OMAHA, Neb. -- We're scoreless through two innings of Friday night's College World Series game between Arizona State and Texas.

As ASU coach Pat Murphy gets second-guessed about his decision to start Mike Leake on two days' rest after Leake threw 77 pitches Tuesday night, let's follow along by charting his pitch count:

-- First inning: 16 pitches (10 strikes)

-- Second inning: 13 pitches (11 strikes)

-- Total pitches: 29 (21 strikes)

I wonder what the Cincinnati Reds think about Murphy's decision after the MLB club selected Leake in the first round (eighth overall) of last week's draft.
