Re: 4-21-2012 Reds vs Cubs
He hasn't looked sharp in any of his outings this season. He's letting this game get away from him in a hurry!

Re: 4-21-2012 Reds vs Cubs
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?

Re: 4-21-2012 Reds vs Cubs
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.

Re: 4-21-2012 Reds vs Cubs
By this time in his other starts, the Brewers and Cardinals had both put up 6 runs against Maholm.
