Yeah, I would leave him out there for 5 at least. This one is done. Don't even bother using the pen. If he gives up 12 earnies, so what.

Chapman should close plain and simple. Marshall and Ondrusek would be in their familiar roles. Adam Wainwright spent his rookie season as the Cardinal's closer; they win the world series and the next 4 seasons Wainwright's in the running for Cy Young.

Hell NO! Leake needs to finish 6 innings, I don't care if he throws his elbow out.

Mike Leake doesn't even know it's a strikeout LOL

It looked like none of our guys knew how many outs there were.

Move over Sam, looks like Simon is the new mop up man.

Duhhhsty warming up Simon? Really?!?! Duhhh

5 straight Ks lol

Not into the game?

This game is over.

Wow, six in a row.

Oh man haha

I remember hearing that the Reds hit much better vs. LHP than RHP. What is going on with Gio then?

Also, the Reds only 2 baserunners are lefties.

This team is mentally out of it.

I suspect Dusty will name Hanigan the permanent starter tomorrow.
