Cueto, Arroyo, Latos to start first three of NLDS
Quote:
The Reds don't yet have an opponent for the National League Division Series, but they have a rotation set.
Not surprising is that Johnny Cueto will start Game 1, followed by Bronson Arroyo in Game 2 and Mat Latos in Game 3.
"We've been planning this for a while. It didn't take a genius to see how we planned it," Baker said on Tuesday. "What you see is what it is right now."
It appears that Homer Bailey, who threw a no-hitter vs. the Pirates on Friday, might not get a NLDS start. Baker was asked if he would use a fourth starter, if needed.
"We're not sure about that," Baker said. "Generally speaking, you only use three starters in the first round. We won't try to guess who's not [in], but that's a pretty good ace in the hole if you've got a guy getting hammered. You usually don't let guys stick around to get hammered. It's not like a regular-season game."
