Cactus League Game 8 Thread: Reds at Cubs
Homer Bailey kicks things off on the mound for the Reds today. This will be his first "real" action as he faced the Brewers in an unofficial game last Monday. The Cubs are split today, but since this is a home game, I'd expect that Bailey will see many of their regulars.
Bailey will be followed by Pedro Viola, Micah Owings, Jon Adkins, Enerio Del Rosario, and Logan Ondrusek.
I'm still waiting to see the Cubs pitchers.
Lineups may be after the jump, if I happen to check back in after they are announced. You can catch the game on the Big One, 700WLW, or possibly other affiliates, as well as on Gameday Audio. If none of those options work for you, there is always Gameday.

Alonso and Francisco in the same lineup = cool game to see(hear)
Stubbs + Dickerson in the same lineup = drama!

you sure can't accuse Dusty
of overworking Votto this spring.
And Rolen was originally supposed to play 3B. He was a late scratch.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Funny that when I don't see Votto in a ST lineup I think, "Ah,veteran."
But it’s not as if he’s not there like (IIRC) back in the day when Griffey and Dunn were given some Saturdays off.
I’m gona assume that Votto is in a cage somewhere just mashin.’

Put Votto in LF
and I’d like that lineup for 2011 – Janish included.

This would be the official
blindly optimistic lineup. Doug Dirt is in his mom’s basement giddy on fangraphs and NO2 right now.

So where can I listen to this game and who is pitching for the reds?
Volquez, Bailey, Cueto, Chapman, and Leake. The future is so bright I have to wear sunglasses.

Why is Slyde?
Where are the Zach Stewarts of yesteryear?

"A 3-2 line drive outta here to center."
Francisco homers.
Yesssss.
"Let's get this movie. We already have the underwear."
Brantley: "Let's get Francisco in Cincinnati right now."
Marty: “I agree.”
Brantley: “The only problem is .. where do you play him?”
Sooooo… fellas, let’s keep him down on the farm where he can get maximum playing time, yes?
Yes.
Okay then.
"Let's get this movie. We already have the underwear."
Francisco in Cincy right now
Would probably put up something like .250/.280/.450 with bad defense…no thanks

Starlin Casro and Darwin Barney?
I just found my new favorite Cubs. Awesome, awesome, names.

Brantley says Homer is not the spaz on the mound he used to be.
Still somewhat of a spaz but better than in the past.
"Let's get this movie. We already have the underwear."
Awww...
I was listening to WLW for 2 innings, and then they interrupted Brantley and announced they aren’t allowed to stream MLB games. I knew that, but why did I get to hear 2+ innings?

i actually have that pic saved on my desktop at work. the file name is “el nino destructor”. my regional manager visited us a few weeks back and did some work at my desk and noticed the file. it took some ‘splainin’.

Marty and Cowboy give the Dodgers love for signing Chad Tracy.
Chad at age 28: OPS+ of 82
Chad at age 29: OPS+ of 70
Chad’s 30 now.
"Let's get this movie. We already have the underwear."
By the time he hits 35, he'll be OPS+'ing something like -4!

What kind of name is Darwin Barney?
He looks Asian in his Gameday photo.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
silly
it’s a silly name.
In all seriousness, it looks like he’s indeterminately Asian and from Portland, OR.

Ownings does not appear to be especially interested in being the 5th starter.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
or opening in Cincinnati
I am going to start the bandwagon now, DRA Owings he will be wasting a roster spot that can be better used by somebody else.

And now our homerun hitters are out of the lineup.

to be fair
only Owings of the relievers had a chance to start on the 25-man

that does sound like he had a meltdown
I’m glad this is just ST! I hate losing to the Cubs like that
Louisville's too small for Logan
No, really. It’s too small.

Ondrusek should make the team just so we can bring him in after Danny Ray.
It’s the wave of the future. No longer will Dusty play knifey-spooney just with handedness, but also with height. Eckstein’s up? Bring in Danny Ray! Adam Dunn at the plate? C’mon, Ondrusek! (C’mondrusek?)

So why are we referring to Mr. Francisco as END?
