Cingrani has done enough to keep pitching. Leake to the pen where he belongs. Not arroyo, not sure what those posts were about. Who would be the odd man out in the pen?
I'll def pay attention to all post game comments today
Bring on 2018! #%?*!
Leake to the pen makes NO sense for me. He's a slow-starter in ball games and routinely pitches better in later innings than he does in the first inning.
Manny Parra needs to be the one to go from the 'pen and Leake can be stashed in AAA.
Maddux was actually able to induce them on a regular basis...
I wouldn't go out of my way to compare Mike Leake to Greg Maddux...
2010 Mock Draft Selections (picking for Rays)
Bryce Brentz
Brandon Workman
Kris Bryant
Matt Lipka
Rick Hague
so Mike Leake the next Greg Maddux?
Leake in pen scares me even more also.
A lot of people were saying so in early 2010.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
the guy is a ball throwing machine
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
Speaking of scary, anytime Leake or parra are in, I'm scared. Parra has no use and neither does Leake. You need a guy that comes in as an innings eater when you are losing big. That could be Leake.

Even if that's true were in 2013 is he even close?
No way the Reds send this guy back down. What's the latest timetable on Cueto's return?
Nope, but maybe Cingrani isn't Superman either. I love what he's done, but it's three starts. Lots of really good three start stretches. Even the wretched Mike Leake had a pretty good run of them.

I understand all of this but what I'm saying who is more likely to shut a team down Cingrani or Leake with there best stuff? It just feels like whenever Leake is on he still gives up 2.
Unless something changes that will not work out, Leake gets hammered early. Over the last 3 seasons his 1st 15 pitches get lit up like a xmas tree
Anytime Leake pitches, there is a good chance the reds lose. Game 4 of the NLDS (2012) with Leake? The guy was left off of the initial 25 man postseason roster for a reason, and he hasn't gotten better stuff since then.
When is Cueto back?
Bring on 2018! #%?*!
