Spring Game 12: Reds at Phillies

The Reds travel to Clearwater today to try to follow up their exciting victory from Sunday with another win. The team is 6-5 so far this Spring, which really doesn't mean a whole lot, but it's better than being 2-9.
Bronson Arroyo goes for the Redlegs. He last pitched on Wednesday against the Netherlands where he threw 4 innings of 2-hit shutout ball. He's only surrendered 1 run and 4 hits in 6 innings so far this Spring, and he's looked pretty good while doing it. Lots of reasons to be excited by the pitching we've seen this Spring.
The offense will go up against Cole Hamels to start the game. Hamels has thoroughly dominated the Reds in his 4 career regular season starts, going 3-0 with a 0.60 ERA and 30 strikeouts in 30 innings. They've got their work cut out for them.
See the lineups after the jump.
It's a decent lineup given your typical Spring goals, but it sure seems odd to see Kepp play shortstop while Janish plays 2B when Janish is clearly the better defensive player at SS. I guess Dusty just wants to get a chance to see if Janish can handle 2B.
Game time is 1:05pm. No home audio today and I'm not sure about the Phillies broadcast. There is always Gameday though or you can follow along with BK on the Red Reporter Twitter feed.

I saw this on Sheldon's blog
Baker isn’t worried about the slow starts by Jeff Keppinger (.105 in 7 games) or Jacque Jones (.133 in 8 games coming in).
That’s a good point Dusty. Jones is only a couple points off his average from last year, a robust .147. Nothing to worry about at all.

More fun with Dusty quotes, this time from Fay
“Fifteen at-bats ain’t slow or fast,” Baker said. “Spring training can be misleading.”
Psst! Small sample sizes also count during the regular season, Dusty!
i solemnly swear
that if Jacque Jams makes the 25 man roster i will burn an effigy of Corey Patterson live on the internet.

That's something outrageous!
I miss the old days of the internet when men were men, hot girls were middle aged men, and hot underage girls were FBI agents.....
I'd like to think
that Kepp is playing short because there’s an actual competition there this spring, and Janish isn’t invited. Defensive play will probably be a big factor in who wins the job.

We had a trainer in here last week that's installing a new CRM
some of the people were complaining that they didn’t have text messages so they couldn’t use that feature.
He told them that you can get unlimited texts for 10 bucks a month, so quit being a dummy and call your cell phone provider and have them added

It's $20 with my carrier
And I may add it when I go back to work. Being layed of since November, I am not adding any more bills. Money is tight right now. The thing that sucks is I’m actually considering have my dish turned off for a while. And I would normally never consider this going into baseball season.
hey are you handing out jobs?
chan would like one too

nope
but I figure, there are a lot of people that read this site and you never know who might be looking for someone that matches your skillset.
Plus, I work for a company that is actually hiring, though in a limited fashion. If he was an IT guy, I may have been able to put him in touch with someone.

ok then
explain the difference…
not because i’m trying to be an ass, but because I don’t know what data warehousing means
Made from 100% recycled awesome,
by chandrathan on Mar 9, 2009 10:11 PM EDT up reply actions
well
a data warehouse is transactional data (say, sales data) that is optimally structured for analysis queries. So, while an operational system is set up to simplify things like invoicing and sales, while a data warehouse is designed for reporting, analysis, and decision support. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
To make a long story short (too late), I work with companies to take their data from an operational system and put it into a structure that allows them to gain knowledge about things like customer demographics, sales trends, and the like. It is much more closely aligned with DBA worrk and software programming than data entry, which I consider to be a non-technical skill.

i live close to Huntington WV
I have a BA in Psychology, and have experience as a case manager, but I have worked in a steel mill for the last 4 1/2 years. I make almost 4 times the money there than I can make with my degree.. Until I get layed off of course.
It sounds like it does pay to steel after all

i'm trying to follow on the right side of the page but it is not updating
Am I doing something wrong? It says I am following but nothing is happening.
if you are on Firefox
there is a nice plugin called Twitterfox that will update with tweets from whomever you are following. It does auto-refresh. That’s how I’ve been following BK today.
"How big IS your magic wand?"
I wouldn't manually refresh when you are in a game thread
if that’s what you mean.
If it’s not what you mean, then I don’t get it.
"How big IS your magic wand?"
Hanigan doubles
2 for 2 to push his BA up to .429. But stranded by Jacqe and Kepp who are now down to .111 and .091 respectively.
(This is out of sequence now. I typed it up, but then got a phone call before I hit post. But it still applies!)

At a certain point, we're going to have to acknowledge that even though it's only ST blah blah blah...
we’re hitting a lot of mufuggin grand slam home runs.

Is this what is now being called big HAVOC
I thought that we set up the team for Small Havoc
Dusty must be really concerned…this could wreak havoc for Hannigan’s playing time…

Injured wrist, day-to-day
Sounds like it’s one of those things that he’d play through during the season, but they are being cautious in the spring.
"How big IS your magic wand?"
Sore wrist
Dusty says it’s because of checking his swing and not swinging right
Sounds like it may be a personal problem
Interesting sort of Reds related
A vendor came in today and gave me the usual pen but also gave me a toothpick holder that will fit in my pocket. The first thing I thought was “I bet Dusty has one of these”.
