Guess who’s the DH for Cleveland today.

1. CF Oscar Mercado
2. LF Ben Gamel
3. 1B Jake Bauers
4. RF Josh Naylor
5. 3B Mike Freeman
6. 2B Yu Chang
7. DH Billy Hamilton
8. SS Andrés Giménez
9. C Austin Hedges

[JaxRed]

If I could grant a good performance to any player today it would be DeLeon. If Winter League DeLeon is the real thing he could be a starter for the next 4 or 5 years at cheap rates.

[NebraskaRed]

Votto with a single on his first AB of the spring.

[Ron Madden]

Joey Votto sharp single up the middle

so much for hitting for more power...

[NebraskaRed]

Castellanos strikes out, Geno with a weak grounder to third.

"So much for making adjustments during the offseason" - someone on Facebook probably

[Umkubas]

Go Canada Go

Go Stanford Cardinal Baseball

[NebraskaRed]

De Leon walks Jake "Trevor" Bauers but nothing else happens and on to the 2nd we go.

[NebraskaRed]

Moose flies out to center, Tucker walks, Max "School of" Schrock grounds into a double play.

Reds offense is in midseason form.

[NebraskaRed]

Billy Hamilton walks, Andres Gimenez triples because Castellanos is not so good in right field.

The #reds game notes list LHP Brandon Finnegan as their starter tomorrow vs. Oakland. Finnegan hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2018. He's in Minor League camp now.

[Ron Madden]

Votto RBI single tie game 1-1
Joey is 2 for 2

[NebraskaRed]

Votto with 2 singles and an RBI so far today.

2 Singles?! Does he even care about the team?!

[NebraskaRed]

Josh Osich (say that 5 times fast) is pitching for the Reds now.

He's a LHP he had a good inning

I still expect the NL to have a DH this year, and I am 100% fine if the Reds inform Castellanos that's the only job they need him to do.

But he might pout like he did on Opening Day last season when he was replaced defensively.

[JaxRed]

Do we have reason to believe Cast played it badly?

I missed that play

Reds relief pitcher Art Warren is out here throwing 97 miles per hour.

Reds SS Kyle Holder, who’s the best defender of the group, just made the best play of the day at shortstop, gathering a hard hit ball and turning the double play.

[JaxRed]

Subs at all positions....

No matter how badly the Reds front office bungled the off-season, it's good to have baseball on.

It's even better if you don't think they did a bad job.

[JaxRed]

Jeter Downs having a very nice first day. Wonder if he makes the bigs this year.

I thought Art Warren was a secluded place where people go to paint still lifes amidst a bunch of rabbits.

[JaxRed]

Alaniz with a not so good inning. 2 hits, 2 walks. Walks a run in.

India came in to play 2B.

Which is kinda interesting.

If he was playing short that would be more interesting :)

[MoneyInTheBank]

If he was playing short that would be more interesting :)

Definitely. I figured he'd play at his normal height

[Ron Madden]

Cleveland 5
Cincinnati 1
Final 8 innings

I always found it interesting that the India to SS experiment lasted longer than the Senzel to SS experiment.
