Yes they can. The fact that they've lost the first two games against Cincy doesn't give them any more of a chance tomorrow. Bailey is a stud pitcher and can go off for a huge game tomorrow without it being a surprise. He's still young though so he could easily get rocked as well.
Sabathia was absolutely terrible in his first start, so not sure I'd bet him tomorrow unless the juice is low, which I doubt it is.

Sabathia was terrible in his first start but he somehow came out of his six innings showing only two earned runs allowed. When you walk five and give up a hit an inning that is not a good outing. As someone mentioned he was bailed out by a line drive turning into a double play with the bases loaded and nobody out in a one run game. I was reading the preview of tomorrow's Reds/Milwaukee game and they said Sabathia's first start was outstanding or something to that effect. Hardly outstanding. I think Milwaukee will regret to have ever made this trade. He will not lead them to the world series. They have mortgaged their future for a half season. Not a good idea.
As someone else posted, the Milwaukee bullpen is terrible. Absolutely terrible. Why didn't Milwaukee go after bullpen help instead of another starter. Honestly, their starting pitching hasn't been that bad and they have an ace in Ben Sheets. But in this day and age of bullpen specialization and shorter outings from starters you have to have a solid bullpen. Laying 200+ with a bullpen as lousy as Milwaukee is risky to say the least.

i wouldnt say they traded away the future gamel & escobar among others are still @ nashville brewers have 1 of the best farm systems in baseball have for a few years now La Porta was expendable i still believe they will get some bullpen help however the 1 thing you forget CC is a workhorse he eats innings just like Sheets those 2 combined with Parra eat a lot of innings and masks the bullpens short comings McClung has thrown his last pitch as a starter this season C.C. will be fine today i believe he shuts down the reds just as he did less than a month ago June 27th 8 IP 4 H 0 ER 2 BB 11 K in a 6-0 Victory and he will be hailed with LETS GO CC :aktion033 LETS GO CC:aktion033 LETS GO CC:aktion033
To Say That Baily Is A "Stud" Pitcher
Really gives new definition to the term!! 12IP, 8+ ERA, 3SO, 10BB, 0-3. You were kidding RIGHT? Reds may win but it sure as hell won't be because Brewers are facing an ACE! Agree w/CA, IMO CC throws a 4 hitter. Square or not I'm all over Mil., ML & RL -1. Also tho it pains me have to take Bronx Bombers also, Tx & LAD. BOL to all. Only 45 days till KO thank God!!
