Hamilton CF
Suarez 3B
Votto 1B
Duvall LF
Gennett 2B
Schebler RF
Barnhart C
Pennington SS
Romano P

Substitute Peraza for Pennington and this could well be the Opening Day lineup as far as position players go.

Yep, have to make sure you have the worst hitter in the NL getting the most at bats.

Are the Reds going to play one of their minor league teams, or maybe a futures-type game this season?

Two batters in, and the Reds lead 1-0. Hamilton single. Suarez double.

Duvall loses a baseball in the desert night. 3-0.

First batter for the Rangers grounds to short, and Pennington fires the ball wayyyyy over the head of Votto at first.

this is the back up shortstop?

I feel like I've seen him make 4 or more errors already



Espn has it posted as his 4th error this spring

That was his 4th error. Peraza also has 4 miscues.

Pennington looked hilarious trying to make it to third, but he succeeded.

Pennington makes up for it with a one-out triple. Textbook baserunning per Jim Day.

then Big Sal with an RBI single

Umps ruled that Billy scored before Geno was tagged out, but that was not even close

Is it odd that in Romano's last start this spring he only goes 3 innings?

Vance Worley relieves him, and Texas juices the bases with no outs. Only 1 run crosses the plate.

6-3 good guys.

Okay, the beat writers are saying that Romano was only scheduled to go 3. He will have one more start this spring.

I came on to ask about that and whether it was an injury. Could he maybe get a minor league start in between now and his first MLB outing?

Pennington, making a late push, whacks his second triple of the game.

Short Start for Romano may be to allow them to pitch him on short rest next time to set the rotation. Not sure.

I don't feel like taking off a shoe, but the Reds have exhibition games scheduled the next five days. So, Romano would go on the 27th. 5 days hence would make it April 1st. That will also be the Reds 3rd game of the regular season. So, if Romano is #3 in the rotation, then he is right on schedule. It seems to me anyway.

Vance Worley righted the ship after allowing the first three runners he faced tonight to reach. 3 IP and just 1 R.

Austin Brice should probably starting checking accommodations in the Louisville area. If he was still in the running for a spot, tonights 1-inning, 3-run showing should effectively remove him from further consideration.

Rainey with a scoreless 8th. The 9th is not looking so good though. The Reds lead 7-6 in the bottom of the 9th, and the first 2 have reached for Texas.

Tanner gets Gallo to strike out. 1 away.
5-4 force for the second out. Runners on the corners.
F8 to close things out.

Nice job by the youngster.

Starting to think Worely might get the last spot over Weiss and Shack

A good idea in these meaningless games. Try to get him as many shots to get going. It doesn't mean he has to hit there on Opening day.

Then why take him out after 5 innings?
