Reds versus Dodgers, Tuesday Feb 28th

Nick Lodolo will get the start.

Full travel roster

With the exception of Norris, that's a pretty decent set of pitchers. A lot of guys to take a look at in the lineup. Steer, Barrero, Friedl, Fairchild, Benson.

Fraley with hard hit ball of a lefty.  Goes for single off second baseman's glove.  And then TySteve pops out on 1 pitch. Fraley steals second. Pinder hits flyball to just short of warning track. Friedl grounds to 1st.

Lodolo K's the first guy on a curve.  Then walks Freeman. Gets called third strike on Martinez, who thought it was ball 4. Muncy lines to RF. 0-0

Steer hits soft fly to shallow CF. Benson down swinging. We're facing a tough lefty. Barrero caught looking on soft curve.  Barrero is ofer 2023.

Lodolo gets a grounder to Barrero, then a liner to 1b, and another grounder to Barrero. Nice play.  6 pitch inning.

Maile lines a single. Fairchild down swinging on breaking ball. Fraley down swinging. Pitching change. TyStve doubles down the line and drives in Maile.  TySteve's first hit of the year.  Pinder ground out.

Law on to pitch third. Gets a flyout. and then long fould to Barrero. Nice play again. If he could just hit. Flyout to CF.  Good inning for Law.

The Dodgers fought Law.  But Law won.

Thor in to pitch. Friedl flies out. Steer down swinging on appeal to 1b umpire. Benson called out on bad call.

Farmer in to pitch. Quick lineout than strikeout. Then a K on Muncy.  Still 1-0 Reds.

A single for Barrero.  Hard hit single.  Then a steal. Barrero then makes 2 consecutive base running blunders.  Takes off for third on ball hot to SS.  Should be out but bad throw is bad,  Then he heads for home and is out by a mile.

Fairchild flies out. I think wind kept that in park.  Same thing happens to Fraley.

Sims in to pitch. Swinging K.  Than a walk followed by flyout.  Reds have giving up no hits.  And then there's a hit. 2 on 2 down. Strikeout.

TySteve flies out. He's not quite there yet. Pinder grounds a ball thru for a single. Pinder steals.  This pitcher Reed has a very weird delivery.  Friedl gets hit right on knee and comes out of game. Siani runs for him. Steer hitting.  Steer lines into DP,
