Re: 8/18 Game 1 Cubs at Reds
I'm very glad Chapman pitched. He was due to give up a run once every 24 games, so at least he did it with a 3-run cushion. Now he should go scoreless the rest of the season

Not bad to have a closer for whom that's a bad outing. Let's get tonight's game and let Latos go for the sweep. And it's time to start rooting for the Pirates to lose. |

Re: 8/18 Game 1 Cubs at Reds
The Star of the Game is Johnny Cueto.
I figure that Chapman is unavailable foe Game 2. The combination of Broxton and Marshall should be able to close, if needed. I also think that Brandon Phillips might get the second game off, with Wilson Valdez getting the start at 2B. Otherwise it will be the regulars with Mesoraco catching. My prediction: Cozart ss Stubbs cf Frazier 1b Ludwick lf Bruce rf Rolen 3b Valdez 2b Mesoraco c Redmond p

Re: 8/18 Game 1 Cubs at Reds
The Reds have a rookie pitcher going, their closer unavailable and a lefty that they just saw pitching against them. I'm guessing the regular RH bats will all play. I'm guessing the Reds will try to pour on the runs to insulate them from a poor outing by Redmond and to keep it from being close late in the game with Chapman unavailable. Valdez can play tomorrow when the team can lean on Latos.
