Brox could use the inning, but I think the CG shutout would be more important for Leake. I think it would really help hi psyche, especially against this team in this ballpark. I remember a year or two ago when he was on the verge of a shutout against the Giants and Sandoval spoiled it with a 2 out homer in the 9th. He was really disappointed. I let him finish it off tonight, it seems like it'd be important to him and may do a great deal for his confidence.
Just think, if Hanigan were catching, he'd have an el perfecto going.Originally Posted by _Sir_Charles_
His four-seamer is tailing in toward righties and away from lefties...does anyone know if that's normal for him? I remember his hammer having a lot of horizontal action when he was first breaking in, but I don't recall his four-seamer tailing like that.

Leake just missed the cycle did he not?

Ugh, Leake. Get it together.

A night for the young guys.
Here's the big question though....if you do decide to pull Leake...do you pinch hit for him? I sure don't...EVER.

2 more innings for a ZERO walk series for Reds pitchers.
Can anybody recall the Reds ever doing that before? Seriously...I'm wracking my brains, I can't.
Justin Freeman in for Leake. MLB debut. Good luck rook.
Good job Dusty. The kid's going back down tomorrow most likey...give him a taste.
Or not.
He would have needed a double, too. He has the triple and two singles.
Cozart is the one a triple away.
Heisey ruins Freeman's first MLB hitter he faces.

We better see Broxton in the 9th.
Freeman has the part of the beard Leake is missing. They should work together on that.
