Royals at Reds 3/4

[texasdave]

10-pitch triple off the bat off the leadoff batter. Disco is doing the pitching. Ground ball through the right side makes it 1-zip. Another single to right.


Do spring training stadiums have a radar gun?

Routine grounder that eats up Jose Peraza. 2-0.

Double off the wall in left. 3-0.

Bouncer to the mound. 1 out.

Single makes it 4-0.

Reds bullpen is busy. Jenkins to the mound. DeSclafani is at 28 pitches.

Liner snagged by the second baseman. 2 outs in the inning.

Can of corn to left. Inning over. 34 pitches.

DeSclafani was not wild.

[JaxRed]

Desclafini pitching. 1st batter triples to CF. 2nd batter hits grounder into RF, 1-0 Royals.

Third guy singles on line drive to Rf. Not starting well....

Peraza makes error on next play allowing a run to score. 2-0

Next guy doubles, 3-0.

This is ugly. Only thing worse would be a trip to the mound by the trainer.

Finally an out on a comebacker to the mound.

Ground ball single to LF 4-0

Line out to second. 2 down.

Fly out to LF 3 down. Yikes. At one point his ERA was 11.75 !!

[Red Raindog]

almost happy I'm not able to watch

[texasdave]

You can close this thread. I didn't realize there was one going already.

[JaxRed]

Winker (DH) pops up to SS

Peraza looks at 3 straight strikes.......

Schebler called out looking.

Way to answer guys.....

[JaxRed]

Desclafini K's first hitter.

Walks the next guy.

DP grounder to SS.

ERA down to 6.75.

I could care less how many runs Disco gives up in a spring training game. As long as he gets his pitches in, and his arm feels fine the next day, I’m good.

[Ron Madden]

Much better 2nd inning for Disco..

[JaxRed]

Duval pops up to 3b.

Mez flies out to CF

Mason Williams flies to CF

[JaxRed]

Herget in to pitch

Retires first 2 hitters than walks a guy

LD single to LF. 2 on.

K !

[JaxRed]

Gosselin doubles for first Reds hit.

Dixon K's swinging
Pennington and Winker make outs

[JaxRed]

Mahle in

Hits first batter in retaliation for roughing up Desclafini. (I made that part up)

Then throws grounder for DP

K's next guy.

[JaxRed]

Bottom 4th.

Peraza grounds out

Schebler singles on LD to LF

Duvall K's and Mez grounds out.

[JaxRed]

Top 5 Mahle still in

Pennigton commits 2 base error.

Fly out to CF runner advances to 3b

Single to LF, runner scores, batter thrown out at 2b by Duvall.

K's next batter. ERA still 0.00

[JaxRed]

Bottom 5.

Williams lines out to 3b

Gosselin singles. 2-2 and .429 on spring.

Dixon grounds into force out.

Pennington flies out.

Still 5-0

[JaxRed]

Mahle still in. But Turner in for Mez

First guy flies out.

Single to LF

Walk, Runners first and second.

IF pop-up for single bases jacked.

Sac Fly scores a run. 2 out.

De Paula relieves Mahle. Runners still 1st and second.

De Paula promptly gives up a single and a run that gets charged to Mahle.

Then he throws a wild pitch to ensure all runners that could be allowed to score on Mahle do indeed score.

Then he gets last out.

[Red Raindog]

ESPN box score says Mahle has 11 strikes & 1 ball while pitching innings -- is that right?

[JaxRed]

No.

[JaxRed]

D. Herrera in for Winker and he K's

Peraza singles

Schebler doubles 7-1

Duvall homers 7-3

Turner and Williams make outs.

[JaxRed]

Reds replace basically everyone. Senzel at SS and Peralta pitching.
