Re: This Epic Collapse Not Dusty's Fault

Not 100% sure where this info should go, but this thread seems as good as any. It's amazing the lack of coverage not having Cueto for 2 starts is getting. I've probably gone through 12-15 articles from various national, Ohio/Kentucky and Bay Area outlets, and there is ZERO mention of the Giants not having to face the Reds' ace twice (or even once!) in 5 games.

Imagine if the other teams lost their ace; how would they fare?

Yankees – CC
Athletics – Parker
Orioles – Chen
Nats – Strasburg (whoops, they’re already doing that)
Cards – Wainwright
Giants – Cain

Instead, Hunter Pence's pregame speech mojo and Big Time Timmy Jim's relief appearances take the forefront. I still believe in Latos and the pen and the offense to take it to SF today, but I can't believe how much losing Johnny has been glossed over by everyone but Reds fans.
