Way to go out on a limb with us playing Pittsburgh.
Sounds good, Lets go Reds!
Proud To Be An American But Even Prouder To Be A Reds Fan!
Leake is trying to become the first Cincinnati pitcher to start his career 5-0 since Santo Alcala in 1976.
And he already should be...
-Matt
You guys are forgetting he'll go 2-4 at the plate also.
I'm still getting over how they blew his last game and cost him a win...
better not jinx!
good call. and its a joke that was an earned run. i know the player has to atleast touch the ball but still on that routine of a play.
I'm absoluty sick after this game. And outside of Leake they absolutly deserved to lose tonight.
I don't know if i've ever seen a team ever tank a pitcher the way the Reds have tanked Leake these last 2 games. Every single thing they could do to lose these games they've done.
1. Play terrible defense behind him--Check
2. Have a beyond terrible approach at the plate against someone prone to walks--Check
3. Horrible bullpen work--check
4. Not see lazy flyballs--check
5. Be embarassed by Leake's superior hitting--check
6. Play overall uninspired terrible ball--check
Meanwhile, Leake did every thing to win
1. Pitch great--check
2. Get bunts down--check
3. Play great defense with smart throws--check
4. Have solid at bats leading to hits--check
The reds have done everything possible to lose these last two games. If I'm Leake I'm saying enough with the hazing. I truly believe the Reds AA team would've won behind Leake tonight.
The dude should be 6-0 right now. Unbelievable.
Also noteworthy, this is the second time in less than a week that Dusty has pulled a rolling Arthur Rhodes from a game, only to bring in a pitcher who promptly gives up a game-winning home run. He's really pushing all the wrong buttons right now.
