5/2 Brewers (Fiers) @ Cubs (Arrieta) - 1:20 pm CDT (CSN)

I fully expect to see Herrera and Lake starting tomorrow.

 

Oh c'mon, there's no reason to sit one of Russell, Castro, or Bryant for the light-hitting Herrera against a hittable pitcher when the wind figures to be blowing out again. Pretty much everyone looked bad today; Jonathan Herrera won't fix that.

Soler really needs a rest. Everyone else, no.

I don't think anyone really needs a rest. The young guys just need to keep playing every day and get their reps in. Let them continue to grind and figure out a way to get out of slumps while on the field.

I agree but madden seems to like resting rookies. I fully expect Bryant and Soler rep wit Herrera and lake tmrw.

Yeah, what's the point in letting Soler (or the others) sit? They already have off days and have already had days missed due to weather; unless you're worried he's going to get hurt I'd rather let him play through it. They're very young players and this definitely isn't going to be the only stretch where they struggle or go cold.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I feel like they have missed a lot of hittable pitches today. I hope that's a "that's baseball sometimes" thing and not something that indicates a problem.

 

Damn. I hope so, too.

 

Mike Fiers has been doing that for a few years now. Probably will for a few months more. He's Randy Wells.
