Panama and Italy will face off at 11pm ET on FS1. The Italian team has two Reds pitchers – Nicolo Pinazzi and Vin Timpanelli.
Wil Myers breakout?
Sure, it’s a fantasy related piece at Fangraphs, but Paul Sporer likes Wil Myers to break out this year. His reasoning is that the right-handed hitter is going from a tough place for righties to hit to a park that’s the second best place for righties to hit. His only concern is the health factor for Myers, but when he’s on the field good things could be coming.
With this lineup it could be an interesting game.
One I really would have liked to watch. Seems like everytime EDLC starts at Short they aren’t on.
I have a feeling we’ll have to go to a Louisville game to watch him at least for a little while.
I live in upstate NY so won’t be going to Louisville.
They probably won’t be playing anywhere close to you on the road too will they?
Listening to the game Barrero singles to RF and drives in a run. Good sign.
He hurt his hamate bone in his hand (broken) and then even after healing, it was bothering him, and it caused him to begin some bad hitting habits…which commenters here saw and were critical of his skills.
Late last year and during the off-season, I think he has been instructed to work on certain things, and (basically) fix his bad hitting habits he had fallen into.
Maybe this year we will see the guy that was a hot shot prospect a couple of years ago.
Aquino had the same problem. We’ll see how he does in Japan.
EDLC triples and drives in two. Cool.
Triples may be more cool to watch than HRs.
With EDLC speed we might be seeing a lot of them.
A 2b turns into a 3b.
Yep
CES – three run dinger! 🙂
This is fun. 🙂
Stop It! Why isn’t this game on TV!!!!!
Yeah, but he hasn’t played much in AA or AAA.
I think the Reds need to stick with Pinder. 😉
haha He’s making it so they’re going to look pretty stupid if they do something like that.
Bell must really be squirming right now.
His status quo is being rocked a little bit.
I’ll go with the “Highly Productive Rookie Presence”.
It depends on Krall. You know Bell’s preference. But, it’s only ST and he needs more experience before being promoted. Bell is far more comfortable with veteran journeymen who were no better than Bell. Talent makes him insecure.
You don’t know Bell’s p[reference; you know what you believe it to be.
McLain K’s swinging. Can’t have everything. 🙂
CES another hit. 🙂
Steer doubles. Also looking good.
I’ll watch this year just because of him. Hope he has a good year .
Double for CES! 🙂
Just needs a triple for you know what. 🙂
Homered to CF. Singled over 3B on a breaking ball. Doubled to RF. I like using all fields. Thumbs up.
McLain robbed of a double due to no replay in spring training

Wasn’t meant as a reply above. Wish we could edit our posts after we screw up here
I wish we could reply directly to ALL individual posts, because I see post after post about Bell favoring vets over rookies that are evidence free and have no basis in reality.
Some people like to be miserable
First they complain about the trades that bring the talented prospects over and then they complain (before it even happens) about how the same prospects aren’t being brought up fast enough after the hot starts to spring
No basis? Seriously? Have you watched the last three years?
The issue isn’t whether Bell is playing rookies or not.
It’s the expectation that he will ignore their performance and prefer the .158 hitting “veteran presence”.
Think it through….I wasn’t keen on the trades and said so.
But they happened.
Now those “prospects” are with the club.
What to do….just keep complaining about the trade?
This is NOW, this is who the Reds have on their team and once again Bell is suspect for his preference for journeyman .250 hitters over taking a risk with a younger prospect.
You trade for these Young Turks. Why not play them?
Walk away from your primary offense and then settle in with Pinder, Vosler and Kojak.
That makes a lot of sense, right?
I guess Bell is your man.
Have you?
New year, same Reds bullpen trend – walks! Seven walks thru 7 innings plus a HBP! Good grief!
It’s starting to get ridiculous for CES. You bring the guy East like they did with India. If he starts out slow and he is overwhelmed then you send him down. India was on his way down and then Senzel got hurt. If he keeps this up then he deserves the shot .
At the end of the day I believe two contenders for the pitching staff have eliminated themselves from the process. Overton eliminated from the rotation mix early and Norris eliminated himself from pen race tonight.
