Spring Game 6 Thread: Reds at Pirates

So this is when it starts to get serious for Homer Bailey. With Edinson Volquez and Johnny Cueto off to pitch in the WBC, Bailey should have regular starts for the next 3 weeks. I'm not so sure he really has a chance to make the squad, even if he pitches well. But, he could solidify himself as the first man up this summer with a strong Spring. That means taking care of business every time out. I am very interested to see what he can do today.
Available out of the bullpen today are RHP Mike Lincoln, LHP Aaron Fultz, LHP Daniel Ray Herrera, RHP Josh Roenicke and RHP Ramon Ramirez. Bradenton and Sarasota are within spitting distance of each other, so I wouldn't be surprised if pretty much the entire team is available today.
Zach Duke is on the mound for the Pirates. This should be a test for Chris Dickerson, who I'm sure would love to show that he can hit lefties well. If this were the regular season, I'd be a little upset that CDick is leading off, but then he is playing CF, so I don't have much of an argument, do I?
Game time is 1:05 pm. No home radio today. Not sure if the Pirates are broadcasting it. Otherwise, your only option is to follow along on Gameday.

Bailey
Looks like two Ks, a BB, and a ground out…good enough start for me

That’s 4K, 1BB and no hits thus far in two ST innings.

What is the consensus on Rosales, I like him for some reason but I don’t know why.
I'm with you
of course, he’s just a utility guy and Valaika is probably going to steal his thunder, but I like gawky Michiganders. He probably doesn’t have much of a chance left in the Reds system if Valaika and Frazier come up as planned.

XM Home Plate- Inside Pitch with Jeff Joyce and Kevin Kennedy
Just played Marty’s Opening Salvo against Bowden from yesterday’s broadcast. “WOW. And we thought WE were being harsh.”
From Kevin Kennedy: “Honestly, that’s the kind of stuff I heard, too, over the years about Jim Bowden.”
Now they’ve gone to the 2nd cut (a full two minutes uninterrupted), where sMarty accounts the JFK resignation, Dick Wagner firing, and Jim Bowden as the most memorable days of his lifetime. Ending with Marty’s “I have no compassion for him whatsoever.”
Again Kennedy: "The PBP guy is on the inside and knows what’s real. That’s the kind of stuff that trickled even to me on the West Coast. He (Jim Bowden) thought he was going to be the GM of the Dodgers until word got to Tommy Lasorda about Bowden’s bragging about how he ‘got one over on him’ and ‘Lasorda doesn’t know what he’s doing.’ And Tommy squashed that.
Hadn’t heard the L.A. stuff…

you're right
According to Wikipedia:
On July 31, 2008, Hansen was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates along with Brandon Moss in a three-team deal that sent Manny Ramirez to the Los Angeles Dodgers and Jason Bay to the Boston Red Sox.

My God a walk...'He Who Swings Like a Girl' (Valaka's Indian name)
seals his fate with a base clogging walk and then another havoc creating unnecessary base running out. He’ll enjoy his next stint in Louisville.

Are you fucking serious
Another baserunning out??? The Reds may not win in ’09 if these HAVOC creating shenanigans continue
Update
- Jones groundout
- Valaika walks, havoced at 2nd, two outs
- Frazier Ks
- Fultz on to pitch

I'm trying to get those guys to advertise on RR
but they haven’t gotten back to me after our initial exchange.

I still think "covah" is the answer
It’s Havoc done the wrong way
"You never pass up an opportunity to talk to a woman in a red dress." -- Buck O'Neil (1911-2006)
But, by definition, if you create "havoc"
you must expect negative outcomes as much as positive. If they’ve created a situation that’s disorganized and stupid, then they’re doing havoc right.
There's action across the street. It's Snowman! Take him!
all this talk about Dusty ruining arms,
and its their LEGS that dont work.

From the live box score
Catcher Jaramillo doubled
and eventually scored via Doumit— no hit, so either a sacrifice or a Reds error?

So, the Nationals haven't addressed their GM situation
But they have a new mascot! Although really, it’s the old mascot on TrimSpa, which is somehow even more frightening.
That mascot will be dead in two years
TrimSpa, baby!
(Too soon?)

Due up this inning:
With 2008 OBP listed:
Norris Hopper .286
Paul Janish .270
Jacque Jones .239
That’s ten pounds of suck in a five pound bag.

Top 8

Update
This just keeps getting better and better
- Hopper scrappy groundout
- Janish doubles, advances to 3rd on WP
- Jones flies out, Janish tagged at the plate, one more baserunning out for the books

Mark Berry Strikes again ?
Havoc Sucks

It is a comically large amount of baserunning outs
at the very least Havoc is hilarious

And our baserunning has gone south.

Gameday lists the score in their header as Pittsburgh 2, Cincinnati 1
So they are listing the home team first. Goofy.

Update:
Valaika flies out to CF.
Frasier flies out to CF
Barker flies out to LF.
Game over.

I didn't catch the last few innings
so is that the truth, Sojourner?
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
Anyone else watching MLB network right now?
Replay of Nolan Ryan’s 7th no-hitter at age 44. Blows my mind.
Wear something sexy to my funeral.
Random update from Seattle:
from Rotowire:
Griffey took his first live swings Monday, and manager Don Wakamatsu said Griffey’s
knee appears to be just fine and there are no restrictions on his use, the
Seattle Times reports.
Griffey, who started taking batting practice last week,
participated in a simulated game Monday for the first time. Griffey hit all
fly balls, according to the report, that probably would have been outs.
