4-21-2012 Reds vs Cubs

Lineups:

Reds
Cozart
Stubbs
Votto
Phillips
Ludwick
Rolen
Heisey - 9
Mesoraco
Leake


Bruce out, 45 degrees, wind not reported yet. Nice to see Mes get back to back starts.

Leake with Mes as the catcher this year pitched 6 ip, 7 h, 3 er, 1 bb, 4 k
For his career, he's pitched to Mes three times for a line of 23 ip, 16 h, 6 runs (all earned), 3 bb, 12 k, 2.35 era, .203 Avg Against
For what it's worth, which is very little considering it's just three games, Leake has pitched much better with Mes behind the dish than Hanigan, and of course Ramon Hernandez (I don't think any pitcher last year pitched better with Hernandez catching, literally. Enought about him though).

Let's pick up another W and extend this massive win streak!

Bruce usually doesn't get days off or need them necessarily. What gives?

He's been bad against Maholm. Also, I'd say Heisey and Ludwick both deserve a start...jmho

Re: 4-21-2012 Reds vs Cubs

Not a bad line-up against the lefty. I'd probably move Mes to 6th and drop Rolen and Heisey each down a spot. I hope Phillips is OK.

Re: 4-21-2012 Reds vs Cubs

I am predicting a win and a good start of 7 innings for Leake.

Ludwick chases a low outside pitch and strikes out swinging.

Re: 4-21-2012 Reds vs Cubs

Cozart doubles and Stubbs does the right thing and grounds to the right side to get him over to 3rd. I've noticed in the last few games they are doing more of the little things to manufacture runs, which is nice to see.
