6/12/2013 Reds at Cubs Afternoon Game

[RedTeamGo!]

Thinking this way....

Harvey
Kershaw
Zimmerman
Shelby Miller
Lee
Wood
Corbin
Wainwright
Minor
Bumgarner
Ryu
Fernandez
Strasburg
Lynn
Burnett

Think the Starters will come from that group. No REDS starter.

I think Latos has to be part of that group.

2.87 ERA
6-0
74 Ks / 22 BB
I can't find the quality start stat but I know he has a lot

I think you know the response.

The three Reds lefties are 1 for 11 with a walk.

Hope Aroldis is on today. Don't want all those posts saying he should only pitch the seventh, or whatever.

Using one game as a sample size makes Zeus throw thunderbolts at baby bunnies.

Reds are great against LHP. I know this because I've compared them to the other teams in the NL

[Kingspoint]

No way Fernandez and Strasberg are in that group...Burnett either really. Latos will be though. I'd put Locke in that group before Burnett to be honest.

I'm trying to come from a perspective of both the voters and the managers/coaches/players picks.

A Latos win tomorrow vs. Smarddjfsoafnade helps.

Is it just me, or does klw have a disturbingly odd man-crush on James Vanderbeek?

If the REDS get one, it's certainly him because of the win/loss (isn't supposed to mean anything, but it means everything when picking All-Star pitchers), though Homer has pitched just as well this season as Latos has.

How did she the look the second time around? A little like Penny on Big Bang?

A quick game of rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock should settle this debate.

[Chip R]

Two pitchers pitching great, but both on the outside looking in at the All-Star Game.

I think JS is in. After all, it's not like the Cubs have a lot of candidates to represent them.

I think it's a coin-toss by the choosers on Wood or JS, though I think Wood deserves it more. Don't think they'll pick both of them.

10. Wainwright has 12, 6 guys have 11, Latos grouped with around 5 guys with 10 quality starts.

Leake has 7 now btw. Homer (9), Latos (10) & Arroyo (9) all have more.

[Kingspoint]

Strong season for NL Starters. Will be hard for Relievers to make the pitching squad.

Who doesn't

Yeah I could tell you were. I mean the fish have to get SOMEONE.

But I'd be shocked if Latos wasn't included. Considering how awesome the Reds starting pitching has been this year...you'd think they'd want to take at least one. And Mat's been the best of the bunch. And that undefeated record is kinda hard to overlook.

[Kingspoint]

There's still about a month to go before the managers picks?

Why pick Samarzidja over Wood? Outside of K's...Wood has him beat in nearly every stat.

[VR]

Will Mike Leake get consideration for the all star game?

The fact that this comment even crosses our mind is a HUGE plus for this team.
