Lackey is next man up

according to the Cards website. Let's hope he gets the wide strike zone both teams were getting most of the time tonight.

Do you like our chances?

Yes, but I might have on my red glasses. I thought they might bring Garcia back if he's over his stomach issues. When he's on he gets lots of ground balls, those won't go 400ft or even in the basket no matter what the wind is doing.

This is just alarming to me that we go from having the best starting rotation in baseball to having one guy. Even if we win, where do we go from there? If Matheny believed in Lynn he would be starting tomorrow.

Has to be Garcia, he has always been better at home. I would think he'd be the only pitcher off limits for tomorrow. Lyons wouldn't bother me either, with Villanueva loose in the pen at all times if he gets in early trouble.

Do you believe in Lynn? I sure don't.

Garcia is the play here, if healthy. If not, then Lyons IMO. Lackey HAS to be saved for 5.

They said on Fox that Lackey is going game 4. Three days rest.

Lackey tomorrow and Waino game 5 for as long as he can go!! It's gut check time! Go Birds

Well, it was fun. He'll get lit up tomorrow.

I like the idea of starting waino for 3-4 innings in game five.

I agree totally.

Anytime me, Ducky, and NM agree on something we know there is no chance in hell it will hapen

I'll be shocked if he's there in the 5th. Fastball location always seems to be the issue on short rest. And the Baby Bears are hammering a bad fastball right now. Sheesh. I think he either gets rocked or tossed...or both. But sadly, at this point, he's the play...And I'd much rather see Waino for a few to start game five. I've seen enough of Garcia's head in arse syndrome in the playoffs to do me for a while. I'm sure his "stomach issue" was directly related to him not being able to breathe. Sorta funny that Yadi said after the game he didn't even know Garcia had an issue with his stomach. Interesting.

I agree totally.

The more you think about it, it makes a lot of sense because you have a decent chance of being able to pinch hit for him in the bottom of the third

Birds are saying, or so says Hochman, there is no way Waino starts game five. So, if they get there, I totally think it happens.

I don't understand why more teams in the NL don't consider pitching a playoff game before an off day with a ton of relievers. PH every at bat. Use long guys to get through innings 1-5 or so. It's usually a better option than your fourth starter.

If lackey goes 6 plus today, this is a viable game five option.

It appears Tyler Lyons is this year's forgotten man. Dude has been downright nasty since they called him back up and he doesn't even get in a game.
