again, Payton doing what Schebler isn't doing
Man, that's a pretty good looking swing there by Payton
Schebler squibs a grounder and is thrown out by catcher.
Payton looking good...and he's fast..something the Reds really lacked last year.Quote:

First run he's allowed so far this spring, think he still might be an early frontrunner for an open bullpen spot.Quote:

Romano walks first batter. Easy DP on next hitter. Colon bobbles the next one 4 times at 1b for error. Tucker than throws out runner stealing.
Nice throw Tuck!
Tucker pops out, Van Meter walks, AlfRod flies out, and Payton K'a looking.
Subs a plenty coming in. Stephenson, India, Trahan and Fairchild. Bowman pitching.
Easy 1-2-3 inning for Lil Bowwow
Siani tracked the last ball down with ease. Hope he can hit....
Hader coming in to pitch. Schebler loops one in for single. Garcia up.
Garcia v. Hader is fun.
Two on, no out after Schebler bloop single and Garcia walk.
Always taking advantage of those scrub pitchers. ;)Quote:

Rally caps!
Garcia walks on a close one. Announcers sympathizing with Siani having to face Hader. But he also bloops one. Bases loaded no out. Colon up. Colon hits SF to score Schebler.
Double steal. Pena up. He K's and Stepheson flies out to end threat.
Kuhnel in to pitch.
Kuhnel (who was not listed in this years "Best Shape of my Career" thread), nevertheless retires the side on 5 pitches.
Kuhnel looked very good in the 7th.
Counsell's booger-picking is in mid-season form.
- - - Updated - - -
Fairchild walks on five pitches. Good patience.
He then steals second. No throw.
Carpenter looks good in his one inning.
A grounder to India (who almost threw it away), a K (on a wicked slider), and a can of corn (nearly misjudged by Fairchild, who made a running catch to nab it).
DeLeon singles, Blandino walks, and Colon is the tying run coming to the plate.
Colon walks.
Winning run now at the plate in the form of Francisco Pena.
Colon could have walked a half hour ago if he hadn't fouled off so many balls.. LOL
Woohoo! Time for a triple steal! I'll take a grandslam by Bell.. I'm not greedy.
The "let's go home" strikezone
Pena swings through strike three.
Stephenson up.
He's broad.
He walks on five pitches, picks up an RBI.
Now 5 - 3 with the bases loaded and one out.
Sweet!
3-5 after a run was walked in.
A walkoff would be sweet.. Oh well.. Run scored.. Now it's up to the error machine..
Brantley Bell grounds out, but another run scores.
It's 5 - 4 with two down.
India up. And he looks at one right down the middle for strike one.
That was the one to hit.
And India K's.
Did not look good in that AB at all.
Trade the kid.. I'm officially not an India fan. That said I hope he proves us all wrong and becomes worthy of the first round pick.. Somehow I doubt it though..
Not sure about that, but he has definitely not looked good at the plate, so far.Quote:
