Seems like Bruce is going to need to have a MONSTER spring to have any shot of making the team out of ST... and even then I'm not really sure if it can happen, b/c he needs to play every day and it appears the Reds are pretty much decided on who will be their CFers.

Do they usually use a DH in ST games that involve two NL teams? I don't remember that from the past.
Interesting to see the two phenoms batting back to back. Also I hope if Bruce has a monster spring that he makes the team. That would be a very bad disservice to him and the team if he didn't.

I don't either. A few times the Reds asked permission to do it so Jr. could get ABs and not play the field but otherwise I don't remember that happening.

Maybe they are just getting Bruce reps in RF? He's the likely replacement there if Junior gets hurt.

IIRC they are allowed to use the DH early in ST but need to get permission to do it later in the Spring

You can try WLW's web site but I don't know if it will be on.

I have had some luck in the past with www.athensi.com (http://www.athensi.com). Click on the WATH link. If you can spring for it you should get the MLB.com audio. It's only $14.95 a year and that includes every regular season MLB game. Although not all spring traiing games are broadcast. I just got it yesterday for the upcoming season.

Affeldt
Brower
Majewski
Burton
Coutlangus
Adkins
Salmon

Incidentally, one way to get MLB.TV/Gameday Audio for cheap is to sign up for the MLB Extra Bases credit card (http://www.bankofamerica.com/creditcards/?context_id=marketing_detail&prod_group_cd=DMLB&requestTimeout=120). Make a couple purchases, wait until your first statement... then you should get 10,000 points to redeem. It says you get a $50 MLB shop gift card, but what you actually get are points to redeem in the Extra Bases rewards program.

Guess what costs 10,000 points?

A season-long subscription to MLB.TV and Gameday Audio. Normal retail value is like $90, I think. The only problem is that the delay in getting the points in your reward account might push you past Opening Day a tad.

0% APR for 12 months is pretty nice, as well- otherwise it's a pretty mediocre card, but most savvy credit users know how to flip balances between cards so you never pay interest.

The game will be on channel 176 on XM today.

XM put up their schedule for the first 2 weeks of spring traning and so far for the Reds only this and the game March 3rd are being carried on XM.

Keppinger charges nicely to throw out the semi-speedy Victorino.

Jay fouls the breaking ball straight back. Second pitch is ripped into LCF for the single! Opposite-field hitting off the soft-tosser, interesting.

maybe he should have done something else with the rubber. That could be his problem.


If you don't know how to use the rubber right bad things can happen.

Line drive single to center. Dusty has seen enough. So have we.

.1 IP, 7 AB, 6 H, 2 2B, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 WP. Close the book on him with a game ERA of 108.00 and he still has some accountable runners on base.
