August 10, 201016 yr Cardinals are doing it tomorrow. Do you think that's a bad choice for them as well? No, he has pitched very well against the Reds this season. Carp, Wainy, and a tough lefty that gives the Reds fits is the perfect triumverate.
August 10, 201016 yr Was anyone else remotely concerned with the Reds starting a rookie in game 1 of this very important series? I don't think it mattered who the Reds put on the mound tonight, they were probably going to lose. I think by saving our best two arms for game 2 & 3, it gives them the best chance to win the series.
August 10, 201016 yr You guys are unbelievable. It's been a long time since the club has been in 1st place 9 days into August. I for one am enjoying the season. This is a fun team to watch. Believe it or not, they will not win all of their remaining games. No reason to make such a big deal about it. Go Reds! It's a new MAL!!! :lol:
August 10, 201016 yr Cardinals are doing it tomorrow. Do you think that's a bad choice for them as well? That would be game 2, not 1. I think you go with your top gun in game 1 of a division series that's this tight. Just like the Cards did tonight. Game 1 sets the tone, starts the momentum imo.
August 10, 201016 yr It's a new MAL!!! :lol: At least when I moaned and groaned about them, they were horrible. No reason to complain about a good team that is winning. Makes no sense
August 10, 201016 yr He only had 16 career innings in '08... So 9 relief appearances and 1 start in 2010 make him a veteran??? Compared to a kid who was in college last year? He's a vet.

August 10, 201016 yr Compared to a kid who was in college last year? He's a vet. He's a strong contender for ROOKIE of the year...
August 10, 201016 yr One theory could be to use your struggling rook against the ace of the other team and then let 2 better pitchers go in games 2 and 3.

Believe it or not, they will not win all of their remaining games. No reason to make such a big deal about it. Go Reds! Don't take me there. Won't find a bigger Reds fan than me. Just would of liked to have seen the Reds set the tone throwing our ace out there tonight, no biggie.

August 10, 201016 yr One theory could be to use your struggling rook against the ace of the other team and then let 2 better pitchers go in games 2 and 3. Exactly. I'd take a 7-0 loss tonight with a 1-run win Tuesday and Wednesday lol.
August 10, 201016 yr You guys might think I'm crazy, but my 5 man rotation would be; Bailey, Wood, Cueto, Volquez and Arroyo. I can live without Harang and Leake right now.
