Aquino a big boy, nice sharply hit single.

[JaxRed]

Aristides Aquino a big boy, nice sharply hit single.

Who were the first 2 hitters? (Reds substituting)

[Tom Servo]

Who were the first 2 hitters? (Reds substituting)
Sebastian Elizalde and Joe Hudson.

[JaxRed]

And Guerrero K's swinging. (I saw him a lot at Jax in AA. He stands out because of his lineage. I never saw anything to impress me).

[JaxRed]

Jackson Stephens in to pitch. Stephens gives up booming double off the wall, but no one scores. I liked what I saw from him.

[Tom Servo]

Gave up a double but a good inning from Jackson Stephens. I continue to think he's underrated.

[JaxRed]

Superfluous J leads off 7th with liner to CF for single. Kivlehan K's, and Dixon walks. Wallach up. He lines first pitch for single. Bases loaded.

Elizalde grounds into double play. O runs.

[marcshoe]

Turning the game on in the seventh. Who are these guys? Okay, Wallach's hitting, and Suoper-J's on second, but who just walked? Update, base hit, bases loaded.

Brandon Dixon was the guy who walked.

[marcshoe]

Dixon was the guy who walked. Not sure who hit into the double play.

Brandon Dixon was the guy who walked.

Yeah, i rewound and paused so I could read the back of his uniform.

Marc NOT in mid-season form.

[marcshoe]

found a roster. Looks like Kivlehan. Spring training's tough.

Marc NOT in mid-season form.

I'm not even in late February form. And neither is Stephens.

[Tom Servo]

Not so good second frame for Stephens. 3 run bomb by Bradley Zimmer.

[marcshoe]

If Shaffer gets a hit here, I'll be upset.

[marcshoe]

Wallach would've caught that pop-up if the Reds were the home team.

[JaxRed]

Some bad luck too. First ball would have been caught by Hamilton and second batter hit weak grounder that found a hole. Zimmer did crush it though.

Wallach kind of butchered that pop-up.

[JaxRed]

Husdon lines single up the middle to start 8th. Aquino up. Tall guy. Will bug out after his at-bat.

[marcshoe]

two on for Super J.

[marcshoe]

Ariel Hernandez strikes out Colabello to start the eighth. Big kid, looks impressive. It seems that he changes arm angles occasionally, but it may be my mind playing tricks.

[_Sir_Charles_]

LOL. Middle of the game and the sprinkler system just turned on. Too damned funny

[marcshoe]

And the sprinklers come on. You have to love spring training.

[Tom Servo]

Lotta seeing eye singles by the Tribe in this game.

[_Sir_Charles_]

3 wild pitches in the inning. They're really trying to recreate Bull Durham. Sprinklers...now they're aiming for the mascot. Breathe through your eyelids Ariel!!!
