75 pitches btw

Pretty damn good.

 

[romeo212000]

Fielder got his second bomb too.

Ross goes 5.2. Left a pitch up to Phillips it seems.

5.2/2R/1ER/3K/0BB/1HR

Awesome.

Great job. Going to be some tough decisions on who our 5 starters are to start the season. It would be tough to take 3 BP guys and make them starters as the pen would be hurting. I could see two at the most.

Two inherited runners scored on a triple off of Cotts.

I don't consider Ogando a bull pen guy. Will be interesting to see how Scheppers does.

This Reds broadcast is horrible.

I really hope Choice can translate this to a good year. Would be awesome if he could get at least 300 PA and put up something in the .275/.330/.400 range.

If he's on the David Murphy/Marlon Byrd plan then he shouldn't have any problem getting 400-500 plate appearances honestly between the 3 OF spots and DH

By that I meant they have pitched out of the pen successfully unlike Saunders, Hanson, Lewis and so on.

If both Ross and Scheppers are starters, then our pen is:

Cotts, Frasor, Feliz, Soria, Ogando, and.......what do y'all think?

 

[donaldson79]

Choo got picked off 2nd.
WTF is with our baserunning? Why has it not been fixed?

Fixed? It seems to be at least as bad as last year.

I'm totally with ya on the WTF.

Looks pretty bad ass.

 

[donaldson79]

Looks pretty bad ass.

Yeah it does.

However, I guess what I was really asking is who else joins the stealer group? Do we keep Hanson or Saunders as the long man, hang onto "Kirkman" yet again?

Or do we go with an 11 man staff to start the season and carry an extra utility man, like Kouzmanoff or Lillitbridge or Rosales? Two of the 3 of course.

Could see Hanson getting the long man spot. Seems to me Rosales might be odd man out of those three.

Anyone not named Kirkman.

 

[DT LUNA]

Anyone not named Kirkman.

Agree. How long do you fail till you do.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Anyone not named Kirkman.

If they keep Kirkman, Wash will think of ways for him to blow some games

 

[PDay8810]

Ross just might get that #5 spot

 

[RevSader]

Ross just might get that #5 spot

As long as he earns it then I am happy. Looks like he might have just done that.

He proved me wrong. I just wish I could have watched it.
