Baker instead orders Bruce to gentle go into that good night. Bruce complies. End of 1 no score.

Bruce you should rage against the dying of the night.

How about last year, Chris?

Chris Welsh said that it's been a while since the Reds had three position players in the All-Star Game. Last year they had Votto, Phillips, and Rolen.

Welsh says some of the most inane things sometimes. Case in point....Cozart coming up would not help since he would only bat 8th. So even if he goes 2 for 4 ..for about the first 3-4 games....that would not help at all.

Maybe he moves up in the lineup??

Other than the 0-2 dinger, Leake's looked VERY good. As usual, that ball strike ratio is fantastic. 50 strikes, 21 balls. I'll take that from my starter every day thank you very much.

7 k's, 0 bb, 2 runs, 3 hits. Nice.

I will be more than happy to admit that the sarcasm that has infested my posts these last few weeks....was all for naught..if this team goes on a big run, like everyone says they will do, or expects them to do. How about winning about 13 out of 14? Maybe a 1990 like run when they went 33-12 to start the year?
