Gregorious just made a SPECTACULAR play at short stop!

Kid can hit to. He may be a star in a couple of years.

Outs 2 and 3 were pretty spectacular too!

Team is looking good. Getting a lot of runs from not home-runs which is something we are going to need this year. Got a great pitching staff. The rest of the division is down. Things are looking good for us. Hopefully we play to our potential and don't have to trade Votto mid-season.

I'm concered about the pitching giving up runs early. I hate when a pitcher does that because it seems to lower a teams energy and they seem to press themselves to try to hard.

If Francis can keep throwing scoreless innings, he might make a serious run at the starting rotation.

Except for injuries, I'm not concerned about ANYTHING this early in March.

I know you didn't just say that. From what people say you are the pessimistic one.

Francis looked really good yesterday. Hopefully he reverted back to his early Colorado form. I just wish opening day would get here already.

Yesterdays game was on Fox Sports. It was the only one they will carry this spring. They will probably be on MLB network at least once.

From MLB Network schedule for Saturday:

11:00 p.m. Spring Training Baseball [#SpringTraining] Cincinnati Reds at Oakland Athletics (subject to blackout in local areas

Cueto is having a fairly rough spring isn't he? Should we be worried?

I've always understood spring training stats not to matter that much. It's about getting loose and ready for the season, and sometimes you'll see a pitcher working on something new.

Yeah its almost the opposite of the regular season. In the regular season if something is working, you stick with it until it stops working.

In spring training, if something is working well, you start working on other things instead to try to work on that.

For example, in ST as a starter if your fastball is working really well that day, you probably are gonna start throwing more off speed pitches to improve that. In the regular season you can keep pounding that fastball if its getting people out.

surprised no one is talking about Chris Carpenter being out indefinitely.

Hes on his way to Cincinnati to get checked out by Kremchek.
I guess its a good thing he was only signed to a 1 year deal.
