For the first time this spring, the Reds are playing nine regulars. This could be their most often used lineup this season.

[Reds Freak]

The Reds have had worse Opening Day lineups over the years.

[Mitri]

Looks close to the everyday lineup vs RHPs. I don’t hate it. Not confident it stays healthy. There will be some rough, rough patches, but it’s scrappy and you can squint and see it being good in patches.

Tommy Thrall and Jim Day calling the game on WLW radio tonight.

Jim Day commenting that Moose is looking "fleet of foot" at 3rd this spring; possibly those words have never been uttered about Moustakis before

Sure he didn’t say “flat” of foot?

Deuces wild! Two out hitting, two doubles, two runs. Baseball rocks.

Facing the Padres, Joey Votto hit an RBI double in his first at-bat. When Tyler Stephenson drove Votto in with an RBI double of his own, Votto did the Fernando Tatis Jr. stutter step around third base.

Last season, Jonathan India did the same thing.

Luis Castillo and Lucas Sims both threw bullpen sessions today. They'll both be on the 10-day IL to begin the season, but the Reds hope to have them back by mid-to-late April.

Joey Votto is good.

Votto pulled for a pinch runner in the 3rd; would think they'd give him at least another at bat.

Edit: Votto left the stadium with the trainer per Thrall and Day. No bueno.

Reds lead 3-2 after 3 innings

Joey Votto's night is done after an RBI double and an RBI single.
I think he's making the squad out of spring training

[Ron Madden]

Kyle Farmer Goes BOOM!!!

Jonathan India is in mid-season form, getting hit by pitch.
He seems to be OK, didn't see a trainer

Aramis Garcia, who leads the Cactus League with five homers, was grateful for the chance to reunite with David Bell and his staff after working with some of them in the Giants organization.

“As soon as the offer came in, I was ready to sign.”
