Reds to start Leake in place of Cueto

 

With right-hander Johnny Cueto ruled out of Game 4 of the NLDS, the Cincinnati Reds have decided to start Mike Leake, a source told ESPN's Bob Holtzman on Wednesday.

Mat Latos had been an option to start against San Francisco Giants starter Barry Zito, but he pitched four innings of relief in Game 1. He replaced Cueto who threw just eight pitches before leaving with what initially was called back spasms but has since been described by the team as a mild right oblique strain.

 

Electing to start Leake means Cueto will be removed from the team's roster and can't return until the World Series, should the Reds advance that far.

I know Zito has had an amazing second half, but I'm still not sold on him being dominant in a must win game

 

I think he's gonna be real comfortable after the frist couple of innings. Our bats will come to play, pitching will just have to be decent from Zito.

Frazier is starting tonight, look out

 

But he isn't as good of a leader as Rolen!!! Good leaders in the lineup translate to wins, duh. #DustyBakerLogic

Reds woke up the Giants last night. Reds are now [expletive]ed.

 

Well, they only had 3 hits last night, and Zito is still pitching today, so I am not sure how "woken up" they are. But at least the series is semi-interesting now. Could get more interesting if they tee off on Leake today, as I suspect they will.

I don't understand how any organization can hire Dusty still. His teams succeed short term, and the pitchers' arms die a few years later.
