Print[Note by Slyde, 03/04/09 6:06 PM EST ] REMINDER: If you signed up to do an NL Team preview, they start on Monday, March 9th. Please check the schedule for your date.
No day game today, so here's what Reds fans are talking about:
- The Sporting News Today has a feature on Adam Pettyjohn, and his bizarre story. Part 1 of 3 runs today. (h/t to RLN) Definitely worth checking out, and you can count me among the ones who hope No Guts No Glory has another great season in Louisville.
- I know jch already mentioned this in a thread, but it warrants repeating. A follow-up on the story about the minor leaguer who was traded for bats takes a tragic turn. I think that's the last transaction of that type we'll be seeing.
- JinAZ has a story about Ramon Hernandez on the Spring Training '09 website. He goes into it a bit further on his site.
- Also from the Spring Training '09 site, a little piece on the Reds starting rotation by our very own Slyde.
- Tim Curtis has a post on Fay's blog about how the Reds playing in the WBC fared in exhibition play yesterday. He mentioned Reds farmhand Luca Panerati, who was apparently added to Italy's roster while all of the beat writers were sleeping. He gave up a HR to Elijah Dukes in his inning.
- Doug has an article about the value of the Reds minor league system.
- Chalk up another article about the Reds being a sleeper team in the NL, this time by Tufts Daily. These articles do not bode well for our chances this season.
- From the Reds Internal Affairs blog, a look inside the GABP Press Box.
- Fresh Talks has an interview with Chris Dickerson about his WePlayGreen site. He's a very astute young man.
- SI has an article about one of the most interesting stories in baseball right now, the two kids who were brought over from India to pitch in the Pirates system. They also write one of my favorite blogs when they're not pitching or hanging out with Barry Bonds.
- I don't have a link for this, but HAVOC Energy drinks have released a Cincinnati Bearcats version of their fine beverage into the Cincinnati area. I had one this morning, and by golly I'm disrupting the ordinary. They were right.
The Reds play tonight at 6:05 against the Netherlands, but no radio and no GameDay coverage. The Reds Internal Affairs blog has lineups.

It’s obvious that “Barker” should bat cleanup.

However don't forget to have your dogs, cats, racoons, giraffes, wiley musk oxen and aberrant RRs neutered or spayed

Barker
I think he batted cleanup last year…for the Louisville Bats.

Did I mention I go to UMd?
My friend took a clip of it and threw it on YouTube, for those that are curious.
Last home game of my college career, FWIW.
And I just did some GoogleMapping, and if Insh’Allah I get into where I’d like to get into, I’d only be 14 hours away from Goodyear, AZ next spring! Woohoo!
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield
I would like personally thank Slye for including Ramon Ramirez as a 5th spot contender
in his article. Ramon will most likely be in Louisville come April 6. However,ll I like the kid’s emotional and mental make-up. Plus as I’ve said B 4 – he knows how to go about pitching within his limits and showed some maturity last season when called upon by the Big Club. Yeah I know I’ve said this previously…got a man crush on the Kid.

No coverage of the game?
Figures. The Yankees and the Red Sox games had live box scores, at least. Guess they can’t be bothered for the Reds and the Netherlands.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
good
They didn’t for the Netherlands vs. the Pirates. Even though the game featured a RBI double for Andyfan…off Sydney Ponson.

Just when I had forgotten about losing the last five games of the season...
That article reminds me of that, plus notes that it’s the longest current losing streak.
Nice.
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.
yes, but they also have the longest current winning streak in the World Series
it’s a tradeoff.

If I've learned one think from this post,
it’s that Indians talk like Jar-Jar Binks and George Lucas should be sued for everything he’s worth.
Does anybody have the feed from the Nether Regions up?
I think Mads could translate for us.

Scoreless at the end of the 2nd
a lovely 65 degree day at Tired Old Ed Smith Stadium. A steady 16 mph wind is blowing flat-out toward LF.
Arroyo has pitched 2 scoreless innings, including a pickoff in the 1st. He has not walked a batter.
The NetherRegions’ pitcher, VanderHurk von Knobsniffer has shut out the Reds thru 2 by scattering 2 hits and 2 walks.

Scoreless in the middle of the 3rd, Netherlands 0, Reds 0.
Arroyo threw a perfect 3rd.

I wonder how many
players on the netherlands team have ever actually been to the Netherlands proper.
Maybe just an Amsterdam state of mind.

I wonder what the error was
You don’t see outfielders get errors that often.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
did he miss the cutoff man
Or try to throw it all the way in when he should have thrown it to a cutoff man?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Top of 4, still scoreless
VanderHurk von Knobsniffer has been chased, replaced with RHP David Bergman

Middle 4th.
Arroyo has retired at least the last 7 straight.
I laid my bed and I'm going to have to sit on it. - A-Roid the Liar
Looks like Nix, Keppinger, and Barker due up in the bottom of the 4th.
Last time up, Nix walked to clog the bases. Luckily, Barker came up 2 batters later to GIDP.
Havoc due up anytime.

I'm confused.

And Cincinnati's leading, 2-0
Dickerson has one RBI, but I don’t see another in the box score. Looks like Cota scored on an error?
The Netherlands has 4 errors now…
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
"The Netherlands has 4 errors now"
I think this is correct english.
but if the reds had 4 errors most people would type
The Reds have 4 errors now.
I think it should be “The Reds has 4 errors now”
Does the have/has usage change based on sinularity or sound of singularity?
Made from 100% recycled awesome,
by chandrathan on Mar 4, 2009 7:27 PM EST up reply actions
Your subject is correct.
The team names are different, since they are plural versions of singular, e.g. Red, Yankee, Wildcat. Reporters still screw those up all the time, though.
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.
neglecting the accuracy of the statement
The reds are/is the best team in baseball.
In that case they are a singular team
Made from 100% recycled awesome,
by chandrathan on Mar 4, 2009 7:33 PM EST up reply actions
I believe that the determiner "The" in front of Netherlands calls for singularity in conjugation
While “the Reds” would be plural, while “The Reds Team” or “The Reds’ Team” would both be plural.
I think we can make this easier if we just refer to the opposition as The Nards.

So Gray and I, as usual, are both correct.

Impressive.
Ingmar is listed as having given up 2 runs but 0 ER.
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.
I think we finally found a team with a defensively worse left side of the infield than the Reds
3 errors from SS and 3B so far, in the 5th inning.

No SB, but Dickerson has been caught stealing once.

Team Netherlands was the victim of a pick-off in the first.
The Dutch word for havoc is Verwoesting.
Backwards, that spells Jacque Jones.

uh, boy
That guy’s never played higher than high-A.

Screw you, Netherknobs!
If they could hit, we could call them the Dutch Blasters.

Oh, wait.
Isn’t he in our organization?
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.
We claimed him off waivers from the Twins in 2007
And got lit up in High A to the tune of a 5.86 ERA and WHIP of 1.737
I laid my bed and I'm going to have to sit on it. - A-Roid the Liar
And instead of low A...
Why not make that A, and make all the others one A higher?
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.
Sarasota is high-A
Generally, college players start at high-A. The high schoolers start in A.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Yeah...
He had a 3.87 ERA in 111 innings for the Sarasota Reds last year.
We want to build long period of time. I didn’t come here for the shot run.

Middle 6th, Netherknobs 1, Reds 3.
Coco touched for a hit, a walk, and a run. He struck out 2, but I got me a feeling I could have done just as well.
I laid my bed and I'm going to have to sit on it. - A-Roid the Liar
He did face the top of the order...
But that was after he walked their #9 hitter.

well
It looks like he did better the second inning. His ERA dropped from 18 to 9.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
according to the box score
He pitched one inning. No hits, no runs, one walk, one SO.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
make that
two innings. Add another SO to those numbers.
Guess he mowed the Reds down.

oops
this was posted in the wrong place. It was supposed to be about Maloney.

Is that 2 perfect innings since he got rocked?
at least 7 straight, right?

I think more accurately, he mowed our AAA team down.
of the Reds in the game, only D. Ward has a good shot of making the Opening Day roster.

might be optional
Up to the teams to decide if they want to keep playing.
Looks like they’re playing the 10th.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I remember
the first spring training game Bubba played against the Yankees. It went 10 innings, then they decided to quit because they’d used all the pitchers they brought.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
You'd think we could hit these guys once we got 6 deep into their pitching
but not so much so far.
