Baez still needs to earn any playing time against RHP, even if Heyward moves to CF.

Lester has only started on 3 days rest twice in his career, most recently 5 years ago. 9/28/11: 6 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 5/4 K/BB, 1 HR - Previous outing was 2.2 IP and 55 pitches 4/23/08: 5 IP, 9 H, 4 ER, 1/2 K/BB, 2 HR - Previous outing was 6.1 IP and 106 pitches Given the strength and depth of the bullpen, I would rather they start Lackey and aggressively pull him after one trip through the order than start Lester on 3 days rest.

That's the first crying Jordan that I've laughed at in a long time, maybe ever

You could at least include a carrot.

I'm sorry I've just been told that the Cubs won the series in an EVEN number of games. Northsidebaseball regrets the error.

POUR IT ON

I just now realized we double switched Fowler out of the game and not Heyward.
-
Law may never be more than a middle reliever, but he'll always have an endorsement deal waiting for him.
-
why are you double switching Soler into the game, if you want to pinch hit for Heyward just do it after he plays defense
-
Worse. Zobrist shouldn't start game 5 I say this in the gentlest way possible, you have made a lot of very bad posts today.
-
why on earth would they let Moore hit
-
okay, 3rd time thru the order on Moore plus a tired pen, go to work
-
The Cubs are 1 for 11 with a sac fly and a HR
-
The Giants are 10 for 19 on balls in play today, plus 2 sac flies
-
If we're pulling Zobrist for Almora then I'm going to have to retire to the angrydome for the rest of the evening. I was looking at it as having Soler PHing behind Rizzo Not as bad, but also very bad

I want a lead and Moore over 70 pitches heading into the bottom of the 4th. Do that and you'll win.

There weren't exactly a lot of pinch hit opportunities by the time Montomery took the mound, and Edwards was the last available reliever. But I do think that our bench features enough pop that Joe should consider replacing LaStella or Coghlan with a fresh arm. Though I'd go with Joe Smith, who was absolutely phenomenal after returning from the DL. We got through 12 innings despite using 5 of our relievers(including one who could be a long-man)for a combined 2 innings. We don't need an 8th reliever. I'm open to the argument that taking Hammel as a long reliever frees up Montgomery to be used to slay lefties, which is a feature for all the NL teams. I'm also perfectly comfortable with all our RHRP facing lefties too, but there's value in putting the hitter at his platoon disadvantage.
-
Someone on Twitter last night noted that he took a knee to the head on the double play, so that could be a factor. More likely I think it's Joe optimizing for defense since with a worse SP he has more slack(plus as noted Ross has killed LHP this year anyway).
