    Right. Because 100 million dollar man hasn't had a start like this this season.

    Good argument...since 2 wrongs make a right.

    No, context is everything. Compare season performance.

    I do think of it that way....but it's not like Leake hasn't had anything to do with the success. I mean come on.

    How specifically has he controlled his strand rate?

    Well then break the 4 years down into smaller chunks and find fault. It's the path to not being wrong.

    Have you ever went into Gander Mountain and been accused of stealing a duck call and stink bait?

    Regardless, what's your explanation for how he specifically controlled his strand rate?

    Confusing game for Leake.

    Giving up a grand slam to Ike Davis... Something an average 5th starter would do.
    That's all you give up, and keeping the team in the game after that... Something a mid rotation starter would do.

    Actually you've got obfuscation and illigetimate snark. There's a large sample demonstrating the impact of the Reds defense.

    Agreed, the facts and sample size all point to the effect of defense.
