4.12.13 v Pirates

I wonder if Mike Leake being a bad pitcher is Mes fault?

Mike Leake doing his best Mike Leake impression already. 1-0 Bucs on a Martin single.

Then inning ends on a groundout to BP.

I can't crush Leake for that inning. That zone was brutal. I'm glad he only gave up one. Heisey throws about as well as he hits though.

Just found it. Lopes is the 1st base coach for the Dodgers. Sure did look like him though.

No one just posted "ballgame?" The sundeck would have never suffered such an omission.

I want to know how the Reds came to the conclusion Leake was a better option to start than Chapman. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Leake sucks or he should go to AAA yet, but lord.

.043 hitter Russell Martin with a single to make it 1-0 Bucs after 1

XPaul should be playing against Burnett. Rather than Heisey.

Phillips ties it with a bomb to center.

Yeah, I am not sure if Chapman would have worked or not, but I think Leake will likely lose his spot in the rotation to someone.

brandon ties it with a long shot to center :thumbup:

Completely agree. At this point, I don't think Heisey should be playing at all, much less against tough righties.

Mez's fault? Leake is the Reds worst starter regardless of who is catching.
