Reds vs. Giants - National League Division Series

Since it's official I figure we can start a thread regarding the Giants NLDS matchup.

I predict a low scoring, pitching dominated series. It is imperative that the Reds come home no worse than 1-1. If they do they will win the series.

GO REDS!

Still pissed that Dusty isn't going with Homer over Arroyo in game two, I hope if works out for him but not liking it one bit. Would be nice for him and us to knock off his old team and advance to the NLCS.

Anyone who thinks this is not the best matchup for the Reds is just crazy. I'm glad

I am not comfortable with Arroyo going in the 2nd game. I think it should be Latos. And what happens if Cueto loses game one? Does Dusty stick by his guns and start Arroyo in game 2? That could be playoff suicide.

I would have went Mat in game two if he wasn't going to take advantage of Homer being one of the best road pitchers in majors this year.

Re: Reds vs. Giants - National League Division Series

i will take an educated guess and say this will be a 9:30 start on Saturday, because Detroit will host a game on Saturday as well and I don't see them putting it on at 9:30

Re: Reds vs. Giants - National League Division Series

If we can pitch carefully to Posey, I think we can get through the Giants lineup. They don't have big bashers. Limit the walks and fielding mistakes, and we take the Giants.

Re: Reds vs. Giants - National League Division Series

I like the matchup with SF. I like the big ballpark, the early travel, and the manageble bats of the Giants. Also, our guys looked very comfortable playing there in the 3 games I attended this summer. Not guaranteed a win by any stretch but gives us AT LEASTas good a shot as the alternatives IMO.

PS And I'll be there rooting them on!
