Leake to start Game 4-According to Bailey
 

I like that.

He'll either be dominant or shelled.

Save Latos for Game 5 if need be. Because god forbid we have to rely on arroyo

And lose Cueto for the NLCS. Lovely.

Re: Leake to start Game 4-According to Bailey
 

Can you provide a link for the Bailey quote? The Dusty presser just ended a couple of hours ago and, in that, he said they had to talk it over with Latos probable or Leake but unsure about Cueto's condition.

Re: Leake to start Game 4-According to Bailey
 

Leake is a good young pitcher with loads of talent. I'm just happy to be a part of the challenge. Baseball is a fun game!

Re: Leake to start Game 4-According to Bailey
 

It was what had to happen. Cueto wasn't going to be ready for NLCS.

Re: Leake to start Game 4-According to Bailey
 

Wasn't going to be ready? With a mild strain?

What is going on in this organization? Joey Votto misses an eternity for what typically requires 10-12 days, and now this???

Keep him off the DL and at least give him a shot to pitch late in the NLCS if the Reds are able to make it.

Re: Leake to start Game 4-According to Bailey
 

I agree. I think you have to keep Cueto active in hopes that he can come back. It doesn't appear to be that big of an injury so why throw the towel in on him when you can just take your chances with other options in this series, up 2-1.

Re: Leake to start Game 4-According to Bailey
 

Why is everyone so concerned with the NLCS? I do believe that you have to beat San Francisco in order to play in it.

All the doom and gloom over not having Cueto for a series you still may not play in is silly.

Re: Leake to start Game 4-According to Bailey
 

Because there are ways to have your cake and eat it too as it currently stands. If you just DL Cueto, you lose that option.

Re: Leake to start Game 4-According to Bailey
 

your focusing to much on cueto.

it could be someone else...

Re: Leake to start Game 4-According to Bailey
 

And the point is if you don't DL Cueto and go with Latos on short rest and then Arroyo you may lose the option of playing in the LCS. Focus on the task at hand because it is still a significant challenge.

Re: Leake to start Game 4-According to Bailey
 

I guess I have more confidence than you Who Dey in regards to Latos and Arroyo and/or the bullpen being able to win one of these 2 games.

Re: Leake to start Game 4-According to Bailey
 

The Cards are just the luckiest dudes around. Play Washington- No Strasburg, play Cincy- No Cueto....

Re: Leake to start Game 4-According to Bailey
 

All the pitchers are good. In case I don't see you, It's been a nice series guys.

Re: Leake to start Game 4-According to Bailey
 

They've always been lucky.
