Gallardo 5.05 (7) ??? What I found is a 4.20 ERA, including todays start. I'm geussing you just used his ERA for starts, but that doesn't sound right to me either. It'd be unfair to say he's sucked becuase he's been stellar before his shellacking today. (2.55 ERA, 47K in 53IP) Soup has been bad, but lately in his last 2 starts hes been very good. (12 IP 3 ER for a 2.25 ERA) Granted, thats an extremely small sample but it is a good sign. Vargas: Yup he's sucked. Bush: Since June 1 he does have a 4.35 ERA, which is alright, but add one more start on there and its 4.04, which is pretty good. So he's been solid for 2 months now. Cappy: Well, he hasn't pitched too well And Sheets has been great, and we can only hope for him to continue his success when he returns. But overall, I agree with you that the rotation as a whole needs to improve, but it's performed a little better than you made it out to be.
