I wish that Ramos was as good as his ST numbers. Great to have a SH backing one of the middle of the lineup guys.

[Bourgeois Zee]

10 pitchers now at 4.50 ERA or lower still in camp:

Six relievers:
- Reiver Sanmartin
- Fernando Cruz
- Bennett Sousa
- Joel Kuhnel
- Derek Law
- Alex Young

Four starters:
- Luis Cessa
- Hunter Greene
- Nick Lodolo
- Graham Ashcraft

- - - Updated - - -

Relatively big game for Williamson.

I suspect, if he nails this audition, he'll be named the 5th starter to begin the season. (Barring an acquisition of another team's 6th starter.)

Speaking of, how nice would it be to have Chris Flexen?

Williamson is not good.

Yeah. I know. My comment was more directed at whether this is a sign that they plan to use him more as a super utility guy rather than penciled in at CF.

Hey maybe trying to get a pitcher who’s been at least more successful doing it Seattle way is not good at doing it Johnson’s way. Maybe don’t try to change what’s worked better to fit your philosophy.

Kinda glad this one wasn’t televised.

[Kingspoint]

Great batting practice pitching by the REDS...6 Doubles, 1 Triple, 5 Homeruns, 5 Singles, 5 Walks.

Senzel had a plate appearance. He did his best. Grounded into a Double-Play. So glad he has to earn a spot on the team.

[klw]

Never heard of Manuel Cachutt. How has he survived cuts to w/i a week of Opening Day?

He is in minor league camp just brought over for the game. They have a few every game. If you look at the roster in the link below, it has guys in blue like Cachutt and Jay Allen who are in minor league camp but playing in the game.
