1 pitch. 1 out. That's the way to get this thing going.
Too bad Homer wasn't available, he just pitched five innings on Wednesday. Homer is better on the road, and he would have been a natural for this spot.
Lecure has pitched very well of late, but he hasn't worked more than a couple of innings at a time. So it raises the question how Dusty will handle this. Leave Lecure in for awhile like a starter? Use the whole bullpen?
I wonder how serious this injury is. It's possible, Cueto could come back later in the series. Reds might have pulled him out of caution, who knows if it's a real serious injury.
Reds did great when Votto when out, maybe they will do great now too.
I'm sorry, you have to go with Latos or Homer here.
LeCure can get it done. I just know it.
It will work out. If injury is not too serious, Cueto could pitch in game 3.
If the injury is serious, they can disable Cueto and put Leake on the roster.
There's no way you can put Latos in here. You can't do that to him.
Pagan is now on the list.
There's no reason to assume that Cueto can't pitch again in this series. He might even go tomorrow.
Nice job Sam
Sandoval grounds out to 2nd. 0-0 after 1.
I wonder if the Giants might underestimate Lecure. They see Cueto leave and think they're going to romp.
The good guys get out of it.
The worst 1 2 3 inning in Reds history.
Way to go Sam!
It could be a precautionary thing.
Please let it be a precautionary thing.
I hope Sam is LeCure for what is ailing us.
I believe in ya Sam.
If you replace Cueto he can't pitch until the World Series, at the earliest.
Bring Latos in next inning, move everybody up or let Cueto pitch game 3.
"The LeCure Game"
You sure Cueto was crying? I missed it.
Also, IF Cueto goes on the "disabled list" now he will be out for the NLCS.
Ok lets speculate a little here.
Arroyo game 2
Latos game 3
Bailey game 4
Arroyo on three days rest for game 5 if necessary.
Leake back for NLCS.
Cards get endless gifts last night and reds lose their ace after 5 pitches.
I hate sports.
I truly, while devastated about Johnny, have faith in LeCure. I really think he steps up huge here.
Friggin Pagan! Just get in the damn box and hit!
Sometimes I'm like my Dad. He always said the Reds were "snake-bit."
LeCure has a no-hitter so far.
I have confidence in Dusty and the pitching staff to get the Reds through this.
Sam is a terrific reliever right now and I agree with the decision to use him.
Just need to score some runs.
Injuries happen, there's no crying in baseball, let's get a win.

might need a few more of these tonight, Moosehead.
Did it look to you guys that Cueto was ready to continue the inning, the trainer agreed, and Dusty made the final decision?
I think Dusty is just being cautious.
The thing is, they CAN'T spend the entire bullpen on this game AND lose it. They simply can't.
