The bullpen has been pretty effective as well; Aroldis Chapman is a formidable weapon &8212; especially against the lefty-heavy Philly lineup &8212; and Arthur Rhodes should be useful in spots as well.Nick Masset was horrible in the beginning of the year, and speaking as someone who attended three Cincy games (experience!), Reds fans hated him then and may not have come around yet.He has been much improved, though, since that start.Travis replica Omega 2504.52 watch Wood and Homer Bailey will be pitching out of the pen as well, which gives the Reds useful multi-inning guys.The Bad: Well, you've probably noticed that I only mentioned two Reds starters in the good, and was kind of reserved in my praise for them anyway.
That's because I don't have much faith in the starters they're going to be running out there.If you're managing against a lineup like the Phillies, you're going to want Cueto to be more of a third starter than a guy you're going to rely heavily on, particularly if Volquez reverts back to his July form &8212; which is a real possibility.Bronson Arroyo isn't a y option, and while ordinarily that statement is followed with some bland plaudits, he isn't a y option because his 4.61 FIP shows that, well, he's not that good.He's kind of fun to replica Omega 321.12.42.50.01.001 watch, though; only 40% of his pitches are fastballs.Yes, that's the best praise I can find.And should the Reds move on to the NLCS, who's going to be the fourth starter? The diminutive (166 lbs) Travis Wood? The enigmatic Homer Bailey? Neither of those are particularly great options, you guys.
Roys &8216;r' Us.H2O.I know what you're thinking, and no, I'm not just spouting off the punnacious (well, it's a word now) appellation of a theoretical blues band headed by Roys Orbison and Rogers and recalling the title of one of the more ill-advised horror movie sequels to get greenlit.The Phillies, as if you didn't know, boast a replica Omega 95 1277.10 watch rotation headed by, if they wanted to be super-indie and also nickname Cole Hamels &8216;Trigger,' Trigger and Some Dudes Named Roy.And if you ever want to know why I'm not allowed to nickname people, like, ever, then you can just look back at that last sentence.The Good: Despite that last torturous paragraph, the good obviously begins with the best top three in baseball.
