1. Jordy Mercer (R) SS

2. Austin Meadows (L) LF

3. Starling Marte (R) CF

4. Francisco Cervelli (R) C

5. David Freese (R) 3B

6. Josh Bell (S) 1B

7. Gregory Polanco (L) RF

8. Sean Rodriguez (R) 2B

9. Nick Kingham (R) P

Mercer leading off? Rodriguez playing instead of Harrison? Polanco playing instead of Dickerson. Obviously, Hurdle is not serious about winning. But when is he ever? At least Bell is dropped down to 6th. And it only took Hurdle 63 games to figure that out.

I think Hurdle is trying too much to start winning again. I don't mind the new line up attempt. Harrison is out because of a personal reason. Dickerson is better against lefties than Polanco.

Is Harrison even in Chicago? Playing another game without a full roster.

He was there yesterday. If it's only a game (or two) what do you do? Send him down? That would be a bold move and weaken the team for 8-10 days.

can't send him down but we have enough relievers that one could be sent down if someone is going to miss 3 games or more. For one or two you just go short handed.

Hoping that the personal matter is not an illness in his family.

Remember when the Pirates used to hit Lester?

Kingham pitching ok. Got to get him some runs.

Cervelli out of the game. Took a foul tip to the jaw.

Pirates are the 1962 Mets playing the 1927 Yankees when facing the Cubs.
