Mike Lincoln didn't impress anyone as he allowed seven hits and four earned runs in only 1 1/3 innings in yesterday's Spring opener against the Cleveland Indians. The story on the Reds' offense is extremely similar. The Reds collected five hits (only two by starters) and scored only 2 runs. Both runs were scored in the bottom of the eighth inning after the Indians had already taken a 9-0 lead. Miguel Cairo drove in the first run scoring Ryan Hanigan with a double, and Paul Janish drove Cairo in with a sacrifice fly. Rotation spot-seeking pitcher Justin Lehr also looked dismal allowing two runs and five hits in two innings of work. The Reds ended up losing 9-2. The Reds and Indians will go at it again today at 1:10pm. Johnny Cueto will start the game with right hander Mike Leake also planned to get some action.

Maybe some of our pitchers can benefit from this video on baseball physics.
