Spring Game 23 Thread: Reds at Pirates

I'm not all that concerned about Aaron Harang at this point. It sounds like he's been pitching to get himself in shape more than worrying about the actual game situation. However, I know there are plenty out there that would breath much easier if he would start posting some good results. Maybe today will be that day.
After being dominated by Paul Maholm yesterday (are lefties going to kill this team this year?), the Reds take on Ian Snell today. The nice thing about the move to Goodyear next year is that the Reds won't be playing the Pirates 25 times a year (including Spring/Regular season). I don't dislike the Pirates or anything, but it gets old playing the same teams all of the time.
You can see lineups after the jump.
Game time is 1:05pm. The Reds are on the radio today, or you can check them out on Gameday.

Go B-Team!
Jacque Jams didn’t play yesterday, and he’s not in the lineup today. Cause for relief?

that definitely makes me want to relieve myself

Shocking.
Reds B team > Pirates A team
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.

Reds B Team
is apparently better than the Reds A Team as well
by wishfuldrifter on Mar 22, 2009 1:55 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It's just not the B team
without Jones.

Pitch count
Acording to gameday Harang has thrown like 30 pitches in 5 inn.
If true, He can go all the way
by mexicanred on Mar 22, 2009 2:45 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Gameday messes up the pitch count
all hits or outs = 1 pitch
Ks = 3 pitches
BBs = 4 pitches

Sorry
didn´t know that, but helped me to remember somethig my father toldme.
Back in the late 50´s and early 60´, here in México they used to air the world series but two or thre hours after the game was over and used this format. The radio anouncer needed just one pitch for every play. The games lasted like 30 min.
by mexicanred on Mar 22, 2009 2:53 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
No problem
We all got fooled by it at one time or another.
Were the games any less dramatic with one pitch ABs?.. though at that time you were probably glad to get anything. We’re all kinda spoiled now with internet broadcasts and nearly full season television coverage.

Japan still does that today
They don’t limit it to one pitch, but they do compress it to the most important pitches. I don’t know how far behind the actual 1st pitch that they start, but they do compress the game to elminate a lot of the trips to the rosin bag, waiting for the ballboy to replenish the home plate umpire, etc. Call it “Baseball for World Series of Poker Fans”.

I really hope that Harang is back
Because if he can do this every time he goes out, we are good shape
by wishfuldrifter on Mar 22, 2009 2:59 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
34 no-hitters a year would kinda rock.
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
by Cy Schourek on Mar 22, 2009 3:20 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Indeed it would
Maybe he could throw in a perfect game or two as well every year.
So maybe he wont get a no-hitter every time he goes out… but if he could at least dominate to the tune of allowing less runs than the Reds have… that would work too
by wishfuldrifter on Mar 22, 2009 3:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I suppose I'd be content with that.

But would he get a 1st place vote for the Cy Young award?

Thanks a bunch for the PBP reports.
This was really nice to read through. Perhaps you could do this hippie a favor and at the end of an inning, post the inning and score, too? Cuz that would be marshmallowy delicious!

Obviously
The Reds need to start the likes of McDonald, Janish, Richar, etc., instead of BP, EdE, and the like, if they want any offense. ;-)
