    Two are earned. Homerun and leadoff single.

    BTW, I think Dusty lied too. He said he brought Arroyo Mazto Ball Soup. Matzo Ball Soup in Arizona?

    Wood, annoyed, Ks Chris Davis again. Man does Davis like to K. He and Mark Reynolds and Stubbs could have a K-off.

    Are you sure Rolen is playing 3rd and we didn't secretly get David Ross to play there?

    This whole half inning has been the twilight zone of bad. Bad news bears bad. I can only look at Dusty on the mic and note that "karma" doesn't care about fans getting happy about other teams' misfortunes but "karma" HATES managers that are mic'd during games. Karma is not wrong about this.

    Grounder to 3b for out two, runner on second.

    Somebody or other singles to CF, runner held on 3rd as Stubbs' arm scared him. As it should have, he would have been dead.

    First and third, two outs.

    Bryan Price heads to the mound where a lively discussion of "Arizona factors" ensues.

    Jeff Brantley says from his playing days that it is "hard to get ready" as a picher when training in Arizona, but says the good thing is you "learn how to battle". I guess that's a good thing?

    I still miss Sarasota. There. I said it.

    Dusty said that they will be sending Francisco down tomorrow to work on playing LF. Did he mean officially or just physically?

    Brantley notes that Volquez threw great the other day but that the umpire was squeezing him mercilessly. First I had heard that explanation. Hope Jeff is right about that, because Volquez's spring wildness is harshing my mellow.

    My impression from that was physically, as it sounded like from the rest of it they are still holding out the possibility that he makes the team over Lewis/Hermida, unless I misheard what Dusty was saying.

    Brantley says the Reds have the best fireworks in baseball.

    I will need to see a baseball prospectus article and some fireworks WAR analysis on that statement before I can believe it to be true.

    Tommy Hunter dares to get two strikes ahead on Votto, Votto, angry as only Votto can be, lines a backdoor slider probably off the plate, to left field for a basehit.

    Because Votto is REALLY good at his job.

    Then Rolen singles. First and second, no outs, Gomes up.

    Did Thom say Grienke broke some ribs in a pick up bball game?

    Thom and Jeff re-visiting the Francisco discussion, sounds like that the design is to get him work unofficially in LF tomorrow, without cutting him.

    That wasn't Rolen who singled, it was Francisco. Hope Rolen is okay. He appears to be fine just chilling in the dugout.
