Edinson Volquez vs. Jason Hammel. I'm on my way out the door to eat on a patio somewhere. Enjoy the game!
Lineups after the jump.
Game time is 1:05pm. No Reds coverage today. I'm not sure about the Rays broadcast, but there is always Gameday.

The top six spots in that order look good
but I’m keeping an eye on Jacque. God help us if he gets on any kind of a roll.
Get ready, Cincinnati. Slyde has left his mother's basement.

It's not on XM.
Astros lead the Yankees 1-0. So there’s that.
I’m gonna go look for Slyde on that patio.

HAVOC in full effect in the first
WMT walks. Steals 2nd.
CDick single, WMT to 3rd. CDick steal 2nd.
Votto sac fly scores WMT, CDick go to 3rd.
BP strikes out looking.
Bruce grounds out.
Reds lead 1-0.

Tons o' HAVOC = 1 run

Volquez not that effective in the first
2 walks and a single loads the bases, but Burrell gidp’s. Can you believe Burrell f’d up that opportunity?
"How big IS your magic wand?"
Opportunity, can you believe it?

Dusty clearly
was impressed with him when he said, “That’s his stroke.” And, " he got a couple of other hits."
That really doesn’t sound good to me.

Well, I won't hold everything against him.
But he’s gonna have to take the blame for either Patterson in ’08 or Tavares in ’09.

Man, already in mid-season form..
Very nice..
Education is what you get from reading the directions. Experience is what you get from not reading them.
TB bottom of the 2nd
load the bases up again. Don’t score. Reds lead 3-0
"How big IS your magic wand?"
Dickerson is 2 for 2...
But it seems pretty obvious to me at this point that Dusty really, really wants Jones taking up space on the bench.

I have the irrational feeling that Jones won't be coming north with us
He’s getting a ton of playing time in spring, but his simple lack of production has to be enough to leave him in Louisville at best. Surely Jocketty will step in, if nothing else.
by Brendanukkah on Mar 18, 2009 2:09 PM EDT up reply actions
I'd hope so
although, when you read the things Dusty says about the players in camp, don’t you get the impression that he has 100% of the say on how his roster is constructed and Walt doesn’t make any decisions? I do.

Could Kepp be flat-out in jeopardy of going to Louisville?
And Cherry/AGon/BP comprise the middle infielders on the 25 man?

I would guess that if Kepp goes to Louisville
then Rosales would make the team.
But Kepp is out of options, so I doubt he gets sent to Louisville.
"How big IS your magic wand?"
agreed
and he’s a Dusty fave. i think he’s one of the safest guys on the roster.

Owings line in a minor league game (per Fay)
4.1 IP, 9H, 7R, 6ER, 5K, 1HB (71TP, 51K)
Also he went 1-2 with a solo homer.
… so, based on the evidence, we can’t let Homer or Owings pitch to any minor leaguers this year. (Homer got roughed up in his minor league outing, too)
Reds record while I'm in attendance: 15-0 (lifetime)
Can someone score me some tickets? :)
I haven't been paying attention...
Does this mean that Owings has been sent to the minors, or can he do this without affecting his options?
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.
I think it's just keeping him on schedule
As wallaman points out, Homer also pitched in a minor league game the other day. They’re just pitching then because it’s their day to throw. It might be that the return of Cueto and Volquez created a bit of a logjam with more big league pitchers than there are big league games.

Bray might still be a little hurt
Or our defense might still be a little shitty. Either way, I’m starting to buy into the theory that Bray starts the season on the DL and Bailey and Masset are both in the pen.

I think Bailey will start,
whether it’s in Cincy or Louisville is anybody’s guess. He’s had a good spring and they don’t want to throw him off by removing him from a schedule to the ’pen.
