April 24, 201313 yr ^Leake to the pen....Let LeCure be the bulldog you bring in to get the tough outs in tight situations and allow Leake to be the long guy. I wouldn't fix the rotation. It kind of goes back to the Chapman debate. The rotation doesn't need fixing. Leake is fine. Leake as a starter is way more beneficial than a reliever. Cingrani with his strikeout capability could be dangerous in the pen this year. Except I'd move him back to a starting spot next year.
April 24, 201313 yr Reds have scored the 2nd most runs in MLB with 113 scored. I wouldn't have thought that but congrats to them!
April 24, 201313 yr Reds have scored the 2nd most runs in MLB with 113 scored. I wouldn't have thought that but congrats to them! I think they lead the league in most 6+ runs a game but are like 2nd in most games with under 2 runs scored. So they are feast or famine so far this year
April 24, 201313 yr Really enjoyed my first baseball game of the season. Big thanks to everyone at Great American, especially the nice ladies who sold me those two 24-ounce cans of Yuengling and the giant coozy to put them in. Really helped things move along.

I agree. Leake has been just as good as everyone else his past couple of times out. Keep him where he's at. As far as Cingrani though, I'd send him back to Triple-A. I'd want him to get regular work as a starter...mainly because of this...I don't think we're done needing a replacement. I think we got spoiled last year, with everyone always taking their turn. There's going to be something else come up (tired arm, strained groin, etc.) that's going to take one of our starters out for a bit. That's when I want him...and I want him sharp. If you move him into the pen...that's a change he's got to adjust to. Then, if you need him to do a spot start or two (or more), now he's got to re-adjust to that. No thanks. Send him back to Louisville, let him work on his second or third pitches, and have him ready if/when something else happens to the starters.
April 24, 201313 yr Overcast and raining in downtown Cincinnati. The sky looks like it's about 8:50 p.m. Plenty of good seats available at GABP.
April 24, 201313 yr Why? Is it raining again? They are bannana phoning at the moment, and come up and said 1:15 aint happening.
