Be nice to see Stephenson with some control today.

[JaxRed]

Looks like game is on FSO

[Strikes Out Looking]

Looks like game is on FSO

Also supposed to be on MLB network.

[Cherokee]

Here's hoping Stephenson has back-to-back solid outings. Also hoping Rainey gets back on track, I think I recall he getting banged up a bit on his last outing.

[Cherokee]

Is FSO sharing the D-Back feed? When I select the FSO option in MLB TV, I get their feed.



Never mind...the announcers just stated such. :laugh:

[JaxRed]

Right before they said Winkler was hitting second.

[JaxRed]

Revere grounds out weakly to second. Announcers apologize for saying Winkler.

Winker singles to RF on sharp grounder. Jesse the speedster steals second.

Votto strikes out swinging on low away pitch.

Scooter K's.

[Brutus23]

Winkler needs to be starting in the OF and hitting leadoff or 2nd. We need to get base runners on for the true 2017 MVP. I really really like BTK but this ST he just looks awful at the plate.

[JaxRed]

Peralta doubles on 3-2 pitch to lead off.

Please apologize now......

[JaxRed]

Next hitter K's on another 3-2 pitch that he thought was a ball. (He might be right). Not exactly pounding the zone.

3-0 to Goldschmidt. 3-2 now. Been 3-2 on every hitter. K'd Goldy on a outside off-speed pitch.

[Brutus23]

For what?

[JaxRed]

Calling him Winkler. :)

Stephenson walks next guy on 4 straight. And goes 2-0 on next guy

[medford]

Heeeyyyyy!!!!!!

[JaxRed]

Stephenson walks next guy on 4 straight. And goes 2-0 on next guy. After going 3-1, he gives up a bloop to score a run.

Next guy grounds out. 31 pitches in the inning for Stephenson. Az announcers commenting on how slow he works.

[texasdave]

31 pitches. 17 missed the strike zone. Not good. Limited the damage to one run.

[JaxRed]

I'd like to see him as Opening Day starter. (Against Toledo).

[JaxRed]

Suarez grounds to SS on 3-2 Pitch Greinke came out of game after 1. Was schedules to go more.

Scheb grounds out.

Peraza shoots one the opposite way for single.

Barnhart grounds out.

[JaxRed]

Where in Florida, Brutus.

After announcer called him Winkler then you did, I should have said Et tu, Brutus?

[texasdave]

Gameday has Stephenson at 92-93.

[JaxRed]

He gave up leadoff single to Marte. Marte was out stealing (even though I thought he might be safe), and walk next guy. Gives up big double on 2-0 pitch. 3-0

44 pitches.

[WrongVerb]

What happened to Greinke? Saw that he was out after 1 inning, but scheduled to go 5.

[NebraskaRed]

the given reason was right groin tightness

[InsaneinthBrame]

Robert "Wild Thing" Stephenson

[JaxRed]

Peraza boots grounder that Senzel would have had. Grounder scores a run. 4-0. 48 pitches.

[NebraskaRed]

Stephenson and Reed make me irrationally angry when I watch them pitch

[JaxRed]

Stephenson hits next guy in foot.

[texasdave]

Peraza boots grounder that Raisor would have had.


FIFY.

[JaxRed]

Revere snags line drive with diving catch to save more runs. 51 pitches.

Blandino K's looking to open 3rd. Revere lines out and Winker singles up the middle.

Votto flies out to deep LF

[Brutus23]

LOL yeah I killed Ceasar. Im in the Capital... I go to JAX often... Was really excited for the Jags last year. Obviously a Bengals fan but I def also pull for the Jaguars. Ramsey is such a stud

[membengal]

Stephenson and Reed make me irrationally angry when I watch them pitch

It’s not irrational.

[JaxRed]

Shackleford in. First guy lines to CF. Marte slaps sharp liner to LF. Next guy K's looking. Next batter lines sharply to 3rd.

[JaxRed]

Scooter grounds out, Suarez hits a sharp grounder that SS can't handle. And then Schebler goes yard against a lefty !!

Peraza and Tucker ground out.

[50YrRedsFan]

Stephenson and Reed make me irrationally angry when I watch them pitch

I don't think you will have to watch either, unless you go to Louisville.

[JaxRed]

Rainey in to pitch. Never seen him before that I recall. Pitching in 95-97 range. Jams first hitter into groundout.

99 MPH on pitch to Pollock. Announcers announce that Reds Spring Training hats are ugly, and that water is wet.

Pollock walks.

Goldschmidt gets away with looking at probable third strike and then flies deep to CF. Runner advanced to second and scores on oppo hit by Lamb. Played very casually by our LF.

Next guy flies to RF to end inning.

[Red Raindog]

Rainey in to pitch. Never seen him before that I recall. Pitching in 95-97 range. Jams first hitter into groundout.

He's throwing it up there - hitting 99 but walks the second guy

[Tracy Jones]

I actually had hope in Stephenson after his finish to 2017. It’s becoming apparent that he is who he is, and that’s cannon fodder.

Lesson kids: Don’t trust late August/early September numbers. They’re often fools gold.

[NebraskaRed]

that was pretty funny when they learned the history behind that C but still didn't like the hat.

[Tracy Jones]

Duplicate post

[Red Raindog]

Rainey - after the one out walk -- gives up a deep fly out to CF then an oppo double to score the run and the a deep fly out to RF

The Vanimal getting 3 outs on 10 pitches

[757690]

He sees the openings in the rotation and is making his move.

[NebraskaRed]

I believe that's Kristopher Negron playing SS for the D-backs

[Red Raindog]

He sees the openings in the rotation and is making his move.

his era at 9.95 for the spring is better than Stephenson's at 10.13

Ya it's much better to make decisions based on a couple of innings of spring training.

he does have 121 innings with the Reds --

[Red Raindog]

Gosselin lets DP grounder go thru his wickets --- defense has not been impressive this spring


now a wild pitch lets another run in (Quackenbush)

[50YrRedsFan]

Quackenbush laying an egg with a wild pitch to allow a run.

[thejanitor]

he does have 121 innings with the Reds --

121 innings isn't even a good sample size for a young pitcher yet you want to make a judgement based up 6-7 innings of spring training? Talk about SSS.

[M2]

Every time I see Nick Senzel has been put into a game at 3B, it makes me think the Reds aren't anywhere close to committed to him playing SS on a regular basis.

[M2]

I've been in move-on-from-Stephenson camp for a couple of years now and even I think the Reds not putting him in the rotation based on ST is a sorry way to run a ball club.

70+ walks in those 121 innings and more hits than innings pitched -- He's not ready imo and I'm doubting he ever will be -- I hope you're right & I'm wrong

Look, I'm not saying you're right or wrong, just that he should be given more than 6-7 innings of spring training or even 121 innings to prove himself. If he were someone with middling stuff than I would agree and say "let's move on to the next guy" but RS has some nasty stuff and I would like to see him get a legitimate chance to put it all together.

The problem is that he wasn't any good in the minor leagues either and never really earned the spot in the big leagues. He was given the spot with the "maybe pitching in the majors will magically make him better" hope a dope theory. I don't think he should be given any more big league innings at this point. He does need to prove himself - in AA or AAA. when he does, then give him a real shot.

I don't think anyone has said 6 or 7 innings this year proves he's never going to make it. --- He does have @750 innings in --- 627 minors & 121 majors --- and he's walked @350 in those innings -- I'm just not seeing the needed improvement to want to have him to be counted on -- I'm ready to see him off to Louisville and see if he gets it together before his options run out

[CincyDave]

Here we go again with the starting pitching.
