Cactus League Game 13 Thread: Indians at Reds

PrintBronson Arroyo makes his 3rd start of the spring tonight against Cleveland. He has yet to give up a run in 5 innings. He has struck out 2 batters with no walks and only 2 hits allowed. And yet, he's been overshadowed every time out there. That's a good thing. Hopefully he keeps it going tonight.
He'll be followed by Enerio Del Rosario, Jared Burton, Daniel Ray Herrera, and Micah Owings.
Indians put Fausto Carmona on the mound. He's pitched 3 innings of shutout baseball with a hit and a strikeout.
Lineups are after the jump. Indians have the broadcast today on Gameday Audio, or you can follow along on Gameday.

Two game threads in one day!?
It’s like Christmas!

and it probably looks like Christmas, too
Are they wearing those lame adjustable caps again?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I hope so.
I’d buy a game-worn one, but my head is stinking huge.

I don't know if that's actually what it looks like

That Weathers talking to Hanigan?

I'm pretty sure it's Harang
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Looks like Weathers to me, too, but who knows.
It also looks like they’re waiting in two lines for Hanigan to whisper something secret in their ears.
by the finest muffins on Mar 17, 2010 9:17 PM EDT up reply actions
It was
Weathers did play in that game, but I’m pretty sure Votto and BP were out of the game by the time he came in.
Harang didn’t do too well that day. 7 hits, 6 runs, 3 walks. Didn’t get out of the 4th inning.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I bet it's Aaron Fultz
He’s about the same height as Hanigan and he’s a lefty, which is what is indicated by the picture.

could be
He’s the guy who came in after Harang.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
It looks like weathers
it may not be.
however, there is not enough evidence in that picture to suggest it is a left handed player.
actually, if you look at the way phillips is holding his glove, it would indicate that the pitcher was right handed.
should I dig out my notes on this game
or are you guys having too much fun debating it? :-)
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
except you can see his glove up by his chest
and the pitcher would have the ball in his glove, so he wouldn’t be holding his glove like BP.

Damn, your pictures are awesome.
You planning any more baseball trips anytime soon?

thanks
I didn’t go to spring training this year, partly because the Reds are now in Arizona, partly because I have some family commitments this year that are eating up my vacation time. Maybe next year.
I do plan to catch a Bats game or three when they come to New York.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
you take the best pictures of Jay Bruce
he looks like a mega male model there—Brucelander! (sry I’m tired)
Definitely Weathers.
I don’t think Dusty Baker or Ryan Hanigan come in anywhere near Harang’s 6-7. And I’d recognize David Weathers’ profile anywhere.
Definitely Aaron Fultz
Danny Richar and Jonny Gomes both came in to the game to start the bottom of the 7th inning, the same inning that Weathers came in. Phillips and Votto were no longer in the game.

This would have been so much easier
if Brandon Phillips would kindly have moved his head. Fan favorite, my butt.

This game's not on the Tribe's television network.
Tommorow’s is. But I’ve gotta help my son play Mario Kart online with some nerds.
, bitches!
Speaking of which
I forgot that my wife is going out of town tomorrow and I will be on kid duty, which will include me picking him up from daycare. Ergo, I may be out on the Kart.

Are the Indians sort of coyly trying to remove Chief Wahzoo off their image list? It’s still on the helmets but the caps and shirt fronts don’t have it now.
The baseball-bat collision is violent and involves large forces which act over a very short time and which compress the ball to a fraction of its normal size. -- Alan M. Nathan
I think they did that last year.
I thought that I noticed the same thing but then he popped up so often throughout the season (some promotional giveaways IIRC) that I gave up on the idea.
, bitches!
by Fat Vegas Alan on Mar 17, 2010 9:44 PM EDT up reply actions
could be trying to see if they can market the new image
before they commit to giving up on the old one. That would be hard to do, but I love their insistence that “most” native tribes are OK with it and consider it an “honor.”
Oh well, I am watching the Chicago Bulls play tonight in green uniforms. It doesn’t help them play better either.

Chief Wahzoo ?
Wow that’s incredible…that is also the name of my penis.

I just noticed Cairo is DHing
I know it’s only spring training, but Cairo??

The little Rotoworld ticker says..
Lincoln’s no longer a rotation candidate.
(Sorry if this is old news.)
, bitches!
Even if it's old, you can say that as many times as you want
Sheldon has been saying it’s gonna be hard to keep Chapman of the OD roster if he keeps pitching like he has I don’t see it, but he’s closer to the team than me. Any truth to it or is Sheldon just blowin stuff out his ass?

well
i just wasted a lot of time opening up 10 different threads that appeared to have new comments in them.
You're not the only one.
I read “Ed Hardy” on those and just stopped.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
Double for Stubbs!
It’s nice getting hits from the leadoff position from time to time.
by the finest muffins on Mar 17, 2010 10:17 PM EDT reply actions
Leadoff?
He needs to have runners to drive in!
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
It's all good.
Our RBI guy knocked him in later.

So...
Arroyo isn’t starting off so well…
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
Just call it the Irish spelling.
They love their extra silent letters.

My theory is that nobody told him he was pitching tonight so he went out and got Irish after game 1
"aaron harnann is so aweseom" - justin
I bet you're right...
He’s totally wasted right now…
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
Gameday
shows the ball going right to 3B. Should Francisco have gotten that?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
The announcer said the ball hit the bag.
He didn’t make it sound like a mistake on END’s part.

Bruce draws a walk.
I like seeing our guys get walks.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
Frazier is making a great case for AAA...
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
Really, well I will have to reconsider the merits of AAA

Jocketty answered some Chapman-related questions via Fay earlier today:
Could he make the team as a reliever? "That has not been discussed. Probably not."Seemed relevant to some discussions around these parts.
Because qualifying arbitration by 2012 affects his contract, will that be a factor in the decision if he makes the team? "If he’s good enough to make the team, no. We look at that with all our players, but it doesn’t affect the decisions we make."
by the finest muffins on Mar 17, 2010 10:47 PM EDT reply actions
So there's the answer.
If for the next three weeks he continues to outpitch all other contenders* for the last spot in the rotation.. he’s going against the Cubs on the first Saturday afternoon of the season. (Unless he gets skipped in order to keep the front four on a five day cycle. In which case he’d pitch in Miami the following Wednesday.)
*It should be noted that (statistically anyway) Mike Leake and Travis Wood are not leaving Chapman a lot of room to falter.

Hmm
Stubbs struck out. He needs some motivation.
STUBBS! HIT OR GO TO AAA!
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
Stubbs up again...
Let’s see if he heard you, crolfer.

It was a Badroyo night, apparently.

Bronson could be up.. or he could be down.
He’s a yo yo.

he could be dipping into the green beer
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
didn't even think of that
if he dips too much he will be green by morning (that joke arrived form teh 40s I think)
Pwings living dangerously
But he escapes the jam.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
How come these other teams are broadcasting all their ST games on radio?
Cleveland announcer just mentioned they’ll have tomorrow’s game, too. What’s up with the Reds?
by the finest muffins on Mar 17, 2010 11:52 PM EDT reply actions
I don't understand it, either
Someone here said broadcasting Reds games is a license to print money. If so, why don’t they broadcast them all?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I spent over an hour on the bus during today's earlier game.
Would’ve been nice to have plugged into my little portable radio listening to Chapman’s first start. Alas.

Sutton in for the OC
Guess Dusty’s saving Janish for the bullpen.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Janish in at 3B
And little Danny Ray in to face Kearns.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
if you mean those guys
who “accept the paypal” – they are everywhere. They are based in China, and must have dozens of people posting that spam. Just about every USA Today article ends up with a half-dozen copies in their comment section, and a lot of other newspapers, blogs, etc., are being hit, too.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Yeah.
It started a couple days ago. And I have to moderate at CJ now. And that’s not the kind of moderation I hoped to deal with
USA Today
deals with it by blocking their URLs. They have a profanity filter, and in addition to blocking naughty words, they also block the domain names the spammers are pushing. Of course, it’s a moving target. The spammer change domain names, or start putting blank spaces between letters.
Would anyone really buy anything from a site advertised that way? The English is so gawd-awful you can hardly understand what they’re saying.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
All we can do is ban all users from that IP.
So they just get a different IP and we’re repeating the process.
WTB automation.
what a pain
I recently had to change the settings on my blog because I was getting so much spam. The annoying thing is that there’s no way spamming my blog would get anyone any customers. Blogger automatically adds the “no follow” tag, so link spam doesn’t work (and they didn’t seem to understand how to post links, anyway). They were commenting on posts so old few real humans would ever look at them (and it’s not like I have a high-traffic blog anyway). Blogger lets you moderate comments on all posts older than two weeks, and that’s what I’m doing now.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
yes, that's an option, too
But I don’t want to do that. That would inconvenience my actual visitors. And the spammers never comment on recent posts. I think they are hoping I won’t notice if they comment only on old posts.
It’s pretty bizarre, some of the things they do to try and avoid being deleted. “please dont delete! I work very hard on my site!” (with a huge block of porn links) “thank u for this exellent site, how do i becom a mod hear?” (not by posting a question like that!)
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Cincy Jungle, I assume
I think SB Nation is going to have to beef up their anti-spam measures. There’s only so much the mods can do.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I was not around
But yeah we dealt with the same guy

For describing Herrera. Tonight’s special: “diminutive.”

Are you saying sportcasters aren't smart enough to have a large vocabulary?
Volquez, Bailey, Cueto, Chapman, and Leake. The future is so bright I have to wear sunglasses.

Depends.
Are we talking about journalists or ex-players?

But I could subconsciously be that judgmental. Mostly I’m just amused by the variety of adjectives they come up with.

So, how did Chapman do against Milwaukee?
