Spring Game 33 Thread: Pirates at Reds

And so, the end of the Reds run at Ed Smith Stadium is here. They are a combined 99-84-2 as the home team at Ed Smith, so a win today will put them at the century mark in wins with a winning pct of .543. During their 12-year run in Sarasota, the Reds have managed an 846-937 record during the regular season for a .474 winning percentage. So, Ed Smith has been kind to the Reds, to say the least.
Edinson Volquez makes his last start of the Spring. He has yet to pitch more than 5 innings in a game, so hopefully we'll see at least 6 today. On the plus side, he's only given one run in Grapefruit action, which came in his last start this past Saturday. His Grapefruit League ERA is a svelt 0.47. If there is one concern about Volquez, it's that he's surrendered 8 walks in his last 13 innings pitched. Obviously that ratio can't hold up if he's going to be successful during the season.
No word on who is pitching for the Pirates as of noon today.
See the lineups after the jump.
Game time is 1:05pm. The Reds are on the radio today, or you can check them out on Gameday.

Petey can obviously answer for himself, but
I’m guessing it’s because the EST games start at 4:00 for him, so he’s probably still doing work, or eating dinner, etc. while the games are going on live.

Best case scenerio
is that I get home early in Los Angeles at 8:20 pm EDT, and can catch up to the live part of the game by 9:30 pm EDT, assuming I don’t eat and ignore my family.
Mostly it’s not worth the hassle. Once home. I’ll watch as much of the game on delay as my son wants to see, then put him thru his nightly routine, put him to bed around 11 pm EDT, then hang with the wife until she falls asleep around 12:20 am EDT. Then I can retire to my Tiki Lounge for the remainder of the game, which I can finish at around 1:30 am EDT.

An odd set of conversations today
things I’ve noticed said today:
“This offense has had trouble scoring runs this Spring.”
“This is not a team that is going to be waiting around for the 3-run home run.”
“Dusty Baker has a lot of adequate options on this roster (on offense).”
This statements seem out of sync with me.

Sorry, that second statement needs the context of they were saying it as a positive thing
but Marty and Mercker seem concerned that the Reds won’t score enough this year, but at least they won’t be waiting around for a 3-run home run. It should be okay though because they have plenty of good options, even though they won’t score any runs. And they should sign Sheffield because they need some power in the lineup so they could, what, wait around for a 3-run home run?

A lot like what they said with Dunn and BP.
They could have put Dunn at first, but they said it wouldn’t work. Dunn then goes on to play 19 games at first for the D-Backs and is going to be the starter at first for the Nats.
They could have tried moving BP to short, but they have continually insisted on keeping him at second even though moving him to short would help solidify the defense up the middle.

I wouldn't use the Nats' decision as a guideline
They don’t exactly have a great track record of talent evaluation. Besides, the only reason he’s playing first is because they have a full outfield.

I'd like to apologize for my emotional outburst...
I will now find some medication and return to being an adult…

It ain't your fault.

More Bruce failed HAVOC.
Can we ban Bruce from creating HAVOC?

Clarification:
Is failed HAVOC the failure to steal a base, or is failed HAVOC the failure to get caught stealing or get picked off?

Failed HAVOC
could be anything the ends in an out that was cause by trying to cause HAVOC. In this case, Bruce was caught stealing.. 1 SB 2 CS this spring..4SB 6CS last season.. I don’t like those odds..

I think that others on this site...
(Myself included) use HAVOC ironically, to refer to the actual act of getting caught stealing, getting picked off, getting thrown out having taken off running on a line drive or fly ball or getting thrown out trying to take an extra base.

I'm glad we are building this team on SPEED and DEFENSE.
3 errors and fail HAVOC today.. Early (3 runs or so) scoring with good pitching and late loosing seem to be the MO for spring.

Derek Lutz was Robert Downey Jr's character name in Rodney Dangerfield's "Back To School"
And knowing is half the battle.

Need to add the pickoffs...
Failed bunt attempts and thrown out taking the extra base too.

If we add in the pickoffs, we also have to add in the PO errors
and factor in how much the pitcher was distracted versus how much the hitter was distracted. I don wanna do dat.
13 singles and a double today?
I don’t mid building a team on speed and defense. But someone needs to let Jocko know that he don’t have much spoeed nor defense, so it’s starting to sound decidedly ASSHAT.

HAVOC!
This just in – Jeter’s batting leadoff for the Bankee$ this year.

So he must be starting in CF, also
He’d still be batting 2nd if he were a shortstop

If they'd move BP to short, then he could bat 2nd.
Makes sense.
