Washington Nationals (Ross Detwiler) at Cincinnati Reds (Mike Leake) - Game 5

• Azubuike24

  

  I probably won't be awake when this starts, so might as well get it rolling.
  
  Mesoraco finally starts. Have a feeling Paul gets the start after the salami tonight.
• mhs95_06

  How about Heisey starts Sat vs the lefty, and Paul starts in the battle of the aces?
• Ironman92

  

  Need mor wins!
• Azubuike24

  

  Probably true. Although, could be Bruce sitting. Who knows with Dusty. It's so early, just play your ideal lineup (sans the C).
• Rotinaj

  

  This Detwiler guy sounds like a bum. Votto hits 4 bombs and the Reds lose 6-4.
• Terry_Tate

  

  Same lineup as the last 3 games except with Meso in.
  
  Here's how this will go down. Reds will lead 4-1 in the 5th, Azu will come in again and say "Game over. Leake just needs one more inning then bullpen will have this shit on lockdown." Leake will then give up 4 in the 6th and Nats will add one late on a solo shot to win 6-4.
• Ironman92

  

  Leake will face a pissed off WS contender and will give up 6 in 4 1/3 innings and Reds talk will implode on Leake.
• mhs95_06

  Leake survives the 2nd with still a shutout, but he had to use up the pitcher's AB for an out to do it. Will have to start at the top in the 3rd. Good work by Choo on the ball off the wall with runner on 1st and two out to assure the runner doesn't score the first run of the game.
• Rotinaj

  

  Theres the Leake we know!! Now if he only gives up 4 more runs in 3 innings ill be happy.
• Midstate01

  

  Harper goes deep 2-0.
• Midstate01

  

  Heisey about hit into the 6-4-3 dp but legs it out. Not sure why he wasn't bunting though with runners on 1st and 2nd and no outs.
• Midstate01

  

  Then votto hits into a dp to end the inning. Ouch.

  WTF Bruce..at least get BP to 3rd
• mhs95_06

  Bruce with another empty AB with a runner on he needed to do something with!
• mhs95_06

  Frazier bails Bruce out with an RBI and himself in scoring position.
• Midstate01

  

  RBI double for Frazier. Drilled it up against the wall.

  He only gets hits with the bases empty.
• Midstate01

  

  Cozart swung at a 2-0 ball in his eyes.
• Terry_Tate

  

  Its sad that I felt much more confident with Frazier up there than Bruce. Can't believe how bad Bruce has been with RISP this year.
• Terry_Tate

  

  Leake will make him pay.

  Occasionally he knocks in a runner from first!
• Midstate01

  

  Jeff keppinger is playing first for the white sox today. Didn't know he played any first.
• wildcats20

  

  Choo with a lead off HBP. Would be nice to get a couple runs here.
• mhs95_06

  Super slo-mo clearly showed that pitch catching Choo's sleeve. Now in business with the first two reaching. Let's see how the middle of the order performs. A good job would mean the lead.
• Midstate01

  

  Thata boy heisey. C'mon votto.
