August 25, 201214 yr Jamie Ramsey @Jamieblog Beginning with the 2010 season, Jay Bruce has more home runs (32) against lefties than any other lefty-swinging big leaguer. #Reds.
August 25, 201214 yr Bullpen needs to be ready right now. He definitely should have someone warming up right now just in case. Don't want to let them come back with a big inning here.
August 25, 201214 yr Go get him. I would give him one more batter, since he is pretty good at getting ground balls.

August 25, 201214 yr Author Good move here by Dusty' date=' with a lefty coming up it was time to get Leake out.[/quote'] Even after the DP I would have pulled him.
August 25, 201214 yr Great outing by Leake. Let's hope the pen can do their job. Very good outing. With him being a ground ball pitcher, and with him being able to keep his composure better than Homer IMO in what will be big games is why I say him if they do use a 4 man rotation in the playoffs. Especially with the way it is setup and them being on the road first for some reason. I would go Cueto, Arroyo for the two road games. Then Latos and Leake for the first two home games. That is only if they use a 4 man rotation.
August 25, 201214 yr Even after the DP I would have pulled him. Which if they pulled him I would have been fine with it, and wouldn't have been a bad move either. However with them being up three and him being a groundball pitcher, it presented a chance to get a ground ball double play like that to help kill a big inning for the Cardinals. Its one of those things if it works it was the right move, but if it doesn't then it could easily be second guessed too.
