Big night for Latos

A couple starts under his belt and all. Not doomsday if he doesn't pitch well but I think tonight may give us an indication of what we get from him this year.

He is horrible, no way to sugarcoat it. Reds big offseason add ons have been complete duds.

Since when had Latos ever been on Big Time Timmy Jims level? Laughable. He was a petco park baby and we are just now seeing it.

Re: Big night for Latos

Latos was pretty good in SD last year, he has a tendency to start out slow though with a 5.25(and rising) era in April.

That said, he and Bailey look like clones when they struggle and labor. Same stupid mistakes and errors. At least Bailey has the "poor spring training prep/lack of weight training excuse the last 2 seasons. Latos has had his injuries, but not lack of stuff ala Bailey.

Have been. Doesn't mean will continue to be. A bit much to say he is horrible.

It's good to see this forum return to some enlightened discourse. Thank you for this extremely provocative, intelligent, and original observation.

He has sucked so far. That much is true. But to assume that he is a bust after only his third start is pretty idiotic in and of itself. Not everyone is going to be lights out 33 times a year.

Re: Big night for Latos

Horrible thus far would have been a better way of phrasing it. One positive I see for team the Reds were 5-9 at one point in 2010.

Take a deep breath. It's still April, and STL is hot. Disappointing night for sure, though.

Re: Big night for Latos

Why did I start Latos in my league?!
Hopefully its just his usual crappy april.

Stubbs is a bum.
Id rather him hit .300 and score 0 runs. Than the 92(really good) runs he scored last year. Clutch hitting is better than crossing home plate in blowouts.
