Cactus League Game 14 Thread: Reds at Indians

Two former first round picks for the Reds face off today at Goodyear Ballpark. Homer Bailey (7th pick of the 2004 draft) goes up against Jeremy Sowers (20th pick of the 2001 draft) as the Reds and Indians face off for the second time in two days. Bailey has thrown 5 innings this spring, allowing 3 hits and a run while striking out 5 batters. He has yet to walk a hitter, which is very good news. Sowers will be making his first appearance of the spring.
The Reds will also send Sam Lecure, Francisco Cordero, Pedro Viola, Logan Ondrusek, and Philippe-Alexandre Valiquette to the mound. I can't find who else the Indians plan on using.
Lineups are after the jump. Today's game is televised on Fox Sports Ohio and Sportstime Ohio and MLB.tv. Thankfully they finally decided to televise a game on a day when there was nothing else to watch on TV. You can also catch the Indians radio team on Gameday Audio or you can follow along without sound on Gameday.

Volquez, Bailey, Cueto, Chapman, and Leake. The future is so bright I have to wear sunglasses.
A welcomed break....
It will be nice to take a break from watching me lose each and every bet I made on the NCAA tournment. Thank God for the Reds…
What is the NCAA tournament?

the scuttlebutt
is that Bowden didnt want to waste money on a draft pick so he took Sowers, who told everyone he was going to Vandy no matter what. Bowden made the pick and apparently never even called Sowers to say hi, much less make an offer.

I was really happy they signed him again
not only is he an excellent player, it just feels right to have him on the team
Yeah!
That’s the one I mentioned above. It was pretty impressive, as it was coming in I was almost certain Gomes wasn’t going to get there, but he nailed it.
And to think, I was beginning to doubt his commitment to sparkle motion.

But then gave up a rocket-shot liner out to right field for a double.

Cardinals returning Rule 5 lefty Jukich to Reds
JUPITER, Fla. — The St. Louis Cardinals have decided to return Rule 5 pickup Ben Jukich, a lefthanded reliever, to the Cincinnati Reds, general manager John Mozeliak confirmed this evening.
The Cardinals have been on the lookout for lefthanded depth in the minor leagues and Jukich seemed a fit — he just had to, by Rule 5, make the major-league roster for the Cardinals to regain control of him. The bullpen at the big-league level is full of lefties and there is a logjam of righties vying for the final spots. Jukich made one appearance during spring training, pitching two innings and allowing a run on two hits to the New York Mets on March 5.
Innings have been scarce … well, nonexistent … for him since.
The Cardinals did engage the Reds about a potential deal for Jukich, but the teams couldn’t "find a fit," Mozeliak said.
Rule 5 players must be offered to the other 28 teams before being returned to the original team. The Cardinals selected Jukich at the Rule 5 draft in December. For the Cardinals to wrestle complete control of Jukich he would have had to remain on the 25-man roster or major-league disabled list all of the regular season.

MLB partners with Victoria’s Secret to take swing at female fans
Women make up nearly half of Major League Baseball’s fans.
MLB is partnering with Victoria’s Secret’s PINK brand to take aim at young women during the 2010 season with a new fashion line featuring the logos of 11 clubs, including the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs, Minnesota Twins and Los Angeles Angels.
Victoria’s Secret is based in Ohio, but no Reds or Indians gear.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I dunno - I kind of wish that they would just make reasonably nice baseball apparel for women.

I would have to bring a parasol to wear that. I was wondering that atcually, why don’t the Reds sell parasols with team logos? Or do they? That would be great
For the same reason they don't allow umbrellas at stadiums.
Because you would block the view of whoever’s behind you.
But if you showed up in full antebellum dress – they might let it slide. But then you’d need to worry about fainting rather than sunburn.
IAN! I'm on traain!
I guess you're right
I was thining maybe they could make it dainty engouh that it wouldn’t be an obstruction, but that seems kind of ridiculous in retrospect.
About the antebellum dress, I think I might do it. I would have to buy diamond seats (maybe several to accomodate the hoop skirt), though, because I have to be on camera if I go through all that trouble!
If you come to a baseball game in a corset and a hoop skirt.
I doubt you’ll have any trouble getting on camera.

A few years ago they did a "Halloween in July" promotion.
You got half-price bleacher seats if you came in costume. That would be a most excellent chance to debut your debutante Reds fan look, Poodle.

that's interesting
Do all the professional sports have a similar demographic breakdown (50/50), or does basbeall boast more female fans?
I dunno - but it must be different for college sports.
Like right now, I’m wearing a very nice UK basketball, slightly v-necked, fitted t-shirt.
IAN! I'm on traain!
I think it's close
MLB has the largest percent of female fans, but football, hockey, and basketball aren’t far behind.
Baseball teams on the coasts often report more female fans than male (Boston, NY, Seattle).

Booooo, anti-rec.
I hate pink. I hate sports team apparel that comes in pink, especially when said sports team is named after a better, darker color. For good measure, to acknowledge the picture in that link, I generally hate clothing with hearts on it. But mostly I hate marketing efforts aimed at women baseball fans that are nothing more than condescending stunts. (Whew, rant over, but only for now.)
Oh, also, “taking a swing at female fans” sounds abusive.

I recently read an article in a media journal
that said serious female fans tend to hate pink sports apparel. They think you should wear the team’s colors if you’re a real fan.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
That's not really surprising.
But the pink hats and jerseys aren’t exactly marketed towards the serious sports fan.
Or the serious person, really.
I really unreasonably hate that color. To the point that I have complicated, unsettling feelings about anti-breast cancer efforts.

Applies to the other gender as well, I think.
They make a lot of baseball caps in a lot of weird, different colors – but most serious fans only want the team colors.

News on the rest of the cuts just came down.
Reds optioned INF Chris Valaika, RHPs Enerio Del Rosario and Sam LeCure and LHP Pedro Viola to Triple-A Louisville; assigned Devin Mesoraco to Triple-A Louisville.
I'm sure this is a procedural thing,
but why was .250 assigned to AAA, not AA?

Actually, it sounds like the assignment location is fluid
He could end up in Lynchberg (?) just as easily, per Fay.
