I'm definitely not one to overregulate, so I think First should largely be undefined on game threads. If you get up at 5:45 and check the website, you should have the option of putting your timestamp on a FIRST. Definitely commendable.

But......I, personally, elevate the FIRST person to crack a beer on a game thread. That is the true measuring stick in obc-land.

by obc on Mar 8, 2007 9:10 AM EST reply actions

So, at 8:10 AM

You've started drinking for the day. Or have been drinking already and just logged on to Red Reporter. Either way, commendable sir. It's kind of like Tommy Lasorda's diet. A beer for breakfast, a beer for lunch, and a sensible dinner (does whiskey count as beer?).

I wonder

if we would have beaten the Yanks with this lineup. I mean, we did a good job against the toughest lineup in baseball last night. I'm particularly pleased about the pitching (with the exception of EZ, though he didn't do too badly, either.)

oh well, still undefeated!

Anyone see

The Reds had to renew Phillips, they couldn't agree to a deal for the year. I don't know if that means he got the same deal as last year or what. John Fay said BP and his agent want a long term deal, and the Reds couldn't agree to one with him yet.

Personally, I think Wayne should wait until mid season before even thinking of offering Phillips a long term deal. He hasn't even hit arbitration yet, so why rush into a deal right now? Make sure last summer wasn't a fluke first.

I know its only spring training

But some things just piss you off universally, I suppose. The inability to get in the runner on third with less than two outs is just one of those things. Ugh.

EdE and Dunn

with back-to-back singles. Is that a rally I hear brewing? Jerry Gil up to bat, Crosby pinch runs for Dunn.

Gil with a 2-run triple! 6-3

Hamilton walks

First and third, no outs. AGon comes to the plate. Pitcher change for the Tigers.

Is it just me?

Or does Hamilton show a lot of patience while at the plate. Anyone got his OBP numbers so far? They have to be pretty high.

by snohio on Mar 8, 2007 3:05 PM EST up reply actions

Hamilton

That's his 4th walk in 25 plate appearances this spring.

Yes, but...

How many of them were of the "not so hard" variety? Those do not count.

Don't mind me...just thinking positive and pitching to contact, that's all...

by Paul Householder on Mar 8, 2007 4:05 PM EST up reply actions

Zumaya pitching

AGon with a base hit. Gil scores. First and Second, still no out. Soft J runs for AGon.

I think Ross is up now.

a lot of reds missed opportunities

by truckparade on Mar 8, 2007 3:19 PM EST reply actions

I don't know

I don't think I'd call scoring 3 runs a missed opportunity. It's pretty common for high scoring teams to leave men on base. When you get a lot of men on, you're going to leave a lot on.

BTW, it's 7-4 now. I don't know how the run scored. I was away from my computer.

Bad news for obc and sukr

GABP is designated a completely non-smoking facility. You cannot smoke from within the confines of GABP and you can't leave to smoke and then come back in. According to a Reds press release.

Link?

I knew about the no smoking, but not leaving? Please, how can they police that? They'd have to not let anyone back in.

I'll try one game.

If this is true and they actually enforce the exit/enter thing, I won't go back. I can understand not allowing you to smoke on premises, but not letting you leave and come back is not part of the law and it's stupid.
