Macha just said that Rivera deserves to play and will be in the lineup tomorrow.

I don't know if it is accurate, but he also said that they are 6 games over .500 with Rivera, which would mean they are about 8 games under .500 with Kendall.

If they are going to make Hardy pay the price, then Kendall better be right there in the same boat. If you really don't have any answers on the pitching staff, you might as well try to outscore people.

I hope he gets an extended look and won't find himself on the bench, playing once every 10 days, if he goes 0-3 tomorrow.
