Castro triples off the wall in left. Ludwick was totally lost on that one. 5-1 Cubs.

Re: 4-21-2012 Reds vs Cubs

He's throwing almost all sinkers and cutters -- all between 84 & 88. How about something to change their bat speed? Where's Mes on this one?

Mike Leake is missing his spots today, big time.

April hasn't been his strongest month in his career.

I wish Homer Bailey was as good as Mike Leake.

By this time in his other starts, the Brewers and Cardinals had both put up 6 runs against Maholm.
