Gausman will be a reliever and hopefully help out if Johnson can fix him in time.  Wandy and Hernandez just stink.  I think the Reds will take 3/4 from Cubs but hopefully Bauer settles in and dominates.  IF the Reds can win today against the Angels and sweep the Cubs, they are .500 and likely within 3 or games out of first.  With this starting pitching, Reds have a chance.  The Bull pen makes me nervous.  Like Bengalfan74 said earlier, its like Hoover all over again.
