Cactus League Game 3 (split-squad): Reds @ Angels

Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim

Tuesday, March 1, 2011, 3:05 PM EST
Tempe Diablo Stadium

Johnny Cueto vs. Jered Weaver

Coverage:
TV: MLB Network; RADIO: None; WEB: MLB.tv, Gameday/Gameday Audio

Partly cloudy. Game time temperature around 70.


Today's split-squad game against the Angels will broadcast live on MLB Network and feature both 2010 MVP Joey Votto and 2010 Cy Young also-ran Jered Weaver, so that's the one that makes the marquee. Johnny Cueto, who will go on to finish off a sweep of the Brewers on April 3, has Philippe Valiquette, Logan Ondrusek, Scott Carroll and Jerry Gil lined up to pitch behind him.

But that's only half the story: real, live Reds players will also be squaring off at 3:05 EST against the Oakland A's at Phoenix Municipal Stadium. Mike Leake leads they way in the B-squad game against Gio Gonzalez, for which you'll get Gameday and like it. He'll be followed by Jordan Smith, Jared Burton, Carlos Fisher, Matt Klinker, Jeremy Horst and Donnie Joseph (not necessarily in that order). Jamie Ramsey, possibly others, will be tweeting from Phoenix also.

Starters and secondary players have been distributed pretty evenly among both squads. David Sappelt will be leading off against the Angels, which (if anything) might mean Dusty wants to see more of him. The diminutive outfielder is an early storyline in camp, getting off to a hot start after a torrid 2010. Despite his success, Sappelt doesn't have the power traditionally associated with left field - though he can hit in the gaps and leg out some triples. With only 115 PAs above AA, no room on the 40-man and competition from Chris Heisey and Jeremy Hermida for a bench-heavy 5th OF spot, Sappelt seems destined for Louisville. But he could find his way into the big leagues sometime this year.

A lot of bad stuff happened during yesterday's game, including shaky pitching performances from pretty much everyone and a 5:0 error to run-scored ratio. But this early in Spring training, the only thing that really concerns me is injuries - of which there were none. Second to that, perhaps, is bad pitching performances by MLB regulars. The pitchers are expected to be ahead of the hitters, while established pitchers are expected to be facing inferior competition. Struggles by Nick Masset, and Aroldis Chapman were a little bit off-putting. In the case of Chapman, his three walks in one inning - and only 7 strikes in 19 pitches - are worrisome  inasmuch as they are a continuation of his control problems from last season. Still, I'm willing to throw out most anything as Small Sample or Slow Start. 

Star-divide

Spring fun fact: Ryan Hanigan's history in the Reds' major league Spring camp stretches furthest back, as he logged one Spring Training AB back in 2003.

Trick question!

Cueto and Leake are both going today! And I just found this:

Leake will be followed by a combination of Jordan Smith, Jared Burton, Carlos Fisher, Matt Klinker, Jeremy Horst and Donnie Joseph.

Cueto will be followed by some combination of Philippe Valiquette, Logan Ondrusek, Scott Carroll and Jerry Gil.

by Charlie Scrabbles on Mar 1, 2011 2:31 PM EST up reply actions  

It's hard to say

That was the model in 2009 – trying Dickerson, then Nix, then Gomes, but Dusty really stuck to Gomes in 2010. I think he’s committed to him as the primary starter, at least for a half-season.

I don’t understand the resistance to accepting his platoon splits. They’re pretty irrevocable at this point – and he seems to be a player that thrives in a more limited role, shielded from righties. You don’t have to play him 30% if you want his pop in the lineup, but giving him a bunch of starts against lefties guaranteed worse offensive production and much worse defense every time. Lewis, Hermida and Heisey would also be better options for a lot of those matchups.

Dusty is convinced the May Gomes is the real Gomes, and he was in a "slump for the rest of the season"

I just don't get it.

This is a pretty cut and dry issue. Playing Gomes the majority of the time will hurt the team, and hurt the offensive output. And I don’t think it would hurt Gomes’ feelings if he sat against more righties. If this is true, it’s absolutely foolish.

That’s what I’m saying. I’m sure Gomes knows he crushes lefties and struggles with righties. I don’t think it’d bother him THAT much if he sat against more righties

Joey Votto on Colin Cowherd: "I don’t know who he is"

by UncleWeez on Mar 1, 2011 3:52 PM EST up reply actions  

As a matter of fact

It wouldn’t bother him at all.

But if you read all of Dusty’s quotes, it doesn’t seem that egregious (which is pretty typical for when Dusty talks. It seems to me we often take one thing out of context and ignore the larger point with him. Also, he often says one thing and does another)

It just seems like it won’t be a strict platoon. Like, if there’s a righty who throws almost all fastballs, I could see Gomes starting against him, or if there is a team with a lot of righties who pull the ball, Lewis might start, etc. That’s the kind of thing Dusty seems to pay a lot of attention to. I could see it being 60/40 in favor of Gomes, which isn’t ideal, but isn’t devastating.

Also, Dusty gave himself an out by saying, basically, that if Jonny is sucking he might not play much. I’ll wait to worry about this.

There were several problems with how the jurors handled the evidence and outside sources though.

In addition:

No motive submitted.
No evidence of a struggle.
Acceptable alternative theory provided by the defense.

All of these three should equate to enough doubt for a reasonable person to conclude that the prosecution did not meet its burden.

He had 5 errors in 416.1 innings at SS

His fielding percentage (.981) wasn’t far from OCab’s (.971), but right. I agree with obc2 here: comparing the two doesn’t make a lot of sense, since Janish made lots of plays that OCab couldn’t.
