June 23, 201412 yr Another series win for the good guys. They have been playing darn good baseball (other than Friday's fiasco) but have not made up any ground on the Brewers. Reds are going for their 9th win in last 12. Here are the series probables: Mon 8:05 Simon (10-3, 3.05) vs Samardzija (2-6, 2.60) Tues 8:05 Bailey (7-3, 4.68) vs Arrieta (3-1, 1.98) Weds 7:05 Latos (0-0, 3.86) vs Jackson (5-7, 5.12) Simon is going for his league leading 11th win. Strange fact: all three games will be night games at Wrigley.
June 23, 201412 yr LL55 is on a roll. If there was ever a better time to play the Cubs it is now. They can be 3 games above .500 after this series, that would be huge.
June 23, 201412 yr My concern in a playoff series, and I'm looking for opinions here please. If Cueto is our #1 does that mean meso sits for 3 games possibly? When do we start thinking about him catching Cueto? I think we can get in as a wildcard and be dangerous I would hate to see that hurt us.

Meso can't catch everyday during the season and Pena and Cueto have been awesome so for now I leave it alone. When you get into late August and IF the Reds are in the hunt for a playoff spot then you let Pena catch your #5 and move Meso to catch Cueto. That's what I would do.

Probably need Meso in the lineup more with the # 5 than Cueto

June 24, 201412 yr Samardja won't be in this game too long tonight, already has 45 pitches through 2.
