Re: Who will start Game 4?
Has to be Latos.
Can't be Cueto given the oblique and clearly they're struggling to decide whether to DL him.
Can't fake an injury. That's a bit silly. And very risky.
Leake only possible if they DL Cueto. And, given the late hour, doesn't look too likely since they must think he'd be usable for LCS.

I don't know..Latos in Game 4..using your best chip...ugh, I don't know. I would save Latos, I mean do we really rely on arroyo if game 5 becomes reality? Or do we rely on the horse that's always been dominant against the Giants.
It's such a tricky situation.
Re: Who will start Game 4?
You have to find somehow, some way to start Leake tomorrow. He was lights out against that lineup in the season and it puts Latos on his normal rest. As good as Bronson was the other day, I want no part of him against Cane

He wasn't really lights out. He had a complete game, yes. But the Giants had plenty of opportunities and left many men on base. I like Leake...but
Re: Who will start Game 4?
Bailey said in an interview that Leake is starting tomorrow.
Re: Who will start Game 4?
IMO it will be Leake on a short leash. Remember, the Reds are still in the driver seat and can afford to allow Latos to get his rest for a potential Thursday game. Also, if Leake falters, you have two long guys in LeCure and Simon available to eat up innings and protect your back end bullpen guys.
Leake almost makes too much sense for tomorrow.
Re: Who will start Game 4?
He he he. I'm got u guys tonight, despite my hurt calve. Good game.
We are hungry and I the Hunter am hunting for another victory tomorrow. Now if you guys pull it off I'll be a good sport. But we are hungry and ready to come alive.

Proper spelling and grammar are essential for good message board trash talk. This is not good message board trash talk.
Re: Who will start Game 4?
Mike Leake and the BP, need to save Latos for game 5 so he will be rested if needed and if not needed can go in the NLCS since we are likely to be without Johnny Cueto which totally blows.

I'm not talking trash though. You guys may end up winning the world series. But I will be ready tomorrow. There is no guarantee and it's going to be tough.
Re: Who will start Game 4?
There is no sense to pitch Latos in Game 4 on short rest when the Reds still have the upper hand in the series. I trust Leake against Zito tomorrow. If not, then the Reds still have Latos on full rest against Cain on Thursday.
Re: Who will start Game 4?
You DL Cueto. If he's still not sure how he feels 3 days after his injury then he's not going to be ready to pitch in the NLCS. With the way this medical staff operates I'll be surprised if he's ready by spring training.

It doesn't matter who we face tomorrow. We're just happy to have a tomorrow.
Re: Who will start Game 4?
No Leake unless you DL Cueto.
Can't even speculate on Cueto since just too much unknown. The 3-day-uncertainty-so-won't-be-ready-for-NLCS theory simply isn't based on anything.
Will be clear soon enough.
