There is talk that Cueto still might not be able to go Tuesday..so whom goes
Where did you hear this talk? I thought I read earlier today that Cueto said it's much better and he expects to pitch Tuesday.
Probably Lecure but Simon is a possibility. IMO it would require using both of those guys to be able to piece together about 6 innings.
Don't forget, the Reds got to save the bullpen as Bailey vs. Brewers is bound to be bad(0-5 with a 6.75era, bleh).
Cueto will go Tuesday unless he "rehurts" his blister.
I've gotta think Cueto will be ready Tuesday. If they caught this blister on Friday or early Saturday, that's enough time to get it treated so that it's not a problem.
Just read a piece on line and Dusty did not come off sounding real positive that Cueto will go Tuesday. It sounded like they will be over careful and would rather have him miss a start then risk further injury due to the blister. I would rather error with a skipped start then causing other issues to our ACE.
What if this is as good as it gets?
my guess would be Sam or Simon would start and once they get in trouble the other would go in. hope to get 7 innings between them both if possible.
Hopefully we get good Bronson tonight..say 7 innings, then go with Logan in the 8th and Marshall in the 9th. Then I would have Lecure start tomorrow night with the plan for him to go 4-5, then bring in Simon for say 2 and that gets you to the 7th and then go with the rest of bullpen. It would also mean we need Latos to do better then his previous 5 inning outing. Again I would rather see Cueto miss the start and be 100% and say have Cueto pitch the Sunday game vs. Brewers at home before we hit the road.
