I think we need to reshuffle our rotation… it’s a mess… there’s no order…Can’t we fix it so that Myers starts after Hamels, then Moyer and Blanton, and Chan Ho after that (as the fifth guy)… It’s messy.. could this be a factor that helps explain why our starting pitchers are sucking?

The home runs aren’t what bother me, after all we do play in a bandbox. That ugly ERA though is killing me.

Edited. I wrote this up right after yesterday’s game, so wasn’t thinking the stats updated. They already had.

Myers today. Then Park, Moyer, Hamels, Blanton.

I agree with what you said the other day that the time is now to put Happ in the rotation. I believe he is the best candidate to ease the bleeding a bit. Of course the problem is that it is debatable which starter should get the axe. Park, Blanton, and Moyer are all equally struggling and Myers isn’t far above them. But the facts are the facts. Somebody has to take a back seat so Happ can start.
