Cactus League Game 4: White Sox @ Reds

Next Game

Chicago White Sox
@ Cincinnati Reds

Wednesday, March 2, 2011, 3:05 PM EST
Goodyear Ballpark

Edwin Jackson vs. Homer Bailey

Coverage:
TV: NONE; RADIO: None; WEB: Gameday

Partly cloudy. Game time temperature around 70.


   Your Cincinnati Reds take on the Chicago White Sox this afternoon in what looks to be a Titantic Struggle. Homer Bailey will take the mound against Edwin Jackson with Daniel Ray Herrera, Jared Burton, Carlos Fisher, Jose Arredondo and Daryl Thompson scheduled to follow Bailey for the Reds. Burton and Fisher will go two innings each. No one seems to know who's pitching after Edwin Jackson, so there's that.

   Dusty this morning on Homer Bailey, per the Fya - "He’s got a chance to be an ace I think." And here I thought he was our future set up man ahead of Chappie. Also, Homer is still only 24 years old even if it seems like Danny Jackson took him under his wing.

   Unfortunately for his RR fanboys, Adam Dunn won't be starting for the Sox today. To get your fix, check out this Chicago Tribune story on Dunner where he mentions still mentoring Jay Hova from time to time. Take that Jim Edmonds!

   Even more unfortunate, the Reds seem to be running out a half-assed lineup behind Homer. In classic Dusty fashion, Fred Lewis will start in LF the day after Baker announced there was no plan for a platoon and hot-hitting Dave Sappelt finds himself on the bench. Good luck boys, looks like you're gonna need it.

I would say that at the time, I thought trading Dunn was wrong

The team needed his draw power at that time, but clearly they have improved in other ways so, in retrospect, the deal doesn’t seem as bad as it did. I don’t think the Chicago media will be very kind to the Donkey, though. He won’t function well there.

Ah, to be young and dumb again

I had a friend (no really, it wasn’t me) call me one night and relay this story:

He was one of those idiots who always has to eat the super duper hottest wings ever and in the middle of it went to piss. The sauce from the wings did not make Mr. Happy very happy, but he said he did get a good laugh out of the guy walking in as he was furiously splashing water from the sink onto his junk in an attempt to put out the fire. :)

From the “never let your girlfriend put xxxx on your dick” files, I also know someone who tried using Mt. Dew as lubricant in a pinch. That didn’t work so well for him.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Matt Maloney pitched two scoreless innings in place of Cincinnati’s opening-day starter Edinson Volquez and the Reds rallied for two runs in the ninth Sunday to beat the Cleveland Indians 7-6 in the spring exhibition opener for Ohio’s teams.

Volzquez couldn’t pitch because he has not yet gotten his work visa approved by the U.S. government. The Dominican Republic native stayed back at the team’s training facility and pitched two innings to minor leaguers. He has a travel visa but can’t perform in games in front of paying customers.

The visas have certain restrictions. Yes, some of the restrictions amount to splitting hairs, but that’s not the bureaucrats’ fault. It just stems from the inherent ridiculousness of immigration law.

I wish we could see what he was throwing to see if he’s struggling with command or doing what you suggest. He did strike out the next two, so it’s definitely possible.

He will never be good as long as he walks 5+ per 9.
