You'd probably bet more on Houston tying it up and then the Reds coming back to win it. Lately, that's been the Reds' modus operandi. As unhittable as Graves and Williamson can be at times, they aren't Dennis Eckersley or Randy Myers or Bruce Sutter in their primes. And as good as Scott Sullivan and Dennis Reyes have been, they aren't quite as strong with a lead as were setup men Rob Dibble and Norm Charlton in 1990. Reds pitching coach Don Gullett believes his boys can do it, but heck, he doesn't know it for absolutely sure.
Nobody knows for sure.
Gullett doesn't talk about Graves' consistency and Williamson's fragility as though they are serious issues. He talks about consistency being something that is gained through maturity and experience. As for Scott, he'll get it back. He'll get it figured out. The mental focus, the Adrenalin and all the other factors that go into a pennant race will bring it out of him.
