Spring Game Thread 1: Reds at Rays

It's been a long winter, but now it's time for games to begin again. Today we find ourselves in Port Charlotte taking on the 2008 American League Champion Rays. Edinson Volquez will take the mound to start the game with at least Johnny Cueto and Homer Bailey following at some point during the game. Should be interesting to see how the three guys perform against live hitters this early in camp.
If you are wondering who made the trip to Port Charlotte, here is the travel roster (PDF) for today's game, courtesy of Reds media relations intern Jim Misudek.
The game is on the radio today, but maybe not in all of the normal markets, so check local listings. If you want to follow without the audio, try the gameday link. Kick your feet up, grab a cold one, and blow off work. Baseball's back, baby!

I’d be willing to have him DH all year.

I just threw up in my mouth...
Jacque Jones at DH? Was Dusty out drinking with you last night too… if not, i may need to start hitting the sauce…
Hey bartender, Jobu needs a refill...
Hi, hello, and welcome
Dusty does not need to drink to make bad decisions. He constantly has beer goggles on for certain players.
"How big IS your magic wand?"
Dusty and Walt at the bar
“Daaamn… look at that ass!”
“Dusty, that’s Jacque Jones. He’s coming off a terrible season last year. We don’t need him.”
“What are you talking about man, he’s good as hell! I need someone to track down my pheasants and my daughter needs a new suitor. He’d be the perfect fit for this ballclub.”
“Dusty, we don’t need Jacque Jones.”
“Cut that man a check for 3 million dollars. I got me a new DH!”
“(sighs)…fine, Dusty. Minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training, and I’m going to put an escape clause in the deal for the beginning of April when he doesn’t make the team so we won’t be stuck with him all year.”
“Ow owwwww. I’m gonna go make my move.”

How is everyone keeping up with what is going on?
Is there some sort of streaming broadcast I can hear over the computer while im at work?
Hi, hello, and welcome
I’m planning on listening on MLB.com GameDay Audio, when they get it up and working. You have to pay for it, but it’s the only way to listen online.

Thanks, I just started following the Reds and baseball in general last year, I just usually don’t post because I am still learning a lot about it and don’t wanna feel silly. No worries.
I doubt you could look sillier than a lot of the regulars around here.

You're going to learn a lot about baseball around here
And a lot of the other SBN sites too. Athletics Nation, Lookout Landing, and BrewCrewBall all spring to mind as sites that know what they’re talking about.
Don’t worry about feeling silly. If you have a question, ask it, and you’re sure to get a response. The more people we have participating around here, and stirring up good conversation about baseball, the better.

Well... for the good of the team
gotta hope J. Jones doesn’t hit one out of the infield today, tomorrow, or basically ever.
He hit a HR yesterday.
The wheels are already in motion.

Any chance MLB Gameday (the gamecast thingy, not the audio) is an option?
I seem to remember the spring games being available in years past…
Gracias
I also seem to remember having to hunt around for it last year. It’s available, but mlb doesn’t publicize it.

True
Dickersomes was the one possibility coming out of the off season that was at all remotely exciting or hopeful. I hope he gets a decent shot, like Dusty’s retreads undoubtedly will.
And while I'm at it
what happened to Curry against Butler?

by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Feb 25, 2009 12:41 PM EST up reply actions
After we got torched by the friggin' Citadel without him,
he came back at about 70% and couldn’t cut or run quickly at all. Butler’s damn good though, and Davidson ain’t what it was last year. As I am quite emotionally attached to a team I have several friends on, Reds baseball couldn’t start up at a better time.
Lovedale was 5-5
they should have fed him more. And let Barr pick up some of the slack. I think there might be an “ESPN effect” working on Curry. He generally doesnt shoot as well percentage wise when games are broadcast on the network (WVU, Charleston)

by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Feb 25, 2009 12:52 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah Curry tries to hotdog it a little too much on TV
and has been strugglin’ as a result in his last 4 TV games. Lovedale is my favorite guy at the school, but Butler had no one big to guard him with. That’s why he didn’t revert to his usual fallaway 12 footer. Archambault is the key, IMO, just loads and loads of talent. I’m just stunned that the rest of the team doesn’t know what to do without Curry, they’ve gotten WAY too complacent since last March.*

I agree, if he struggles
If he comes up and gets on base and steals a bunch of bases, I see this place being big big supporters of the T-Virus. Either way, I don’t think he gets hammered as much as Jacque Jones does if he makes the team.

Brantley was calling it on the radio and GameDay is screwed up
so I have no idea.

Non-roster catcher
His uniform number is #90, which pretty much tells you his chances of making the roster.

I'm no statistician
But a 90% chance is pretty good.
The season doesn't start until the Cincinnati Reds take the field! Reclaim The Opener!!
Why did Homer only get to go 1 inning?
A great inning, albeit, but only one?

Marty upset that Bailey only got one inning
even though Dusty said he would only work one before the game started. Volquez and Cueto are being stretched out for the WBC. Bailey is on the normal spring routine.

Well I feel silly.

that's okay
Brantley was blabbering on about Bailey’s confidence or something. Apparently neither talk to Dusty or read Fay since that’s where I found out (from Fay, not Dusty).
"How big IS your magic wand?"
I knew it!
You’re sleeping with Dusty’s daughter, aren’t you?

I heard Slyde once got into scoring position…but apparently second base means something different than it used to when I was keeping score.

Dong...
Welcome to Spring Baseball..
Education is what you get from reading the directions. Experience is what you get from not reading them.

My high school CCD teacher (sunday school)
Told me about how he used to leave high school to “attend mass” on Ash Wednesday, but just skipped and smeared some engine grease on his forehead before going back in.
Everybody's a jerk. You. Me. This jerk.

Glad I caught the last 3 innings..
It’s been real folks. See you all soon (maybe three weeks..) Can’t wait until the real thing starts..

Oh Spring
You beguiling bastard of a season.
Making us want to believe Homer will be an ace.
Or Cherry Hudson a solid everyday starter.
Or Jacque Jones a league average pinch hitter.
Fuck you Spring, you do it to me every single year.
