The Final | Reds 12 – Cubs 3
The game against the Padres lasted for all of three pitches before the rain came and put an end to it. Cincinnati’s road team took out that frustration that didn’t exist at all on the hapless Cubs pitchers, dropping 12 runs on them.
Tyler Mahle looked good once again, throwing 3.0 shutout innings with 5 strikeouts. Matt Wisler and Anthony Bass each threw a hitless, shutout inning of relief. Cody Reed threw 2.0 shutout innings of relief. Vladimir Gutierrez was charged with 2 unearned runs in an inning of work. Offensively the Reds got a double from Cassidy Brown, a triple from Christian Colon, and home runs from Kyle Farmer, Connor Joe, and Courtney Hawkins. Joe finished 2-3 with a 3-run homer and 2 walks. You can see the entire box score for the game here.
And three pitches into the game, a rain delay. Nice.
I left to do something for 2 minutes — came back and saw “delay” on gameday and was afraid Castillo got hurt. Better rain than injury.
me too
The game against the Padres has been rained out. That didn’t take long.
Sounds like the Reds went with a 4-man outfield against at least one Cubs batter. Interesting.
Bryant
Which game was Bell managing does anyone know? I guess if he was at the Goodyear Padre’s game he could drive over and take over managing the Cubs game.
He was managing the Cubs game from the get go. I listened to the pre-game show and Marty was giving him a hard time about having to make the road trip.
(he explained he left it to the pitching coach which SP he wanted to see. Johnson wanted to see Castillo, so Bell went to Mesa.)
Driving from Goodyear to Talking Stick is probably the farthest you could drive between stadiums. Probably 1.25 hours.
Not saying you need to be an expert on Native American culture or history, but google is your friend dude.
Yes but the Cubs game started an hour later, just saying. Anyway Mahle looks good on gameday, 5 strikeouts threw 3 and the Reds are up 6 – 0
Mahle is a big time fantasy sleeper imo. 168 ip, 180 ks, 3.42 era….you heard it here first.
Don’t know how they expect relief pitchers to go multiple innings next month when they are pitching one and out all Spring.
same way starters are expected to go 5-7 IP when they’re getting 1-3 IP now?
Reed 2 innings 6 pitches 6 outs. What have they done with our Cody Reed?
Beware pitch counts in spring training box scores, because they are usually way off.
Still, six up and six down is good.
“Something” managed to score a dozen runs, so you never know.
I am not one to dismiss ST stats or records, but you do have to take some ST games with a grain of salt.
