CHICAGO -- Josh Smith may not have much experience as a starting pitcher but at
least the right-hander has been called on frequently between stints with
Triple-A Louisville and the Cincinnati Reds.
Piumini Moncler

when Smith makes his 30th appearance and first start of the season on Tuesday
against the Chicago Cubs.Price could have considered some others for a starting
slot -- including candidates called up earlier this month from Triple-A
Iowa.(But) were so far removed from the Triple-A season, he said. It ended on
September 5. It is hard to ask guys to pitch when they havent had activity for
two weeks.Smith (3-1, 4.97 ERA) will become the Reds 15th different starting
pitcher this season and he faces Cubs left-hander Jon Lester (17-4, 2.40 ERA) in
the second in a three-game series at Wrigley Field.Smith has had seven career
starts -- all in 2005 -- as he went 0-4 with three no-decisions and a 6.82 ERA.
Hes 0-1 with a 6.00 ERA in three career appearances against Chicago.As Smith is
set to step in, the Reds could be poised to shut down a mainstay for the rest of
the season.Right-hander Homer Bailey reportedly continues to deal with a sore
right biceps and skipped a scheduled bullpen late last week. He has struggled
through parts of six starts since returning from Tommy John surgery.We have the
right to shut him down, we have not made that decision yet, Price told
reporters. Until we do, you can anticipate that perhaps he may pitch again this
year.Reds right-hander Robert Stephenson (2-1, 4.97 ERA) works the series finale
on Wednesday against Cubs right-hander John Lackey (9-8, 3.42 ERA).Lester makes
his 30th start of the season, hitting that milestone for the ninth straight
season. In his last start on Sept. 14 at St. Louis, he worked eight scoreless
innings in a 7-0 Cubs triumph while extending his winning streak to eight
games.Hes 2-0 with a 3.02 ERA in seven career starts against Cincinnati and is
1-0 in three starts against the Reds this season.Jonny is on a good roll, Maddon
told reporters earlier this month. Ive seen him like this in Boston. Right now
as a Cub, this is the best Ive seen his stuff consistently.While the Reds are
winding down and looking to 2017, the Cubs are concentrating on some unfinished
business and the upcoming National League playoffs.We have a unique opportunity
right now for the next two weeks, Maddon said on Monday. The biggest thing we
have left to do is to clinch the best record and that would ensure home field
and hopefully secure 100 wins at some point.Clinching the division crown so
early has also given the Cubs some options to rest starters and the opportunity
to meet and leisurely ponder their postseason roster.Maddon said those
discussions are starting this week.
