Re: 7/24/10 Reds @ Astros--Deep in the Heart of Lefties

Cueto's last few innings have been pretty easy so I imagine Dusty will send him out there with a very short leash in case he gets into trouble. He could have a seven pitch inning and be done with it. Isn't the bottom of the Astros order coming up?

Yes it is so hopefully he can get through this without too many pitches

That would be disappointing. Cueto burned out last year and here you have a chance to let him go clean with a 6 run lead at 100 pitches. No need to push him here. Why create an opportunity for him to struggle? More to lose than to gain in my book.

Bullpen could use a rest as well.

3 hitter thru 7, bottom of the lineup. I understand it. Not thrilled, but not overly concerned.

I guess we'll see. Here's to a 1-2-3, 8 pitch 8th!

2 pitches, 1 hit. We'll see just how long that leash is. Double play time Johnny!

Crap. Looked like a possible DP and Cabrera drops the ball at 2nd. 1st and 2nd.

Reds Fanatic, I can take PBP now if you need a break, or not if you wanna keep going.
