Monday 7:05 - Tuesday 7:05 - Wednesday 1:20​

Tim Stauffer, RHP

Stats
0-1, 4.80 ERA

Stauffer pitched 4 1/3 innings in last start against the Reds, allowing two runs on six hits. He threw 99 pitches, 63 for strikes.

Carlos Zambrano, RHP

Stats
2-0, 6.11 ERA

Zambrano is riding a 10-game winning streak, dating back to last season. He's coming off a win over the Astros in his last start in which he gave up five runs on seven hits over 5 2/3 innings. His wins haven't been pretty, but they're still "W's."

Dustin Moseley, RHP

Stats
0-3, 1.83 ERA

What can you say about Moseley, who is 0-3 but has a 1.83 ERA? The Padres haven't scored a run for him in his three starts, though he's pitched well. That streak spans 19 2/3 innings. He got 15 ground-ball outs in his last start against the Astros.

James Russell, LHP

Stats
1-1, 7.20 ERA

In his first big league start on Aug. 12 at Houston, Russell couldn't last through two innings, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits in 1 2/3 innings. He'll be followed by Jeff Samardzija again as the Cubs try to fill Andrew Cashner's spot.

Aaron Harang, RHP

Stats
3-0, 1.50 ERA

Say this about Harang -- he's been remarkably consistant in his first season with the Padres. He's allowed one run over six innings in each of his first three starts. He struck out eight in his last start against the Astros on Friday.

Matt Garza, RHP

Stats
0-2, 6.27 ERA

All Garza needs is a little help from his teammates. The Cubs have been shut out in his last two starts. He pitched well enough vs. the Rockies, giving up five runs on seven hits over six innings. Garza now has fanned 25 over 18 2/3 innings.

Going to games 1 and 2. And it's snowing here in the city. Should be fun.

Winter baseball in the middle of April. Wonder if the game will be postponed due to the weather.

I wish Byrd would move down in the order and Fonzie and Soto would move up.

Would a Castro, Barney, Fonzie, Ramirez, Pena, Soto, Byrd, Kosuke, Zambrano lineup work?

At this moment.. better than having Byrd up so far

Although, now that I think about it, whenever Fonzie bats towards the top of the order, his productivity decreases by about 500%.

This team really needs a 3-hole hitter. Baker's a good choice against lefties, but as an everyday/ righty guy, we're seriously lacking there.

Is it just me or does there seem to be a lot more games on WCIU and CSN+ this year?

I wouldn't mind seeing Castro move to the three hole but not at the moment because things are going pretty good with him leading off, followed by Barney.

Barney is an early season surprise...hopefully he keeps it up.

Soriano is a perfect three hitter. As is Colvin. Bakers more of a two vs lefties.

Yeah, not sure what's going on with this. I wish they'd just stay with WGN and CSN (assuming the Hawks/ Bulls games don't interfere with playoffs).

****. I hate WCIU games.

Agreed. They're worse than games on ESPN.

I wouldn't mind seeing Castro move to the three hole but not at the moment because things are going pretty good with him leading off, followed by Barney.

I like Castro leading off. Hopefully he'll become a guy who can steal us some bases.

Soriano is a perfect three hitter. As is Colvin. Bakers more of a two vs lefties.

Fonzie was a perfect three hole hitter. He just not as productive down there anymore.

Colvin would be good against righties if he could start hitting, haha. But I'm sure that'll come as the season gets going.
