Cactus League Game 6 Thread: Brewers at Reds
by Slyde on Mar 11, 2010 2:00 PM EST
in Spring Training
Email
PrintThis is a split-squad game for the Brewers as their main roster will be staying home to play the Oakland A's. We won't see too many regulars in the Brewers lineup in this one.
That's probably a good thing for Johnny Cueto, who was roughed up in his first spring outing last week. He did have 4 strikeouts in 2 innings and an error led to two of the four runs allowed to be marked as unearned. Still, would like to see Cueto come out and shutdown the Brewers down for 3 innings today - just to make me feel better.
Also on the mound for the Reds will be Nick Masset, Daniel Ray Herrera, Jared Burton, Enerio Del Rosario, Pedro Viola, and Logan Ondrusek.
Lineups are after the jump. No media coverage of the game today, so you'll just have to follow along on Gameday.

Good lord.
I am dealing with an absurdly high strung academic who somehow ended up in charge of the organizing committee for this conference. He can’t deal with not receiving a response to any e-mail he sends within a day, even when he gives a deadline several weeks off.
After the second one he sent out, I responded to say that yes, I received it, and would provide the other information well in advance of the deadline, and he immediately responded by FREAKING OUT. Holy crap.
How are everyone else’s annoying coworkers and colleagues doing?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
My kids cry and bitch a lot.

The van is mine!
Well, it’s a company car. Boss bought it for me.
Getting out of the Capital City with it is the issue. A lot of it depends on the weather.. for Opening Day.
See.. if we get some pleasant weather then I’ll take my wife and kids. If it’s cold and rainy, I prolly won’t. So if I go to Opening Day with buddies then I prolly won’t also go to Game 2 with buddies. Not saying it won’t happen… but I won’t have a good idea about it all until maybe Opening Day Eve.

The lazy, arrogant jerk I'm working with this week took 5 days without answering my HIGH PRIORITY EMAIL.
I finally marched down to his office, which prompted a visit later that day – a 5-minute conversation we should have had last week. I’ve spoken with his boss. He’s been written up, but he doesn’t know it yet.
And now I haven’t seen him in a few days AGAIN. I’m content doing the whole project alone, but when I need answers, he needs to do his fucking job before I publicly dress him down for his unprofessional approach and inexcusable chronic absence. Another supervisor asked me ab out the project, and we discussed it without Dr. Douchebag. I told him that I’d be happy to look over the graphic mock-ups so that his team didn’t get screwed over with last-minute changes, but that I had to be careful not to do Dr. Douchebag’s job for him. He understood.
I’m angry now, and need lunch beers.
Have a nice day, Gray! :)

I'm trying to organize a jazz festival at my school. Excuses I've heard for why a band teacher can't bring his/her band for a couple hours on a Saturday to play and hear some music:
1-Band member has a confirmation that day
2-Wife is having a baby in 2 months (one month after the festival)
3-Director is having back trouble
4-Not sure I can get a (free) school bus to drive the kids over
5-Having family issues
6-Kid has a lacrosse game that morning

That may be true
but it’s hard to imagine what context would salvage some of the things he said in those interviews. Also hard to imagine stage-managed celebrities would forget they were in the presence of a reporter. And if you strip away the poor choices of word, the content of his remarks is probably still offensive — or at least horribly ill-advised.

the type of john mayer music i like is his blues stuff.
the pop songs are ok and do showcase some of his true talent but his Trio stuff is eye-poppingly good. he’s a fantastic guitar player.
i try not to associate the artist with the fan base and let the music/performance speak for itself. dave’s act is just too broadway showtunes-y for me.

Strictly construed, that rule would prevent us from doing game recaps

Perhaps they do not see RR as competition
but rather a community that is promoting their product, even if indirectly.
Then again, so would a RR PBP.
Also, am I the only one who would listen to a ST RR PBP game on delay? I’d prefer delayed audio PBP to Gameday.

It probably becomes copyright infringement in their eyes at a certain tipping point
in which the potential competition to their exclusively licensed content is seen as great than the free promotion. And it’s not just MLB, it’s WLW as a licensee of MLB. As soon as you’re approaching a potentially profitable product that approaches theirs, you’re on their turf. It doesn’t matter if you’re doing it for free or they aren’t doing weekday games. I’m sure they’d be on it. Not saying it should be the way of things, but that’s what I suspect is true.

That is moving into a grey area
MLB tried to collect royalties from fantasy leagues, saying that stats are MLB property, and that was struck down in court. So I feel like game recaps would fall into the same category.

true
but the cool part of the internet isn’t “let’s get people who lost their job to keep doing their job,” it’s the democratization of the whole process. If there’s another guy who can do some aspect of it better, there’s no reason why they shouldn’t.
I guess my contention is that the need is being pretty well served
but if there’s another angle to take or you can best C. Trent’s product with better writing, better media and better presentation then the internet definitely makes it more expedient to do so.
The democratization already allows us to start an infinity of blogs about the Reds and post an infinity of comments on Red Reporter. Red Reporter has the best community and is not constrained from what it can publish by the need for access. C. Trent occupies a nice middle territory between RR and Fay in sensibility. So if that’s the spectrum, then you’d have to figure out where the niche is.

but the coverage of everything else is not even close to what it is for the Reds. CNati still competes with the big boys but the big boys have their best people on all sports. the coverage for college and bengals has seen a huge dropoff since ST started and if Trent wants to boast his site as “the future of sports journalism” he’s going to have to not spread himself so thin when it comes to those other areas.
i do think they have the right idea though. it will be interesting to see what happens in the coming years.

But in terms of what's possible
If there was a demand for that, in any major sense, WLW would step in.
It would be nice if they were more forward-thinking about it though. They could take on someone like C. Trent, but with PBP skills, who was self-financed (meaning they don’t have to invest capital) and spin off something that started as a web feed via subsciption for the weekday games. It could be branded differently so as not to be “official” coverage. That’d probably cut into Marty’s contract though.

Red Reporter is the one Reds site I actually get excited about when there’s a new post. A good combination of news, analysis, and intelligent, funny discussion. I appreciate the fact that almost all of our news comes from other sources like C. Trent and Fay, but I can’t help but wonder what it’d be like if we had one of Our Guys on the beat, too.
I feel the same way
I guess the challenge is to do something different than C. Trent and Fay, while cultivating the access that justifies being on the beat in the first place. There’s nothing about the actual game events or statistics that can’t be done from home. Being on the beat would mean have to mean breaking stories, finding out what BP thinks about something and uncovering the machinations of the front office — and there’s a danger of becoming beholden to maintain the access that makes it a worthwhile endeavor.

I'll say this, because I've actually thought a lot about this for 5 years now
I don’t see the advantage having access to the same quotes that we get from CTR or Fay or Hal. Even if we were a legit news organization that got equal time, we’d still be hearing the exact same words as everyone else.
And if we decided to walk our own path and do our own individual interviews, the majority of players are experts at canned responses. I’m not saying that we couldn’t do something slightly different, but just because I (or someone else) gets the chance to ask Dusty about on base percentage or Phillips about being selfish or Bruce about his fantastic hair doesn’t mean that we’re going to get anything but a weak, uninformative response.
That’s just my two cents. I’d love more access, but I don’t think more access necessarily means more informed.
Red Reporter or follow on Twitter: @redreporter

believe me, I’d love to have more involvement with the team, but I’m not sure what that would really mean outside of breaking news faster. Otherwise, I think we’d basically be in the same boat we are now.

It kinda makes you wonder how much journalism is involved in this whole racket
Sheldon is a “beat reporter” for the MLB. How far away is that from publicist, really? Fay’s command of the english language is tenuous at best and, speaking from a purely objective standpoint here, Hal is blind. (his years and years of service, plus relationships with the organization make his coverage terrific, of course.)
I’m not sure what point I’m trying to make here, btw. just thinking out loud.
There's not exactly much news to break...
I mean, it’s a baseball team. If the reporters went away but the team just had a publicist post everything important to their website, would we really be any worse off?

Well nothing matters in a cosmic sense
Baseball, doubly so.
It would certainly be an uphill battle getting and maintaining sufficient access, then separate interviews, asking interesting questions that elicited interesting answers. And the returns would be underwhelming to start.
But if you could get access to some pressers and were able to gradually change the culture as people retire and eventually install a modern day Ring Lardner as beat reporter with a sabermetric Vin Scully in the booth, following the Reds would be a lot more enjoyable — if that sort of thing matters to you.

it's a reasonable hunch
and he should be. We just haven’t heard about Owings in the conversation a whole lot and he gotten a starting role yet — early in the game, with potential to go more than one inning. Suggests they want to try something else in #5 spot.
Owings might not be there long anyway, considering Leake, Wood and Chapman. If they think he’s suited for the bullpen, it might make sense to have him there now and start carving out his role.

Dickerson is good at baseball
It just sucks that his skill-set is perfect for CF. I like Stubbs too and think he could have a big year.

1-1 now
Not sure why Gameday charges an earned run to Burton. A throwing error was involved that kept that inning going. Though maybe the fact that Edmonds just got a 2 out hit makes the scorer assume the run would score. Or maybe Gameday is just wrong.
The season doesn't start until the Cincinnati Reds take the field! Reclaim The Opener!!
Whew!
All is right again with the world.

I swear I'm sitting here figuring out how to best sell the scripts for 92 episodes of THE O.C. to the Czech Republic.
Along with Gossip Girl. And Full House.

What are they going to do with scripts?
Translate them or something?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I think they sell the main format for the show, the storylines, and sometimes the theme music,
plus the original scripts and copies of the American version. Then they can change the script to their liking (local language and vernacular, along with swapping out pop culture references to more current or local references) and shoot it how they want, even videotaping it shot-for-shot if they desire.
I’ve seen eastern European versions of Perfect Strangers and Step by Step. I wish I could share, but I legally cannot. Perhaps youtube could oblige.
It’s really…something.

Seems like a bit of a pickle
to sell a premise of a bunch of spoiled asshole yet pretty rich kids in Orange County. I’d pay good money to see the Eastern European version of that.

There's always a greener patch of land somewhere closer. :P
Or you could make the protagonist an anti-American immigrant living in the O.C.

anybody have Tim Holland in the death pool?
Tim Holland, a world backgammon champion who was one of the most prominent competitors in the game’s modern heyday, has died. He was 79.
Holland died Wednesday.

technically no

They lost that one, too.
I think he means since they’re 3-3, the “verge” part entails winning one more.
I thought they won that one
and I assumed “verge” meant that with this win they would be winners.

Another fielding error by Alonso.
I’m starting to think that we trade Alonso to the AL. Perhaps along with END, as his stock has likely peaked, sadly.

Danny Dorn, Alexander Smit, Chris Denove, and Brandon Yarbrough
Correct?

Good to see Cueto pitch better and ALWAYS a good thing to see star players get out of a little slump by knocking one out of the park.
Anyone know if today’s game is on the radio? Or will I be stuck stairing at my phone and/or computer?
I think after the first game of Spring Training
WLW only airs weekend games.

I was browsing ST pics at cincinnati.com
and I barely recognized Votto in this shot, I’m not really sure why:
Maybe it is because of the slightly longer hair and because he’s not wearing a hat, but I was definitely reading Christian Bale from that picture. This is the kind of indepth posts you can look forward to this season
he does look different
I think it’s because from that angle, you can’t really see his eyebrows.
And is that Janish at left?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
caption doesn't say
but it certainly looks like him. Too bad he is so obscured by hat and sunglasses.
