May 13, 201412 yr Mike Leake takes the mound tonight to get us started on the right track for another series win. Hopefully the weather won't be as bad tonight and tomorrow as the forecasters are saying it might be. Leake (2-3 with a 3.40 ERA) vs. Cashner (2-5 with a 2.86 ERA)
May 13, 201412 yr Cashner is tough. Padres have won 3 straight. They're 6-10 on the road & 18-21 on the year.
May 13, 201412 yr Need a sweep. Reds need to run off about 10 in a row. Obviously that'd be nice but they just need to keep winning series...
May 13, 201412 yr Tuesday: Cashner v. Leake. Cashner has been lights out but hasn't gotten any run support. The Padres haven't scored with him on the bump in his last 3 starts. Wednesday: Ian Kennedy v. Johnny Cueto Kennedy has been solid & was great in his last start vs. Miami (7 innings, 1 run, 12 K's) but Cueto is a STUD Thursday (12:35 p.m.): Tyson Ross v. Alfredo Simon Ross, like Kennedy, had a good game against the Marlins (7 innings, 1 run, 8 K's). Simon looks to bounce back after struggling against the Rockies on Saturday.
May 13, 201412 yr If I remember correctly, Ross threw a gem against us last year. Had some kinda nasty breaker that he threw well. Drove me nuts watching our guys swing and have the ball dip 3 feet down and away from them again and again... On paper, I'd say game 2 goes to us and 3 goes to them, making tonight all the more important.
May 13, 201412 yr I wish he'd switch Votto back to 2hole and Pena to 4hole. Meso should be hitting 4th.

May 13, 201412 yr I don't understand having Votto, who does everything else well except drive in runs, batting cleanup. Then you have Pena who runs like LRCW in the 2 hole. Not feelin it. I understand you had to shake things up, got some success, now, shake it back.

I think it should be Hamilton Pena Votto Frazier Phillips Ludwick Heisey Cozart Leake I cant stand BP in the 3. He has done nothing to prove he belongs there.
