Lewis in for another inning in a tied game – sheesh.

Is he approaching a career milestone in wins or something?

@Crafty: @Grey: Good advice Grey, doubt the young hitters in TB saw too many knuckleballers in the minors. Unless Charlie Hough's still pitching somewhere. Listen to this guy Crafty, he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

@Crafty: I usually don't spot start Wakefield because of the unpredictability of the knuckleball, but I'd go for Wakefield too. He dominates them.

Which one would you start tomorrow?
Harang v. STL
Francis v. SD (love the matchup, hate Coors)
Wakefield @ TB (great career numbers vs. TB)
Sanchez @ Ari

Currently leaning towards Wakefield.

@BigFatHippo: Yeah, they'll probably keep them. That makes sense. @drizzle21: Yes, go for Cruz.

@drizzle21: I agree with Shogun. I've talked on this site before about not starting Cain again. He's trouble waiting to happen.

Thanks.

I almost feel like I have to do something high risk, high reward to have a chance to pull out more than 1 pitching category.

On a totally unrelated note, do you think Adam Lind has cooled off enough to replace him with Nelson Cruz? Other OFs are Markakis, Braun, and Rios, so they’re all staying put unless big slumps hit.

@Grey: Yeah, I was thinkin Slowey but any of those guys may be kept unless their owners are idiots, they'll all be 5 dollars.

@drizzle21: I don’t like the Cain’s matchup against Haren, or the fact that Cain’s been atrocious his last few starts. He’s in the top ten on the sabermetricians’ “pitcher abuse index,” which basically means that Bochy has let him pitch until his arm got gangrene. I suspect he’s tired, or injured, and I wouldn’t start him the rest of the year unless you’re completely desperate.

@drizzle21: Don't start Cain.
