MIKE LEAKE RUMORS & GOSSIP

In brief: Former Red Affeldt overcomes homophobia

Last game Mike Leake, fresh off the worries of being demoted to the minors for some up-start rookie, dominated the New York Mets last night, shutting them out for 7 innings, while allowing only 3 hits. The offense used a game plan that I think should be repeated in the future and scored all the runs the team needed in the first. Sure some of it was due to the Mets pretending to be...

Leake in Control

Mike Leake’s four-year career has seen multiple threats to his spot in the rotation. During nearly all of that time is that he has continued to throw the ball for the first pitch every fifth day. He was the first starting pitcher in over twenty years to bypass the minor leagues before his MLB debut and is just now entering what should be the peak years of his career.

The Phillies Offense Has Sprung a Leake

In 2012, the Phillies faced Reds pitcher Mike Leake twice and destroyed him to the tune of 13 runs. He had an overall ERA against the Phils of 17.55. Ouch. But last night, this team sprung Leake from his Phillies prison, allowing him to mow them down one hitter after another. Ah, sweet freedom for Mr. Leake. He must be quite relieved this morning. On the exact opposite side, the...

Moving Mike Leake to bullpen could be best for all

The plan to transition Cuban phenom Aroldis Chapman from reliever to starter is one widely welcomed by Reds fans. In fact, it is probably a move that is being secretly lauded by current Reds players as well. However, there may one guy in particular who isn't so thrilled by the team's decision. And that guy is right-hander Mike Leake. This is because Chapman's new...
