    Good to see Votto back in the starting lineup. Was hoping for more Senzel in center.

    Doug, when do the minor leaguers start shifting out of the major league camp?

    MLB.tv out of market subscriber here. Any idea why they wouldn’t broadcast the game anywhere? Seems like an easy way to drum up excitement given the prime time slot on a weeknight. I’m sure not a lot of people can catch many games given the predominately day game slate.

    Was at the game. DeSclafani got hammered, wasn’t fooling anyone. Few swing and misses. Everything hit hard. His line doesn’t reflect what happened. Kemp has zero range or effort in LF. He swings a mean bat though.

    Otherwise the team looks good.

    Votto hitting .091. Wow. I know it’s only spring training and I know he takes a while to warm up, but I hope his performance thus far isn’t a preview of what we’re going to get in the 2019 regular season.
