Lets get it!

I wish Latos was going in game two instead of game three, though.

I guess it will be Bum in game two, and Timmy in game three?

Nobody knows at this point. Can't believe Latos isn't pitching at AT&T.

 

[TheGodFresco]

Hopefully we get the first 2 at home, then take game 3 or 4 at CIN.

Lets do it Giants

in MVPosey i trust

Dusty is trying to mix it up go power with Cueto, finesse with Arroyo and power with Latos. Plus, Arroyo pitching in SF is much better for them than him in Cincy (even though he was pretty good there this year).

Toughest series to pick for me. I think Votto being able to start driving the ball or not will be the key. I lean SF in 5.

 

[dmxfury]

Latos should pitch game 2

I see the strategy, but Latos' numbers at AT&T are filthy.

Giants need to take both home games. Cueto has good numbers against the Giants. However, he does struggle in night games for some reason.

Cueto may go on short rest instead of Homer...especially at GASP

Possibly, It's amazing how bad Homer is at home.

 

[Clyde Frog]

Keep it going NL Central.

 

[lightweight champion]

Dusty still doesn't know how to use his pitchers?

I will NEVER forgive Dusty for starting fat **** Livan for game 7

 

[ooiron manoo]

Go Reds!!!

^Go back to the college football thread my dude.

 

[srvballer]

Best of 5 series always scare me. Game 1 is crucial x10

More like giving the game ball away before the game was done.

 

[lazyj10]

Hellz to the yaz.

CRAZY weekend coming up in the Bay...let's get it boys.

 

[rawex5]

Weather should cool down this weekend, so the ballpark should play as usual.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

at the dodger fan. 250 million $ later and their spectators just like us

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

I like Cincy to win this series in 4.

 

[lightweight champion]

$263 million if you wanna crunch numbers

 

[lightweight champion]

And let's not forget that this happened earlier this season

 

[wildkycat]

Vogelsong... yeah, he meant to hit you with an 84 mile an hour breaking ball in a 2-2 game.

Homer Bailey will pitch game 4. I like the Cueto/Arroyo/Latos set-up... like Pro said, better to have Bronson pitch there than GABP. Dusty set the rotation up this way a few weeks ago.

hate this 2 away then 3 at home bs, but whatever... can't wait.

 

[danikerhino]

Can't wait. Hope our hitting stays hot and our bullpen holds it down. I think we should be able to beat the Reds if we play like we have been in August and September.
