Dear Mike Leake,
You usually don't want to throw the ball over the middle of the plate to every hitter.
Sincerely,
Screwball
They are stealing the Reds signs. Just watched three Phils in a row on 2nd base dip their heads back toward 2nd signaling the batter that a breaking ball is coming.

He had good movement on his fastball. He just made a ton of mistakes on the breaking pitch that landed in the wheelhouse to decent hitters. Frustrating!
This game is totally on Leake. What's Dusty to do, have a guy warming up to start the fifth inning?
This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.
You score 5 on Halladay and you should win, but...

“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
LeCure in to pitch
Watch the guy on 2nd. When he dips his head back toward 2nd, breaking ball.

Polanco pops out to 1st.
Gotta get Ludwick and Frazier into the game now!!!! Cairo and Paul to the bench ASAP!
Just a horrendous outing by Leake and a ridiculous decision to leave him in so long.
