This game will not be available to watch live on MLB.TV, correct? I'd assumed so since it will be on TBS, but I've heard conflicting things about this.

pretty comprehensive article here on the Liriano/Cueto matchup
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...-game-offenses
note that the v-Liriano numbers below are career numbers, while the general vLHP numbers are only for 2013
What I'd like to see:
Phillips 2B (.333 OBP v Liriano; .328 OBP v LHP)
Votto 1B (.333 OBP v Liriano; .377 OBP v LHP)
Mesoraco C (2-6, 2 2B, 3 BB v. Liriano; .321/.386/.487 v LHP)
Ludwick LF (4-9 v Liriano; .269/.321/.462 v LHP)
Heisey CF (2-3, 1 HR, 1 BB v Liriano; .259/.316/.494 v LHP)
Frazier 3B (3-9, 2 HR v Liriano; .236/.311/.471 v LHP)
Bruce RF (0-11 v Liriano; .246/.291/.443 v LHP)
Cozart SS .200/.273/.500 v Liriano ; .245/.275/.411 v LHP)
This leaves Choo available to pinch hit and double-switch in, and leaves Hamilton to pinch run or pinch hit from his more effective left-hand side
What I expect to see:
CF Choo
LF Ludwick
1B Votto
2B Phillips
RF Bruce
3B Frazier
SS Cozart
C Hanigan
Stick to your guns.
No way Mes starts...but really wish he would. We need as much offense as possible vs. Liriano.
Hanigan will catch Cueto. Mes will be good to have off the bench though.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
Choo
Ludwick
Votto
Phillips
Bruce
Frazier
Cozart
Hanigan
Cueto
That'll be the line up
I think people are over-simplifying the roster for this game. This isn't game 163, it's the playoffs. The rules for the playoffs count.
So as much as I would like to see both Hamilton and Robinson on the roster as well as Corky (give yourself the option to use your catchers in ways you wouldn't normally), the playoff roster rules still apply.
I am nervous. Already.

I just started dating this girl and requested her not to watch the game with me on Tuesday. Don't want her to see the real me.
If the Reds go deep into the playoffs, she will probably dump me.

Cueto has pitched a total of 12 innings since coming back. Against the Astros and Mets.
Does anybody have news on Latos's "injury." I did not hear about it until Cueto was announced as the starter. If he is "injured" to pitch Tuesday, is he still "injured" for game 1 of the NLDS? Seems to me he would be out of that series as well. Any news??
