September 13, 201313 yr Knowing how tough those 6 games against the Pirates are likely to be... I think the Reds have to come out no worse than 7-2 in their games against the Brewers, Astros and Mets...if they want any chance at the division. Can't afford to give away games against weaker opponents.
September 13, 201313 yr If you're the Reds do you tweak the rotation during the Houston series, so you can line up Latos, Bailey, and Arroyo against Pittsburgh next weekend?
September 13, 201313 yr If you're the Reds do you tweak the rotation during the Houston series, so you can line up Latos, Bailey, and Arroyo against Pittsburgh next weekend? Most important thing would be to end up with Latos in the Wildcard game. I wouldn't change it other than that. I think as of now he is on schedule for it.
September 13, 201313 yr Most important thing would be to end up with Latos in the Wildcard game. I wouldn't change it other than that. I think as of now he is on schedule for it. If I'm caluclating it right, if they switch it up in the Astros series to where he starts next Friday against Pittsburgh, he'll be on normal rest for the one game playoff. Otherwise, he'd be pitching the 2nd to last game of the regular season.
September 13, 201313 yr Will be interesting to see how they handle the rotation with a.) Cingrani's uncertain status and b.) two more "off" days in the final couple of weeks.
September 13, 201313 yr I think once the division is out of the question, they have to set it up for Latos to pitch WC game.
September 13, 201313 yr I think once the division is out of the question, they have to set it up for Latos to pitch WC game. Possibly. But, here's another kicker...would you give up Latos' spot in the rotation (to save him for the WC game), with home-field advantage still up in the air?

September 14, 201313 yr Just like last Friday, the Reds give up two in the first. Comeback in the top of the 2nd, bases loaded nobody out...score 1. Heading to bottom of 2nd...Brew Crew up 2-1.
September 14, 201313 yr Don't look now, but a loss tonight could trim the WC to 4.5 with the Nats winning big. It was 8 on Monday.

September 14, 201313 yr Some really bad luck for Latos tonight. Freakin' bloop hits tonight have killed him. Of course, he's not benefiting from the Reds offense either. Wonder if they remembered to pack the bats for the road trip?
