Watching the MLB network I heard Rosenthal, I think, tell a story about the locker room that Yadi saw a young player playing with a mobile game device in the locker room after the game. He told the player that he should put the game down and study for tomorrows game instead.
Sounds like something Chris Carpenter would have done back in the day. No idea if true or not but Rosenthals stuff is usually solid info. |

Can we give Leake a participation trophy. Maybe give him some orange slices and a juice box after the game.

I am absolutely flabbergasted that Leake's xFIP is still only 3.94. The guy is complete and total ass.
Against bad hitters, he is a good pitcher because he has decent control and they can't turn on his stuff very well. Against great hitters he might be one of the worst pitchers in the league, because he can't execute pitches with enough velocity or movement to fool any of them, and they just tee off. I'd put it this way: facing a team like the Padres he's probably a lot like Lance Lynn. Facing a team like the Red Sox, he's Mike Maroth. |
