October 9, 201213 yr Johnny Cueto's back spasm turned out to be a mild oblique strain. "He just showed up a little while ago," Dusty Baker said. "They said he's getting better, but we don't know what "better" is. So it's a question, I mean, that's a volatile area. You've seen the the obliques, sometimes they hang around for a while, and sometimes they don't hang around for a while. "We don't know the severity of it. He came in yesterday and got treatment all day long, so right now I would just be guessing to let you know how he is exactly right now. In a nutshell, we don't know."
October 9, 201213 yr Author So basically he's probably done. :cry: At least until the World Series I would think. Flotsam is dead to me.
October 9, 201213 yr Author I'd say he's done until the WS. No worries. Leake will get it done. So they have to make a decision today right?
October 9, 201213 yr So they have to make a decision today right? Would think so. I'd rather Leake go tomorrow and give Latos an extra day. Plus, Latos in game 5, if necessary.
October 9, 201213 yr Would think so. I'd rather Leake go tomorrow and give Latos an extra day. Plus, Latos in game 5, if necessary. I was under the assumption our 25 can change from series to series. Is that not correct? If so, I'd roll the dice so they don't lose Cueto for the WS if he's healthy by then.

If so, I'd roll the dice so they don't lose Cueto for the WS if he's healthy by then. That is true, but then you would have to go with both Latos in Game 4, and Arroyo in Game 5 on short rest if it went that far.

If you change in the middle of the division series the player has to sit out until the WS. Not sure about the middle of the championship series.
October 9, 201213 yr That is true, but then you would have to go with both Latos in Game 4, and Arroyo in Game 5 on short rest if it went that far. Latos on short rest after throwing on an off day, which I think was short rest too. And we saw the difference in Arroyo with an extra day off.
October 9, 201213 yr That is true, but then you would have to go with both Latos in Game 4, and Arroyo in Game 5 on short rest if it went that far. Thats a risk I'm willing to take for a chance to have Cueto on the hill game 1 of the WS. Hopefully it doesn't go that far.

You can change from series to series. So what PutMeInCoach is saying is to roll the dice on the Reds winning tonight, and then see how Cueto feels in a couple of days until the Reds have to submit their NLCS roster.
