Really. These are human beings playing, not figures on a computer screen or stats on the back of a bubblegum card (dating myself?). They're prone to the same frailties that you and I are, they're going to make mistakes and have bad days and all that. It happens. Leake will return and do better sometime in the near future.

The Reds are still on pace to win this game.
Chris welsh said this park's in Volquez' head. I hope it continues.

I like our odds against Volquez as well as the Padres relievers who, while pretty good, are the friendly outside of Petco.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Btw, I missed it. Is Mes OK?

Well said. The constant, constant negativity while a ten game winning streak is in progress makes for a miserable game thread.
EV with the 55 ft 3-1 pitch to Mes.
Leadoff walk to Mesoraco
Crowd needs to get into EV's head too.
Man, is EV ever wild.

Great point. Leake essentially becomes your Bronson after Arroyo's is done as a Red. ERA's gonna be in the 4s, gonna pitch a lot of innings, will have a lot of really good starts and a lot of really bad starts and a lot in between..

You can tell Simon's a reliever.
Simon fouls out on a bunt attempt
I feel sorry for Simon. Only his third AB.
