I'm curious why Duvall isn't getting work in RF.

[Tom Servo]

I'm curious why Duvall isn't getting work in RF.
They tried it right after the Bruce trade for a game or two and Duvall didn't like it and I think had an ugly play out there as well. Keep in mind this is a former corner infield guy so it's a minor miracle he can play a solid LF to begin with.

I'd just hope that maybe he would have grown more comfortable with the outfield in general that he'd be able to move. I think he's got the best arm out of the Duvall/Schebler/Winker trio.

[medford]

At 29 (?) Duval is probably not viewed as a long term solution in the outfield. Perhaps it makes sense to keep him where he feels most comfortable, where he's played at a gold glove level defensively with an eye towards flipping him at the trading deadline.

I just know when the real games start its either going to be Hamilton or Peraza at the top of the lineup with the other batting 2nd. I can just feel it man.

Peraza doubles, heads to 3rd on a passed ball, Senzel sac fly to center to score, Reds up 1-0. Votto then looks at 7 pitches and walks. His patience is uncanny

Scheb singles to right center, Votto to 3rd

scheb takes 2nd, Duvall walks. Juiced w/1 out for Dilson

RBI single for Dilson. Still loaded with Tucker up

Tucker grounds out to 2B. One run in. Reds up 3-0, runners on 2nd and 3rd with Ervin to the dish

Phil Ervin triples off the wall, 2 runs come in. Reds up 5-0

Pitching change

Sweeney walks, Peraza grounds out. Headed to the bottom of the 1st.

No

Have Marty on the radio feed

Definitely not my idea of an angel chorus

Wasn't Marty

I think I am listening to Doug Flynn and Jim Day. Right?

Sounds similar to Marty.

What's Cozart's new team have to do with anything?

[texasdave]

Three consecutive singles off of Homer to load the bases. Four straight. 5-2 Cincy.

The guy who needs to most AB's in ST...so Peraza or Herrera

[WrongVerb]

Three consecutive singles off of Homer to load the bases.

Two were seeing eye through the right side, the third a soft line drive to right. Homer's not giving up rockets at the moment.

[Rojo Rijo]

Three consecutive singles off of Homer to load the bases.

first two were soft singles. Even the last one wasn't hit very hard. Rough start but he's pitching well.

*another bloop single plates 2 for Chicago

[WrongVerb]

Fourth hit a broken bat bloop to center. Two Sox score.

[medford]

Sir Nick gaps a stand up Double to start the 2nd inning.
Votto seeking his first hit of the spring....takes strike 3.
Schebler not seeking his first hit (of the game or spring) ...hits one out to left :jump::jump:

2 run shot, 7-3 good guys

Duval ground out to 2nd for out #2
Dilly Dilly Herrera, shoulder and all ... picks up an infield single to third (funky spin on the grounder past the 3rd bagger)
Dilson steals 2nd base
Tucker drives one deep, 2 run shot. :jump::jump:

9-3 good guys

Ervin steps up to the plate... walks on a 3-2 count
Another pitching change for the Sox
Sweeney steps to the plate for the 2nd time in 2 innings....grounds out to 1st

#TeamSchebler

[JaxRed]

Schebler has been on fire recently

Schebler has been on fire recently

He's been on fire since August 2016, excluding the month or so in 2017 where he was injured.

[Raisor]

Yes

[TRF]

I need to find the pitching version of Schebler.

#TeamFinnegan

gonna make that a thing.

[Raisor]

He's been on fire since August 2016, excluding the month or so in 2017 where he was injured.

April/May 2016 69 PA's 590 OPS

Aug-Oct 2 2016 213 PA's 818 OPS

April-July 7, 2017 322 PA's 869 OPS

July 8-July 30, 2017 66 PA's 333 OPS

Aug 18-Oct 1, 2017 143 PA's 831 OPS

[texasdave]

Schebler batting a sultry .529.

[Griffey012]

He's been on fire since August 2016, excluding the month or so in 2017 where he was injured.

.249/.331/.477/.799 with a 105 wRC+ over that span. Removing July 2017 and you get .266/.339/.507/.846 with a 118 wRC+.

[RedlegsFanatic]

What's Up Reds Fans!!!
First time here this Spring...

I'd just like to say if I were Reds manager, THIS would be my lineup.
With my 2018 projections.

1. Scooter 2B .270/20HR/60RBI
2. Suarez 3B . 265/25HR/70RBI
3. Votto 1B .315/30HR/100RBI
4. Duvall LF .260/30HR/100RBI
5. Schebler RF .250/25HR/75RBI
6.Mesoraco C .285/20HR/65RBI
7. Winker CF .290/20HR/55RBI
8. Peraza SS .295/5HR/20SB (Until Senzel is ready, then move Suarez to SS)

BENCH BULLPEN ROTATION

Hamilton RP Lorenzen 1. Disco
Peraza (After Senzel is ready) RP Stephenson 2. Castillo
Tucker RP Romano or Amir 3. Homer
D. Herrera RP Hernandez 4. Finnegan
Ervin RP Hughes 5. Amir or Romano
Revere LP Peralta
LP Reed


I know the 1st thing you see is no Billy starting, fact is Hamilton needs to be traded, or utilized as an awesome bench weapon.
While his defense is GG caliber, his OBP is no where near top of the order quality.
And with the great Joey Votto batting 2 spots behind him, you just can't have Billy at the top and expect to be successful.
Both Peraza and Billy could be 2 of the best bench weapons in baseball.
Mesoraco HAS to be your starting catcher every day he can play. He is an All Star caliber catcher. Not to mention we gotta get SOMETHING out of that deal Cincinnati signed him to. I think Winker will have a very good season.
If the rotation pitches like they can, and the 8 players I slotted into the starting lineup are fairly healthy all season, this team could win some games.
Make the Playoffs? I'll not get crazy, but you never know.
I WILL SAY THIS....if the Reds stay healthy, the only team in the Central above the Reds will be the hated cubbies.

[medford]

Winker would be abysmal in Center Field. I'd love to see him in the lineup, just not in center.

[medford]

Missed an inning, but Homer just gave up another Homer 9-6 good guys

[WrongVerb]

I'd rather Suarez stay at 3rd and Senzel (if he can) take over at SS. Peraza can go into a 2b platoon/super-sub role. Schebler plays CF.

My dream lineup is:

RF Winker
SS Senzel
1b Votto
3b Suarez
CF Schebler
LF Duvall
CA Barnhart
2b Gennett/Peraza
PIT

Three hits for Dilson, does he get off the Redszone chopping block for a day?

[Kc61]

If Dilson plays well he’s a lock to make the Reds. Out of options and all.

He’ll need to play some defense, DH’d today.

[RedlegsFanatic]

Dream lineup is Tucker over Mes? Even if Mes is healthy?
Cmon...Tucker couldn't hold Mes' jock strap.

That's because the trainer would be holding it in the examination room while Mez had another potential injury checked out.

I think Dilson will not only have to play D, but play D at more than just 2B (3B? LF?) to win a seat on the bench, IMO. That said, I love his bat when healthy and would hate to lose him. A deal maybe?

[cumberlandreds]

A banner day for Reds pitching. Oh well, at least it doesn't count. Reds lose again 14-12.
