Edit: nevermind. I just saw they'd have to place Cueto on the DL to replace him mid-series. I don't think they'll want to commit to that.

Lecure was the pitcher of record when the Reds took the lead, so it wasn't in the official scorer's discretion. I think you are thinking about the situation where the starter is in line for the win but doesn't complete 5 innings. Cueto was not in line for the win when he left.

I thought you had to pitch past the 5th inning to get the win?

I guess that's only if you're the starter.

Latos deserved the W in my opinion but I'm not upset at all about LeCure getting it, he was huge when we needed him as well.

When Phillips hit that HR it was sorta like Eric Davis' HR in game one of the 1990 WS. Not exactly but I got a similar type feeling that the Reds had control of this series.

Just though I would bump this so we don'g need to look at that elimination thread all winter long.

Heh, I had actually considered starting a Spring Training game 1 thread for the same reason.
