Not that it matters with how the Cubs are playing but this started last year with the Cardinals missing the great starters more than 1/2 the time & it is the same so far.
Perfect example:
Angles series - Santiago (4.01 ERA), Shoemaker (9.15 ERA) & Weaver (4.72 ERA).
Dodgers series - Stripling (3.82 ERA), Kazmir (5.54 ERA) & Wood (4.58 ERA).
They missed the Angels ace due to TJ surgery coming up & they miss both Maeda & his 1.66 ERA AND Kershaw & his 2.nothing ERA..
The Cubs against the Padres (that came in 6 games under 500) we faced Vargas (1.1 ERA), Rea (3.82 ERA) & Pomeranz (2.12 ERA).
Amazing isn't it. Oh well, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger..
I just need to stop paying attention but the Pirates & the Cubs seem to hit 90% of the other teams aces every time.
Go Cubs!!

And they are still 9 games back. Shoemaker of the Angels gave up 4 earned runs in 4 innings last night to the Cardinals & his ERA didn't go up.. Of course he was 9.15 ERA already.. Who is pitching for the Angels tonight against the Cardinals, Pujols gonna give it a try?? Come on man... |

Now it's 6.80 - BUT even though he gave up 6 earned runs in 5 innings he still got a win yesterday against the toothless Angels 12 to 10. Now on to the Dodgers where they face the 3 starters with ERA's averaging 5.. Must be nice. |

It is getting a little ridiculous.They now miss Kershaw which is basically an automatic loss for the Cards.

Well let's now look at which Aces the Cardinals will miss this week - beginning Monday 5/15: In their next (3) games they miss the Ace of the Rockies, Tyler Chatwood 5-3 with a 3.20 ERA (4 games in Coors field) & every other Rockies starter is 4+ ERA.. In their (3) games in the next series against the Diamondbacks they miss (wait for it..) Greinke & Shelby Miller, their #1 & #2 starter.. Same old, same old... Man.. |

Not that it really matters. The Cards miss Bumgarner & Cain in the upcoming SF series.. Cain's overall stats aren't great but as of late he has been great - 1.71 ERA over his last 3 full games against good offensive teams (Blue Jay's, Diamondbacks & the Cubs). |

It is tough to complain this week since we are playing a four game series against LA and won't face Kershaw. |

Oh, I'm pumped that we finally miss an ace ourselves, we just don't seem to do so very often at all, much less once a week like the Cards have been.. We do get Maeda tomorrow & his 2.39 ERA which most likely won't be any fun at all.. |

And they are still 9 games back. OK.. We just missed Kershaw & Maeda in the Dodger series so we just had some of that "Cardinal luck" that I whine about AND we won't see Greinke this weekend. Nice.. Go Cubs!! |

I think this is like poker. We all remember when someone gets lucky but forget when we get lucky. It's a long year we missed Aces many times.

Yes, as I've stated before, over a 5 year time span I believe it all evens out but if you look at last year & the first 2 months of this year the Cardinals had this type of "luck" where the Pirates & the Cubs during that same time span didn't.. |
