Reds at Pirates...Game 2

• Ironman92

  

  The no way in hell game of the series. Leake struggles with all lefties and also the Pirates' righties.....and facing 11-2 1.78 Gerrit Cole
  
  Reds muster a run and lose 8-1

  Agreed.
  
  But one big factor is....my family is 6-0 while attending reds games in pittsburgh and some will be there tonight. I think that trumps all the other matrix you can come up with!
  
  
  ..or you can say they are due to see a loss!

  I'd worry more about the jinx here if you weren't the modern day Kobe of sports jinxes, where you toss up 25-30 a day and hope to get a couple to stick.

  Jay Bruce solo shot in the 9th for the 1 run.

  Ironman may be jinxing it, but I honestly don't think that's what he was doing lol Leake is absolutely horrible against lefties. I give it about a 5% chance of winning.

  I like Leake but what do ya do with him after this year? Makes too much $$$ for a middle of the rotation guy, or is that the price you pay nowadays? I was all for keeping him but that is a quite a bit of $$ for an average starter.

  I love Leake but he cannot finish off a lefty and struggles with Cutch, Harrison and Marte

  Kobe has how many championships?
  
  Go sit down heretic...and take thevoice with you for trying to mess it up

  7 game home winning streak and 11-2 on the hill

  7-0. REds might as well treat my family to every game they play in Pittsburgh

  SS defense almost does the Reds in for the series, but not quite -- they take the series, going 13 in the finale with Villarreal getting the save(not officially because a relief pitcher cannot get a win and a save in the same game)! He is NOT one of my league leading fantasy team's closers! I guess Price knows what he is doing sending Negron down and keeping Contreras, Villarreal, and Adcock.

  Somehow took 2/3 from the Buccos. Hoping we can at least finish the first half strong because god knows we are going to shit down our pants after the ASB.
