While many haven't noticed...Janish isn't exactly swinging a wet noodle out there either. He's been hitting VERY well. With some pop too.

Stubbs is good.

**membengal** · 03-31-2010, 05:04 PM

Chris Burke pops out. That will keep him from trying to steal home again.

4-0 Reds middle of four.

I've noticed. Good for him. That can only help the club as he will likely see a decent amount of time.

Sorry, missed the first hitter. Apparently there are now two quick outs after a fly out.

**reds44** · 03-31-2010, 05:12 PM

Leake is mowing them down.

**membengal** · 03-31-2010, 05:12 PM

Kurt Suzuki flies out.

Three up and three down again for the A's.

4-0 Reds after four.

**membengal** · 03-31-2010, 05:12 PM

Folks, I gotta run to get my kids, someone else will need to fill in for pbp if possible.

Man does Leake sound ready for the bigs. We shall see...

**reds44** · 03-31-2010, 05:13 PM

I'll take over and do some PBP, unless until Leake departs.

**_Sir_Charles_** · 03-31-2010, 05:14 PM

Unless Wood is lights out, how do you NOT give the 5th slot to Leake? I know the arguments for getting him some time in the minors to get accustomed to the 5 man rotation, but shouldn't we be putting the BEST pitcher available in that slot? Chapman is coming back from the back spasms, so he's out IMO. Wood, Leake, Malony & Lehr are the options. Can't see it NOT being Leake right now.

Balentin grounds out to Rosales on the first pitch of the inning.

1 down

**reds44** · 03-31-2010, 05:16 PM

Rolen made some sort of out.

Nix with a 2 out hit.

**reds44** · 03-31-2010, 05:17 PM

RBI double for Hernandez.

5-0 Redlegs.

**TRF** · 03-31-2010, 05:18 PM

*trf will be happy to eat crow if this is the real Drew Stubbs.

forgive me if i don't hold my breath. But if it is, he makes the Reds more interesting.

Well, the A's aren't exactly the BRM. Wood will be facing a much tougher lineup. I think it will be Leake, but this outing can be deceiving.
