Ike Davis' short HR burst tricked me....gotta bench him for this upcoming week. Unfortunately my other options don't look great:

Mat Gamel - plays 3 games at Petco then faces Lincecum and Bumgarner

Lucas Duda - will face at least 4 lefties (JA Happ, Wandy Rodriguez, Wade Miley, Patrick Corbin) ... he's 5 for 23 with 1 BB and 10 Ks against lefties this season...

Who do I start?

Chris Sale two starter next week. First start vs. Cleveland doesn't bother me but second start is @ Detroit. Thoughts?

Against the lefty heavy Indians I'm sure his numbers will be strong enough to off set whatever happens in Detroit.

Detroit hasnt been too difficult lately? I mean they have 2 great hitters and a bunch of meh

WDIS: Molina or CDavis?

 

[Wrigley]

Samardzija @ CIN?

Samardzija @ CIN?

I'd wait on that. I'd like to see him string at least two solid starts together before I trust him.

Nice line last nite for Sale. Only 88 pitches thrown; guess since they were up 7-1 after six innings they decided to pull him?Also, Sale is now SP eligible.

Is starting Fister this week fresh off the DL a gamble? Nice matchups - @SEA @OAK.

 

[Eephus]

If I'm sitting Latos or Kuroda, you should start them.

If I'm starting them, put them on your bench.

Sit Fister this week? (vs. NYY & @ BOS)

 

[shadyridr]

Who's the bench here? I only need to bench one.

Lewis vs ARI, HOU

Kennedy @TEX, @LAA

Norris @SF, @TEX

Matusz PIT

I hate benching double starts but Im think Norris is the bench here, right?

Kennedy....Kennedy might miss Tuesdays start because his wife is expecting any day.Marusz.....Might only be one start, but it's PITLewis is a must start.

 

[shadyridr]

I think you're right, I'd be very surprised if Norris doesn't get lit up at Texas. Depending on league format I'd ultimately lean towards benching Matusz though, I'm least confident in his abilities by a lot.

What to do with Kershaw with this being week 1 of playoffs?

What to do with Kershaw with this being week 1 of playoffs?

I read that he's expected to go sometime this week, so it depends on alternatives but I'd lean towards starting him.

I read if he is okay Kershaw is slated to start tomorrow @ Ariz and Sunday vs. STL.I will probably leave him active. Though I could throw in Dan Straily who is slated to go tomorrow @ LAA and Sunday vs. BAL.
