Cards at Reds - Game 2

• mhs95_06

  Get Leake out after the one pitch! But Dusty has no one up until they already have a man on. Brantley was calling for two pitchers to be up before the last half inning was over!

  Leake hasn't gotten a close call on the edge of the plate all day!
• Midstate01

  

  Fuck. Here come the cards. Dusty always waiting too long... Shocking
• mhs95_06

  Dusty, there are now two on and none out!
• Midstate01

  

  Well that's a HUGE dp

  Will this be the 3rd game in a row that the critcal runs scored in a loss the next half inning after the Reds took a 3 run lead? In their last two games the Cards have scored 5 and 6 runs in an inning, both to take 3 run leads and take the win.

  I know Leake has has some great outings. But I'll stand by my statement from early on in the year. Leake gives you 6, you say thanks and take the ball.
• mhs95_06

  Shoddy defense by Frazier, otherwise the inning would be over at 4-2.
• Midstate01

  

  Marshall gets carpenter on 1 pitch. Hell yea. Now get some more funs and finish these whiny bitches!
• Midstate01

  

  This cards lineup is loaded. I have no idea how they lose so many games. So many hitters above or hovering around .300. They make hitting look so easy.

  Don't need to take the ball, depending on the lead. He has a complete game and has pitched into the 8th before and if I'm not mistaken has burned
  Dusty on at least one late occasion like that, and I've heard Dusty say how quick Leake goes. Dusty just needs to have someone throwing when the 7th starts and not be slow to pull the trigger when one gets on, and for sure when two get on!

  Huge win today. Now at worst we can only lose one game in the standings. Tomorrow is a bonus game

  Bonus game? Depends if you are playing for home field advantage throughout or not!

  Stubbs has 35 whiffs this month. 5 games left....had months of 39, 40 and 41 last year, his 3 worst ever.
  
  Of his last 17 starts he has made 4 or more outs in 12 of them.

  I was at the game. They had Larkin's jersey retirement ceremony beforehand. Pretty cool.
