That's encouraging. I'd like to see him succeed as much as the next guy. I can't believe that the Reds' #1 guy used to be Elmer Dessens and now they have Mike Leake as their #5. That might be the most disorienting change about being a fan of this team over the past 20 years -- the radical improvement in the starting rotation.

Tim McCarver: Baseball Quotes
I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter, that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit.
Tonight will be a big test for Leake. If he rolls through StL, I'll be very impressed.

If he has a quality start, I'd be impressed.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
If he's impressive, I'll be impressed. :O)
Good example of regression to the mean happening tonight. A .282 BAA before tonight was an indicator of that.

The Cardinals are a very good team right now.
Did a few folks mistake an 8 for a 3 in those five innings?
