Interested lineup against Dempster. I'm guessing Gomez has better numbers against him than Morgan. Sucks that Ramirez is still out.

[logan82]

Gomez leading off in CF against a RHP. Nice job DPR.

[Funketown]

Ugh. I think I'm already getting sick of my new stance as a Roenicke apologist. This is brutal.

[DocLuna7]

DPR?

[PrinceEatMeat]

Apparently Morgan is 0-17 against Dempster in his career, which is likely why Gomez is starting. Either way, he shouldn't be leading off.

Green ahead of Weeks in the lineup is rather interesting as well. It would be nice if Green had a game to try and force the issue for more PT a 3-3 with a HR, 2B and a BB sort of thing.

Weeks now hits 6th

[pebadger]

Isn't the bunter supposed to hit second?

DPR?

Don't ask. You'll facepalm when you find out.

[dlk9s]

Sweet. The game is on WGN so I can watch. That was nice turning on the TV and seeing Milwaukee.

[rluzinski]

The Gomez start against a righty is embarrassing on a number of levels. Relying on small sample batter vs pitcher data, batting a guy with a miserably bad obp leadoff even without the platoon advantage. I know RR has a crush on Gomez but this is just insane.

 

And doesn't Weeks and Gomez have the same OBP this year anyway?

[markedman5]

Way to go Yo.........

[Raw Biz]

Walks continuing to kill Yo. He has the stuff, I wish he would just challenge hitters more instead of nibbling so much.

[Funketown]

Actually I'm oblivious to this as well. Double Play Range (Yuni?). Double Play Ron? NSFW?

[cnycerveceros]

I can't watch Randy Wolf, but I think Gallardo is the most frustrating starter.

[TURBO]

DPR?

 

I also have no clue what this means.

[Raw Biz]

It's dumb and better to just not know. But it is a reference to Roenicke.

[Raw Biz]

I know there's a lot of season left but I just don't have confidence in this team. I say they start looking to trade at least Greinke in the next few weeks to see if they can get more of a haul than they would at the end of July. Teams would probably be willing to give up a little more to get that extra month's worth of starts.

[markedman5]

Isn't this supposed to be the easy part of the schedule when we get back into the race?

 

Seems it doesn't matter who we play....we stink against pretty much everybody other then the Dodgers.

 

Dempster dominating as usual......

[topper09er]

When was the last time we had a catcher who even thought about throwing behind the runner at first? Matheny?

[markedman5]

Cubs have lost 12 in a row on the road.......How bad are we?

[TURBO]

Getting no-hit by the Cubs will be a fine way to remember this season.

 

Just icing on the cake.

[markedman5]

At least Yo has 10 strike outs......so what if he has given up 5 runs in 5 innings to a team that struggles to score?

[AZBrewCrew]

Who's pitching for the Cubs tonight? Cy Young? He always dominates the Brewers
