June 27, 201412 yr Like Colonel Crazy, I had an early day today, so didn't end up staying up for the entirety. Glad to see my man come away with the win.
June 27, 201412 yr Always nice to win the 1st game, especially since the team didn't get to the hotel until 3 am local time.
June 27, 201412 yr - Really like seeing Bruce getting on a little hot streak. - Ludwick has been quietly solid this season. - Leake seems like the forgotten man of the staff. Hasn't had the wins like Simon, hasn't been dominant like Cueto, and hasn't had the hype that Latos' return has, but he's been insanely solid. 6-6 with ~3.35 ERA. I'll take that any day.
June 27, 201412 yr 1) Very solid win to start the West Coast trek. 2) I hate late, West Coast games..
June 27, 201412 yr Tonight's game should be a battle. Cueto vs. Bumgarner...First team to score wins.
June 27, 201412 yr Tonight's game should be a battle. Cueto vs. Bumgarner...First team to score wins. California Tie Breaker after 9 scoreless innings.
June 27, 201412 yr California Tie Breaker after 9 scoreless innings. They'll steal a page from the World Cup and go to hit differential.

I think Leake is certainly the most underappreciated pitcher for the Reds, and heck maybe even the National League. Coming into this year, I heard a lot of people that had already elevated Cingrani ahead of him. But, I'm not so sure on some staffs that some clubs may look at Leake as a solid #3 (or maybe even a #2!) But, on the Reds, fans figure he's only a #5, because he doesn't throw a 95mph heater.
June 27, 201412 yr They'll steal a page from the World Cup and go to hit differential. No, if they were to do that, it'd end in a tie. Only in the playoffs (knockout round) would they use the hit differential.
June 27, 201412 yr Leake is starting to remind me of Greg Maddux. His off-speed stuff that he used for "out" pitches last night was fantastic.
June 27, 201412 yr Reds starting pitching has been outstanding this year....50 QS in 78 games. Cueto - 14 of 16 QS Simon - 13 of 16 QS Leake - 10 of 16 QS Bailey - 8 of 16 QS Cingrani - 3 of 11 QS Latos - 2 of 3 QS
June 27, 201412 yr Tonight's game should be a battle. Cueto vs. Bumgarner...First team to score wins. California Tie Breaker after 9 scoreless innings.Really could use Meso's bat against the lefty Bumgarner tonight. Would be the perfect night to give Votto his day off, and catch Meso and put Pena at 1st base.
June 27, 201412 yr Really could use Meso's bat against the lefty Bumgarner tonight. Would be the perfect night to give Votto his day off, and catch Meso and put Pena at 1st base. Meso at first Pena at C. At some point in the future they will have to entertain the option of Meso playing somewhere other than catcher IMO. He's going to be too good of a hitter.
