Mike "Kelly" Leake Appreciation Thread

Yes, it's called luck, it's been around for awhile.

Mike Leake will be skipped for Cleveland series. Leake is on pace to pitch 200 innings this season. The Reds don’t want him to pitch nearly that many. “We have a round number,” Walt Jocketty said. “Probably 170, but it’s not etched in stone.”

Blagh.

So it sounds like they will be giving him plenty of rest in-between, versus having a "shut down" date. I wonder if this 170 innings would include play beyond September...

Kelly Leake gives up a grand slam to.. Skip to My Lou Schumaker? Y'ouch

Leake needs to be shut down. Bring Bailey back and give the rookie a solid month off (a few weeks for fatigue, then begin a throwing program to grace him back in.... if he looks ready.) That, or give him time and then, if you do bring him back, its for bullpen work.
