[cumberlandreds]

A josh Van Meter sighting. I didn't know where he had ended up.

[JaxRed]

As did Fairchild. In same trade for Bradley

[Ron Madden]

De Leon k's the first hitter
Second hitter HBP
Third hitter grounds into 5-4-3 DP

[757690]

Only been an half an inning, but John Sedak has already impressed me. The key for me is he sounds like he’s a true baseball fan

[757690]

Senzel!!!!!

:jump:

[Ron Madden]

Farmer lines out hard to 3rd base
Castellanos K's looking on a 3-2 pitch
Senzel Goes BOOM! Hr to LF
Aquino grounds out.

Reds 1
D'backs 0
After 1 inning

[Kc61]

Senzel looks bigger this year, more muscular. In 2020 he looked thin, I seem to recall he wanted more speed for CF.

[Tom Servo]

I'm slowly starting to climb on the De León train.

[Ron Madden]

De Leon k's the first hitter of the 2nd inning
2nd hitter draws a BB
3rd hitter goes down swinging 3 k's for De Leon
4th hitter doubles to RCF runners @ 2nd & 3rd
5th hitter goes down swinging 4 K's for De Leon

[JaxRed]

I'm slowly starting to climb on the De León train.

I'd like to see more strikes

[M2]

I'm slowly starting to climb on the De León train.

Just for fun I'm stealing former cruiserweight champion Carlos De Leon's nickname and calling him Sugar.

[Tom Servo]

I'd like to see more strikes
As long as he limits the walks I'm not especially bothered by that.

[Tom Servo]

Alf-Rod stinks :(

[JaxRed]

Just for fun I'm stealing former cruiserweight champion Carlos De Leon's nickname and calling him Sugar.

I like Kings De Leon

[757690]

Alf-Rod stinks :(

He looks out of shape and slow. I thought he was a catcher when I saw that AB.

[Ron Madden]

TySteve line drive single to CF
Dee Strange Gordon singles to RF
India HBP bases loaded
AlfRod grounds into a DP run scores
Cuthbert k's

Reds 2
D'backs I
After 2 innings

[Tom Servo]

Sorry for jinxing you De Leon

[Bob Sheed]

Who is that in the tv booth tonight, opposite Welch?

[M2]

Alf-Rod stinks :(

This is the first I've heard of this.

[757690]

Third inning is the stretch out inning, not too worried about it.

I find him annoying

[Ron Madden]

I find him annoying

Not me, I like him. I think he's a whole lot better than what we've had.

[JaxRed]

I find him annoying

Thom is that you?

[Bob Sheed]

I see VanMeter out there...

[Ron Madden]

Reds 2
D'backs 2
End of 3 innings

[NatiRedGals]

It's not Thom I just don't think he's that good but I gotta give him a chance idk why we keep grabbing people from other sports I know he did minor baseball but he did alot of basketball

@nightengalejr
For those wondering why the #Reds coaching staff is big on José De León's potential, he had 7 swings and misses in the 2nd inning vs. D-Backs.

[Tom Servo]

You can’t stop Josh Rojas

[NatiRedGals]

Oof hope that ends his starting chances I want antone

[JaxRed]

Weird inning for Lorenzen. Breaking ball after breaking ball

[Ron Madden]

Not a good night for Lorenzen

[WrongVerb]

Not a good night for Lorenzen

Think he was results agnostic tonight, choosing to work on stuff while facing unfamiliar hitters.

[Ron Madden]

Bang! India goes BOOM!!!

[Ron Madden]

DBacks are up 5-3 after 4 innings

[RedTeamGo!]

The Reds drafted Fairchild 38th overall “lol”

[Ron Madden]

Lorenzen is back out for a second inning.

[Ron Madden]

Charlie Goldsmith
@CharlieG__
Infield prospect Jonathan India, who considers himself a “gap-to-gap” hitter and says "I can be a power hitter but it’s not really my game” just hit a 350-foot opposite field home run on a straight line drive.

One of the best hit balls of the spring for the Reds.

[Ron Madden]

Senzel doubles down the LF line

[Griffey012]

Weird inning for Lorenzen. Breaking ball after breaking ball

It’s spring training

[757690]

Cam Bedrosian with an impressive 3K inning.

[Ron Madden]

Bobby Nightengale
@nightengalejr
Cam Bedrosian with 6 whiffs against his slider as he strikes out the side in his spring training debut. #Reds

[HammerTime]

Nice night for Senzel. Love it.

[kaldaniels]

Bang! India goes BOOM!!!

Stranger things have happened than 2 Top-10 picks finally putting it together in the same season...

Now wouldn’t that be something.

FYI, tonight's game is scheduled for 8 innings, but they will play the top of the 9th to get another pitcher in for the #Reds

[Ron Madden]

C. Trent Rosecrans
@ctrent
Nevermind. Diamondbacks want to use a pitcher, so we're gonna play a bottom of the ninth, so there's a chance for an actual victory in 9 innings.

[Ron Madden]

Bases loaded with Reds 0 outs

[Ron Madden]

DBacks roll the inning

Reds lose 5-3

[HammerTime]

Just one out when they rolled it?

[Ron Madden]

Just one out when they rolled it?

Yes The Reds had the bases loaded with one out, down 2 runs in the bottom of the 9th.
And the Dbacks rolled the inning.

Doesn't matter

They should make everyone’s spring record 0-0 since they have this sort of farce with the games.
I do think how well you play is more important than your record in spring training.
