With a 7-1 lead you just can't expect thing's like this to happen...

I agree with the majority that Leake should have been taken out after the 8th.

But I'm not going to bash Leake or anything...he was fantastic tonight.

He has a 100 pitch limit...at the beginning of the 9th he had only thrown 84 pitches...which is also good.

I don't think he was tired...he just left a couple meatballs that got hit out.

The bullpen tho...yeesh....needs fixed plain & simple.

Completely agree!!! 100% in no way is it Leake's fault or should the blame be placed on him at all. Like you said he was over the limit for pitches and after the Reds upper management said that he will be rested every chance, Dusty runs him out for the 9th. Why not take him out when his pitch control is failing...... ?

I just hope these loses do not come back to bite.
