Cactus League Game 4(?) Thread: Royals at Reds

Bronson Arroyo takes the mound for the first time this spring. Reds starters haven't performed all that well so far, though Homer Bailey had a nice 2 inning outing in this morning's B-game. I wouldn't be too concerned with that as starting pitchers, especially those with roster spots locked up, aren't pitching like they normally would. For the most part they are working on just one or two things - location, a specific pitch, mechanical issues, rhythm, etc - so results this early in spring mean even less than you would expect. It'd be nice to see him perform well, but even if he does I don't think it means much yet.
This will be the only time the Reds face the Royals this spring, though the Royals do come to Cincinnati in June, so this is just a precursor to that epic battle. Then again, before we start making Royals jokes, we should remember that they have a had a winning season more recently than the Reds.
Pitchers you can expect to see in this game for the Reds are: Aroldis Chapman, Nick Masset, Daniel Ray Herrera, Jared Burton, Micah Owings, Pedro Viola. For the Royals, after Bannister expect to see Kyle Farnsworth, Francisco Rosario, Ramon Colon, and Anthony Larew. I'm sure everyone will be all abuzz about Chapman after the game.
Lineups are after the jump (hat tip to CNati). If you have Gameday Audio or are in the KC area, the game is being broadcast on KCSP. If not, you can follow along on Gameday.

Looks basically like what you'd expect in April with Gomes in LF instead of DH'ing
s/b interesting to see Dickerson v. Stubbs
Is this the day a Reds team scores more than 2 runs?

I believe he said that on the radio on Saturday.
talking about the depth in the farm system after seeing leake and wood and all that
last year's was probably better
in the sense that I think expectations were higher for the pitching staff in ’09. I think the ’10 model will be okay, but not great.

You can usually avoid that
by going with the lower quality version. The nicer stuff (“DVR-like” and higher quality) is only available on a time delay, annoyingly.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I am just looking for a cut above the "highlights" clips

I don’t actually “do” television much.
I just knew that I would now be having train sex with a very odd broad in no time. I didn’t expect the bitch to shoot me though. (Pops Daniels)
Yeah, this is why I'm trying to decide
whether the “premium” version is worth it. I’m trying to remember how much I actually used the premium features.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
so my worry is
about the billing issues that one person described.
If those are in the past, I have no concern. I often buy things I don’t get full value from, so the 119 bucks isn’t the end of my world, but I don’t want hassles from a computer generated business office.

but I have seen Votto be pretty agressive when it comes to stretching singles into doubles/doubles into triples, maybe he is planning on breaking into the base stealing business
Yeah, it's way easier to steal in the minors, esp. the low minors

An alternative plural dwarves has been recorded from the early 18th century and was in occasional use throughout the 19th century, especially in the context of Norse mythology. The form came to wider attention with its use by English philologist J. R. R. Tolkien in his fantasy novel The Hobbit

I guess I still don't get it
Dusty must have 170 Xerox copies of his batting order in a box.
Fer crying out loud, why is the DH batting ninth? Does that require some additional thinking to move him around? “Whoa, what if it was a real game? We’d just put the pitcher there. See how easy that is?”
Yeah. Boy, talk about efficiency of thought.

Nice to see
Dorn with a nice AB. If not for the fact that all 29 other teams passed on him in the Rule 5 draft, I’d feel like we might have a good piece of trade bait right there.
I see
Buck Coats is still kicking around.

Hi Colin, where you been?

You missed a win, crolfer!
Lots of home runs. Good innings by Arroyo and Chapman, and a win on American soil for the Cuban Missile.

Grrr...
I probably won’t be seeing many Monday games… Between school, work, and men’s choir, I’m pretty much busy from 9 am to 8 pm. Monday’s are bad, mkay?
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
Honestly,
Without the radio it was boring as shit. It’s not like you get to see all those home runs, and steals, and walk? Hell, even gameday gave very little information. And took forever to do it!
I signed up for Gameday Audio today.
Update to anyone interested: the yearly subscription cost is up to $19.95* now. Still a good deal, I think.
(*1995=last Reds playoff appearance. I’ll choose to take this coincidence as a good sign.)

Is the ‘Milwaukee financial adviser’ yours or Cheshire’s? I like that.

Serial killers always have 3 names
Juan Martin Cantu
John Wayne Gacy

You know what, I kind of agree with you.
I like throwing it around here right now, but I know once it’s used in a handful of headlines, I’ll hate it (especially if it’s misspelled). The “too obvious” argument is also the reason I don’t like “Vottomatic.”

That's why I like Votto Erotic Asphyxiation
no one expects that to kill you.

He's usually just really exciting.
But every once in a while… he knocks you out hard.

Honestly, the fact that it sounds like a sportswriter came up with it is part of the appeal to me
With print media in its death throes, there’s an added nostalgia factor. Retro is hip. So sayeth Old Hoss Bailey.
Good to hear the offense is stepping up a bit
We’re gonna need Votto and BP though.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
Bp thinks tha there are only 'so many' hits in his bats..so he doesn't like wasting them in ST.
Joey’s just bored.
Gleet:The chronic morbid discharge as from the nostrils of horses.
Perhaps BP should use someone else's bats in ST.
Either that, or quit saying ridonkulous, superstitious BS to the beat writers.

I don't think it was "official"
It was played on a practice field and the players all got orange slices and cherry flavored Shasta after the game.
