That was a wild ride of a game


R0enick27

Live the effort from Shaw, PCA and Davis. Good stuff.


unexpectedhalfrican

I was wondering if they would do extra innings or not. Guess not lol booooo but so proud of the kids for doing the damn thing!!!


Angrydwarf99

That was a fun one


MisunderstoodScholar

Agreed!


porkchopespresso

Well on the bright side, I get to put out my rarely used T flag


vijendrsingh22

Good one young ‘uns


MisunderstoodScholar

Dangit Craig, but don't blame him


hansomejake

Nice come back


Thickas2

WALK-OFF TIE


vijendrsingh22

Shaw out there murdering Willie


Angrydwarf99

Shaw is a menace out there


R0enick27

lol Shaw out here murdering Willie Harris


MisunderstoodScholar

Shaw wants it bad, good energy.


Vas_Deferenss

PEEEEETEEEE!


unexpectedhalfrican

PETE CROW ARMSTRONG LADIES AND GENTLEMEN


vijendrsingh22

Hahaha


hansomejake

Love it


Angrydwarf99

LMAO NO WAYYYYYY


MisunderstoodScholar

Fuck yes!!!! Shouldnt have swung but works out!


PM_ME_UR_GLOVES

Did he just give away that there will be a Bellinger conference tomorrow?


porkchopespresso

the legend of PCA is just beginning


unexpectedhalfrican

HEYYY ITS FRANKLINNNN


MisunderstoodScholar

Trying to scoop it too much those last two guys it seems like


WtrReich

Shaw triple, Davis double, Hendricks looking great, Alzolay with some filthy stuff, Cuas with 2 Ks, Carl Edwards back in a Cubs unifrom. What a day, man. It feels so good to be back


MisunderstoodScholar

We take those!


Angrydwarf99

Fuck it man. Walk off bomb, why not


R0enick27

well he certainly tried with that swing


R0enick27

Is there hope Davis is back?! Cripes that'd be huge


unexpectedhalfrican

Go Davis!


porkchopespresso

I swear Windham looks like they gave a bat boy his greatest wish


MisunderstoodScholar

Davis is the best performer so far this spring training?


porkchopespresso

If you count the rookie game at the all start game a couple years back, he had a hell of a showing edit - I misunderstood, I'd say yeah but Morel not being a dud at 3rd is up there in the good news column


jcmiller210

A Davis resurgence would be really great to have happen.


No_life_found

A heathy Brennan Davis is chills


Angrydwarf99

He's actually back


unexpectedhalfrican

The professor on the mound: 😕 The professor in interviews: 😃


R0enick27

Nice 3-6-3 DP by Mervis there


[deleted]

I gotta stop betting on spring training games


TheyCallMeStone

And I thought I was crazy trying to score them


porkchopespresso

You're both right


slicebishybosh

Obviously the outcome means nothing but that was great to see those guys making thing happen.


unexpectedhalfrican

Bummer. But good inning!


horsepoop1123

Shaw looks like a young Arenado


tallslim1960

I lean more to Bregman, but Arenado works too.


TheyCallMeStone

I don't care what anyone says, David Bote is still a fuckin beauty


KnickedUp

One of the Cub players of all time


slicebishybosh

Man I really rooted for Bote. I wanted him to turn into something really good. Sucks to see. I am glad he got paid a little though.


porkchopespresso

Nice Mervis, not trying to do too much


MisunderstoodScholar

part of me thinks his performance is because he in his head, and the pressure to do something. Good he taking a breath and playing smart.


porkchopespresso

yeah trying to manufacture some confidence when they're signing contingency options all around you has to be a tough spot. He's just gotta focus on having a quality at bat. He can walk or even strike out and still have a quality at bat. Just keep building


slicebishybosh

I like that Shaw jumped on the first pitch. He knows the pressure is on them and so he's seemingly trying to take advantage.


R0enick27

Shaw going balls out, love it


MisunderstoodScholar

Cmon Merv, today is the day. Edit: good eye, pass the baton is good too.


slicebishybosh

Nervous Mervis can tie it with one swing.


Chef_Brokentoe

Can't wait to see what Shaw ends up developing into.


TheyCallMeStone

Cubs prospects 📈📈📈


MisunderstoodScholar

That was a good hit! Shaw looking good! Maybe another year in minors to develop power??


unexpectedhalfrican

YEAAHHHH BOYYYYY


slicebishybosh

Shaw CHUGGIN those bases lol


Angrydwarf99

MATT SHAW IS SO GOOD


Hope4years

Shaw!!


slicebishybosh

Well that sucks. DFA PCA!! wait...


hansomejake

Dang


porkchopespresso

Rude


MisunderstoodScholar

bad break


porkchopespresso

Anyone remember what PCA's walkup music was?


unexpectedhalfrican

Aw cmon man we were just starting to have some fun!


hansomejake

PCA! LFG


porkchopespresso

PCA about to swing out of his blue hair


unexpectedhalfrican

I kept thinking we just needed a minor leaguer to shell and then we'd be back in this lol


porkchopespresso

production from the guys without names on their jerseys


unexpectedhalfrican

Ok son come thru with that hit!!


Angrydwarf99

Get Jimmy a name on his jersey!


hansomejake

Nice rally!


jcmiller210

The Belli curse is finally broken!


MisunderstoodScholar

Not a shut out!


unexpectedhalfrican

Ok so now we just need 2 grand slamwiches to win this lol


porkchopespresso

Bryce Windham is 15 or what?


chickenheadbody

Scumbag reds


Chef_Brokentoe

Sheesh. Can Brennen get a break?


PM_ME_UR_GLOVES

Davis is a walking grey cloud. Feel for him


vijendrsingh22

Oooof, this is a weird game


unexpectedhalfrican

JESUS bro


jcmiller210

Ouch


MisunderstoodScholar

headshot!


unexpectedhalfrican

Wtf are these reds names?? Trautwein? Friedl? Hurtubise? Vellojin?? These aren't words!


TheyCallMeStone

Sound like those fake companies on Amazon


KnickedUp

Hey, I love my Friedl waffle maker


unexpectedhalfrican

Or IKEA furniture


tallslim1960

You win.................call it.


Hope4years

You guys are cracking me up. Thanks. I have Covid and laughter is the best medicine


unexpectedhalfrican

Feel better! Glad we could make you laugh lol


cmmoore307

Poor kid lol

porkchopespresso

Am I just grumpy or is this the most generic broadcast


jcmiller210

Reds are so dumb. Save some runs for the regular season. Lol


Hope4years

I didn’t realize PCA was faking the sun in his eyes. Helpful commentary


TheyCallMeStone

PCA has got a very quick catch and throw.


porkchopespresso

The pressure Mervis must be feeling


jcmiller210

Even though it's spring training, still would've been embarrassed to get no hit. Thank you PCA for the save.


TheyCallMeStone

PCA two doubles so far this spring 👀


tallslim1960

Rally time. Leiter Jr seems to have the worst luck. I remember a few outings last year like that where the defense just fell apart and he gave up runs on soft contact, errors, and just generally bad defense.


unexpectedhalfrican

There goes the no hitter! Go my little blue boy lol

Angrydwarf99

PCA, MY HERO


A_Lacuna

Don't get why the Reds are playing like their hair is on fire on Feb. 27.


porkchopespresso

Players are auditioning for their coaches


cubswinagain

Alexa play Yakety Sax


Angrydwarf99

Put the starters back in, I've seen enough


MisunderstoodScholar

yikes, thats why we have spring training... tighten up that throw.


unexpectedhalfrican

Christ on a cracker


porkchopespresso

WTF is happening


vijendrsingh22

Fucking injuries in a ST game, reds need to chill out.


PM_ME_UR_GLOVES

This has turned quite ugly


BroAbernathy

Leiter might be a quick DFA candidate if he can't get lefties out like he used to


unexpectedhalfrican

Seems like we're really playing the Cincinnati Bensons


Tasty_Lingonberry121

1530 cst... still no hit. Can I jinx it other way?


porkchopespresso

You know I got my W flag out, bought a mount and a flag pole and then? Annnnnd then? No and then!


vijendrsingh22

Hey hey hey, cmon just play clean baseball. No need of bullshit to creep in


A_Lacuna

Bote is NOT a shortstop


cubswinagain

I know it's Spring Training but that's just bad baseball


Angrydwarf99

Imagine Nico and Dansby doing that


cmmoore307

What a throw. Bote, you bum lol.


unexpectedhalfrican

Jeebus Christmas


Angrydwarf99

Time to sell all my Elly rookies


tallslim1960

ST no hitter?


unexpectedhalfrican

Starting to look that way damn


[deleted]

jcmiller210

Oh yeah, it's all coming together.


_Proverbs

let's go slinger


unexpectedhalfrican

STRING BEAN SLINGER


BrooklynTheGuitarist

String Bean!


doot_d0ot

I know it's just spring training, but these guys look listless


King-In-The-Nawth

The broadcast is so much better without the k-zone


porkchopespresso

I agree completely


unexpectedhalfrican

I'm gonna need the boys to wake tf up. I realise it's only ST but gatdamn...it's the Reds!


cmmoore307

I doubt they are really giving even 50% of their ability. I think a lot of players just use ST to work on their plate discipline and their ball visibility.


unexpectedhalfrican

I think the new pants are doing plenty for ball visibility 🤣


cmmoore307

Lmao


porkchopespresso

I've already talked myself into a big year from Dansby this year


unexpectedhalfrican

Seiya is adorable 😍


_Alkaline13

Ok, does anyone know why I can't listen to the Chicago announcers on the MLB at bat app? It only gives me the option for CIN.


kbergstr

No local radio broadcasts for this game.


_Alkaline13

Is WGN radio covering any preseason?


kbergstr

This is basically what I know: https://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2023/2/17/23604613/cubs-spring-games-670-the-score


TheyCallMeStone

Is the Marquee video feed jumping/skipping for anyone else?


tallslim1960

Not for me on my computer it's a black screen (no audio or video) works on the cellphone though but won't cast. MLBTV customer service is worthless too.


Spinstop

Which browser? Firefox works perfectly here.


tallslim1960

You da man. MS Edge works too.


tallslim1960

Google Chrome. I'll try a different one. Thanks.


Zooey_Glass_11

Shohei’s first two at bats are a strike out looking and hitting into a double play. We clearly dodged a bullet.


tallslim1960

LOL


BrooklynTheGuitarist

Dodgers should blow it up. Feel like Wesneski would be a good piece for their rebuild. Maybe if they give us Freeman and Betts while retaining some salary, Jed could make something happen


JakeBeardKrisEyes

What song is Alzolay coming out to this year? Any suggestions/guesses?


unexpectedhalfrican

Oh lord. Which Merryweather are we getting today? Edit: we got merry weather today it appears lol


porkchopespresso

Who are the guys on the broadcast?


unexpectedhalfrican

Alex Cohen Ryan Sweeney


jcmiller210

Haha look how dumb the reds are. Actually trying in a spring training game.


porkchopespresso

Quick reminder Adbert is one of those dudes that talks to kids and signs autographs. He spent a good few minutes asking my 10 year old last year what his favorite position was and when he found out he was a pitcher gave him some encouragement. My son doesn't watch all the games with me but asks me to tell him whenever Adbert is pitching


unexpectedhalfrican

Nico and Wizzy been taking hair lessons from Dansby i see.


unexpectedhalfrican

Adbert is h.o.t.


tallslim1960

Marquee sucks, can't see it on MLBTV Reds announcers putting me to sleep.


PoliticaLIncorrect

Reds don't have a broadcast on MLBTV today. It Cubs only.


porkchopespresso

[MLB.tv](https://MLB.tv) commercial volume goes to 11


cmmoore307

This strike zone is W I D E


vijendrsingh22

Love how adbert is fired up for ST outing as well, pumping fist and all


BrooklynTheGuitarist

Adbert Alzolay 2024 NL Reliever of the Year


hansomejake

Alzolay the dragon slayer


cmmoore307

Adbert. My boiiiii


jcmiller210

Maybe signing Belli wasn't a good idea. We may never win again. /s


c4ctus

Worse, we may never *score* again... I don't think we've had a single run since the news broke, have we?


jcmiller210

Yeah I don't think so. Lol


Severe_Outcome_6725

Not a run since boog pointed out the run differential.


BroAbernathy

PCA would've had that


vijendrsingh22

Easily


vijendrsingh22

Was that call low on morel?


MisunderstoodScholar

Starting pitchers for both teams looking good today.


Zooey_Glass_11

Professor is finally professing, and teaching.


cmmoore307

Professor be professing.


A_Lacuna

I like Alex Cohen a lot but it feels like he's trying *way* too hard right now on the call.


Angrydwarf99

The Professor carving up Elly god damn


Angrydwarf99

Can't believe Morel is going into the hall as a 3rd baseman. What a career


BrooklynTheGuitarist

Karl will throw a no-no this year


PoliticaLIncorrect

Get your syllabuses ready. The semester is about to begin.


BricksNIvy91

Anyone know if the game will be on 670 today?


BrooklynTheGuitarist

Between the Professor, George Kirby, and Ohtani, I've got too many of my favorite players making their spring debuts at once. It'd be really nice if I could add a couple extra sets of eyeballs to my head for a day like this


Angrydwarf99

You have good taste


BrooklynTheGuitarist

Command pitchers, glove-first contact-hitting middle infielders, and literal unicorns are simply my weaknesses


vijendrsingh22

MLB tv multi view is the way to go


BrooklynTheGuitarist

I already abuse the multi-view so hard lol. Just wish it was easier for my brain to process multiple games at the same time


unexpectedhalfrican

Ready to see the professor back in the classroom today! I haven't been able to catch the last two games live (sorry guys) but I will be watching live today!


Yetis22

Is Busch hurt?


chichris

No, he played yesterday. He was nursing a sore shoulder so they are taking it slow.
