Spring Game 9 Thread: Reds at Twins

Aaron Harang takes the mound today with an interesting lineup behind him. There is a lefty pitching for the Twins, Glen Perkins, but Baker has stacked the lineup with lefties - Dickerson, Bruce, Ward, and Jones. The right-handers that are sprinkled in are mainly youngsters with little or no chance of making the team. I suppose it's a good chance for the Reds to see if any of these guys can actually hit off of a lefty. No time better than the Spring to find this stuff out, I suppose.
The bullpen is full of guys on the fringe of the roster today. Check out the travel roster here (PDF).
Game time is 1:05pm. Those of you who have purchased the MLB Gameday Audio package will get to listen to the Twins broadcast today, if you so choose. The rest of us will have to follow along with Gameday. Such is our lot in life.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Dusto’s batting four LH hitters in a row?
I hope this craziness is shored up by opening day.

Mesoraco DH?
i love it when the DH hits 9th. good times all around.
"Hey! Look at the kid in the sombrero!"
bold prediction
I also think that Dusty really really wants Adam Rosales to make the team. The Reds can have an OF of CF’s and an infield of utility guys! They can switch positions every at-bat, causing more HAVOC
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield

This game is not on XM.
And I guess I’m okay with that. But when I tuned to the “What’s on XM?” channel they told me that women’s downhill skiing is on later today.
So there’s that.
"If you have a van or a car and it gets dark you turn on your lights that are called headlights but that's a funny name because vans and cars don't have heads. And real heads don't have lights."
It's on the Twins radio network, if you get that.
And GameDay Audio on MLB.com.

Twinscast says that Harang got up to 290 lbs last year.

And that it was a major factor in his poor season last year
Not sure I agree with that at all.

Yeah, at 6'7" I'm pretty sure 290 lbs is pretty damned easy to get to
Especially when you’re working out like ballplayers do.

I just wanted to mention that the new video boards at GABP are pretty sweet. I am fortunate enough to have an office overlooking the ballpark and I have witnessed their installation over the last few weeks. After running test patterns for about a week, they finally started to show some reds highlights on the big board over the last couple of days. It is awesome. I have more of a mixed reaction to the new video out of town scoreboard because I really liked the old, not-too-fancy one.
"I never should have given up the animation rights."
I would post some pictures if I had my camera at the office
"I never should have given up the animation rights."
don't have one
and the camera on my phone sucks
"I never should have given up the animation rights."
honestly, i don't know what to think about that

i didnt mean to sound nasty
i really just want to be able to put that picture up

maybe i should just send it to each red reporter individually

Still haven't seen Sin City.
At this point I’m saving it for my pile of movies that will be screened in Alan’s renovated basement with a full bar and a big ass tv. Opening Summer 2013.

MM, any interest in putting up a AL West preview sometime around the end of the month?
I thought you might like taking a peek at the A’s. And you’d have a certain fondness for the Griffey and Hamilton angles. And you write good.
(In case you missed it I kinda threw your hat in for it in another thread. You want your hat back?)

are these different from the team previews?
There's action across the street. It's Snowman! Take him!
Well, yes and no. There were no plans (that I knew of) for AL team previews.
And I thought there might be at least some interest in that young upstart league. So I just came up with an assignment for you and me and BubbaFan.
Do with it all whatever you will.

yeah, okay what's the deadline and word limit?
There's action across the street. It's Snowman! Take him!
The last of the team previews goes up on the 27th.
And then the season starts on the 6th sooo… sometime around April Fool’s Day?
I hadn’t thought about word limits. I guess I’m thinking of Adromache’s WBC previews as a sort of a template. If my kids ever get healthy i might be able to put more effort into it. I might get downright verbose. But, y’know, however much you think you might like to read about the Angels if you were a Reds fan on a Reds blog.

Its just spring training. Its just spring training.
Harang has been less than dominant in his first two outings.
The season doesn't start until the Cincinnati Reds take the field! Reclaim The Opener!!

Dusty managing like a mid-season game.
Flores removed after facing lefty.
The fact that he went 1-2-3...
through the Twins lineup is not nearly as important as the fact that he didn’t hustle from the bullpen. Are we sure this isn’t the Reds radio feed?

well, they certainly know what matters more to this organization

So a porn star is sueing andy phillips for impersonating Carl Pavano and Greg Dobbs for Sex? But it is someone impersonating phillips?

my guess
It’s someone who looks like Andy Phillips. If you look like Andy Phillips, you really can’t impersonate Derek Jeter or CC Sabathia. It’s the 21st century. Even if the porn star doesn’t know squat about baseball, she will presumably Google the name and check out the pics.
The impersonator seemed to know an awful lot about Andy. Makes me wonder if it’s a relative. He’s got a cousin who looks a lot like him, who’s a minor league catcher. Not suggesting it was him, but he could have a lot of relatives who look like him. It’s Alabama. His parents might have been related before they got married.
