I guess Crosby is playing for Freel now.

Crosby ball, ball, called strike, ball, ball

Nice leadoff walk!

[redsrbetter]

I figured Griffey and Dunn would not be in the lineup. They were in Colombus Ohio late last night watching the UFC fights. I ordered the PPV and they were there.

Good to see Hamilton batting cleanup.

[redsrbetter]

Hatteberg hits a 2-run HR over right center field wall. That is his 2nd HR this spring already. Has he got newfound power?

2-0 Reds

[redsrbetter]

Phillips gets way under one and he flies out to LF. 1 out
