Ok IDK why people rip on Ned Yost for leaving his pitchers in there to get out of thier own problems, and trying to save the pen for later in the year. I know you said that we could have a 4 person rotation for the 6th inning but what about the 7th, 8th, and 9th? With 74 games left, if Ned did decide to do this and relieve his SP in the 6th, that would be 296 Innings for the pen and thats a hell of a lot of innings for that pen in that short of a stretch. It just irkes me when people complain about Ned doing his job. He probably has more knowledge about baseball and more importantly about the team then we as fans. And finally a question for the OP if the SP is pitching good, lets say they are at 5IP 2ER and had a 123 in the 5th are you still gonna take him out in the 6th inning because some of our SP struggle with that inning? Sorry about my rant, it ends with I would like to see Vargas go to the pen because hes the biggest culprete(sp?) about this. I believe he hasnt gotten to the 7th inning at all this year, so I would like him in the pen and give Villy the 5th spot.
