Rodrigo Lopez


4-4, 4.97

Lopez served up four homers over 5 1/3 innings in his last start against the Cards and also gave up 10 hits. The problem? He's a finesse pitcher who couldn't locate. Lopez has faced the Brewers twice this year, but both were in June and in relief.

Randy Wolf


10-8, 3.45

Wolf was on his way to a second straight gem before running into a heap of trouble in the seventh inning at Citi Field on Saturday. Before that, he'd worked eight innings in two consecutive starts. He's 5-10 against the Cubs.

Yeah, I tend to agree but it's too late to do anything about it now. Just hope and pray that Casey miraculously reverts to last years form and that Betancourt channels the tiny fragment of himself that knows how to hit.

 

I am crossing my fingers that when Weeks comes back they give Hairston some starts at SS.

I am more concerned at Yuni's defense. We dont even need them to contribute on offense, the problems are

 

1) Yuni is allowed to play SS defensively which I am very concerned about. When we face the Phillies we cant hope to be winning by 5 runs late, which means a Yuni error could cost us a game(s). I just hope we can get really lucky and the following hitter will GIDP to make up for Yuni's horrible defense/range.

 

2) Casey hits too far up in the order and will end up with several high leverage ABs. He will fail, no doubt about it, we just need to hope when he rolls over on an outside pitch for an easy GIDP the ball has eyes and luckily rolls into LF.

 

I would give Hairston starting at SS regularly about a 0% chance, even though it is the obvious move to at least throw him out there now and see what he has left in the tank.

Yep. These games against the Cubs almost feel like a no-win situation. If they win, they were supposed to. If they lose, you just get really frustrated losing to such a sorry bunch. In that case, even the Cards losing tonight would only soften the blow.
