Arizona Diamondbacks @ Cincinnati Reds-150
7:10 PM ET, July 29, 2014
Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati, Ohio
Both Mike Leake (7-9, 3.73) & Trevor Cahill (1-7, 5.72 ERA) will be counted on to give strong performances after both bullpens were depleted last night in a fifteen inning marathon where the D'Backs came away victorious. Believe it or not I really like the Reds today aside from all the drama thats going on with the organization. I think they dig deep and pull it out today. Jay Bruce has left the team on bereavement leave & no other details have been disclosed. I have noticed when things like this happen players/people tend to put things in perspective and rally around their teammate. I don't want to sound insensitive, but if anything is going to get a team focused its something like this. I saw it twice this year in the NHL with the death Martin St Louis mother & with the Dallas Stars Rich Peverley Who suffered a heart attack during a game
Both were heavy dogs 150/170 and both came away victorious I will post those write ups below. I see this game the same way if they (the Reds) cant get up for this then they really do need to sell I'll play Cincinnati-1.5 +170
