Counting this game, seven Cactus League contests remaining.

[goreds2]

A re-air of this game will be tonight 11:30pm est. on MLB Network pending the dreaded blackout rules.

[NebraskaRed]

Spring training stats don't matter, and all that, but here's what Chad Pinder has done: 086/.158/.114/.272

[JarrodOnVinyl]

Good to see Fraley is indeed fine and back in the lineup

[UPRedsFan]

And Pinder was .235/263/385 in 360 ab's in 2022. I'd rather have Senzel.

No wonder he’s Tinker Bells favorite.

[mth123]

And Pinder was .235/263/385 in 360 ab's in 2022. I'd rather have Senzel.

I'll take Vosler over either one of them. They need a LH bat in the IF as much as they need a RH bat in the OF.

[mth123]

Sounds like the broadcast will be on IHeart radio today. Yesterday they had a mediocre talk show on when the game should have been on.

[icehole3]

Stevenson nearly steps on Angels batting gear, could've been a disaster.

He looks studly.

[NebraskaRed]

Are both teams trying to finish this game as quickly as possible?

[icehole3]

Next Bally game is Wednesday at 9pm.

[mgbrown66]

He looks studly.

That kid looks like a giant freaking pterodactyl on the mound. He's terrifying.

[NebraskaRed]

India's foot did not come off the bag, but there's no replay during spring training, so whatever.

[icehole3]

TJ Friedl steal

[NebraskaRed]

Pinder pretty much gave up running to first. He'll make the team anyway.

Was on the back field at the Guardians. Connor Overton threw 5 innings, 85 pitches. Cruz followed with a scoreless inning with a hit and a K. Díaz pitched an inning, with a runner reaching on his error and a K. All 3 in play were weak contact straight into the ground

Pitching has looked much sharper here recently

big news from today is Lodolo going 6 innings. Nice to see the Reds get aa starting pitcher ready for the start of the season. They haven't done that the last few years.

Hunter Greene also went 6 innings yesterday



Hearing a Major League pitcher will throw in a minor league game always sounds easier than the reality.

Every hitter wants to prove himself against a big-league arm. There is no atmosphere on the backfields, even in spring training standards, with fewer than 50 people watching. The adrenaline from a normal game isn’t there.

Hunter Greene was bumped to a minor league spring training game Sunday because Luis Cessa returned early from the World Baseball Classic and it would’ve been understandable if he wasn’t at his sharpest.

Despite all that, Greene performed well.

Facing the Milwaukee Brewers’ Triple-A team, Greene completed six scoreless innings, He gave up four hits and two walks, both walks coming in the first inning.
