Re: Reds vs. Nationals Friday 5/11

Chapman is not going to be a starter this year barring a big injury, you guys need to get that through your heads now. Even if he did become a starter then you guys would be *****ing about how bad our bullpen is. Think!

Bailey has 4 QS this season while dealing with Mes for 3 of them and his usual early season struggles with his offspeed stuff.

of course the bullpen will take step back but the goal is to not let the lower end pitch. leake always does

I agree they haven't done very well, but if our offense could take some pressure off of them by scoring some runs maybe they could relax a little.
It seems we have to come from behind every game and then don't score until late in the games.

Re: Reds vs. Nationals Friday 5/11

I think it may be time for Mr. Leake to visit Mr. Power in Louisville for a couple of weeks and figure out what is wrong. Call up Jeff Francis, let him by your 5 guy and get the Leake fixed so to speak...

That was a decent pitch. Better hitting.

F. P. SANTANGELO has to be the most annoying color analyst in baseball. I'm glad you guys don't have to deal with him. He does all the Nats games.

I don't know how the rotation will work out, but the thought of Leake facing the Yankees lineup is pretty scary haha.

Not too bad, but he has given up more than 1 hit per inning. No one on the Louisville staff are doing very well. They are dead last in their division, and surprisingly are having trouble hitting.
