Here’s what they’ve been saying in the other broadcast booths…

In the booth: Jose Mota, Terry Smith

In this photo, he is actually breaking two rules of The Flag Code:

Being from Venezuela originally, perhaps he has been mistaught.

Paul Molitor requested he be brought into camp. No word on if Juan is dating Molitor's daughter, as was the unsubstantiated rumor (that RR helped spread) that He Who Shall Not Be Named was dating Dusty Baker's daughter.

P/CF Michael Lorenzen has tremendous batting power. No word on his power in the bedroom, but rumors are that he could be a productive two-way player. It looks like he's off to a solid start. Here's his wedding highlight film.



It's a great pleasure to see tHom Brennaman. Here is a video of tHom getting a pie in the face from another man. Relax, it's safe for work.

P Cody Reed has a very good arm. And a pretty cool look:

Goggles FTW

Buddy Bell is back in the Reds organization, currently serving as vice president and senior advisor to the general manager for the Cincinnati Reds. Old news, but news to me. He is one of the best defensive third basemen of all-time.

In the booth: Mick Gillespie and Len Kaspar

Mick feels the Reds really have a chance to contend in a good and very even division.

This was a split squad game, so standing in for Delino DeShields, Sr. was "Eric the Red" Davis. I ran into Eric Davis on Halloween when I was dressed as Franken-Hitler. I was sooooo high, I didn’t think to get a picture. But he complimented my costume. True story.

Goodyear boasts what is not the fanciest ballpark in the Cactus League.

The Reds lineup could cause some damage. They already had a dynamite infield. That's something to smile about!
