The good news: Sheets only pitches once every five games. The bad news: we now have less flexibility to replace a faltering starter. Capuano has obviously tanked the last few weeks and Vargas is looking worse and worse (although, somehow he doesn't give up too many runs). Bush has been pitching well, but we all know he can get streaky, and Suppan was looking pretty bad until his last start. Sheets was the only guy you could look at in the rotation at this point and feel reasonably confident that he'd do well. Now we have to insert Gallardo into the rotation for him, giving us one less option to replace a different starter if necessary, as well as hurting the bullpen. As pessimistic as I may sound, I definitely think the Brewers can weather the storm if a couple of the shaky pitchers can right themselves. They don't have to pitch shutouts, just give the team a chance to win. That all said, it is time for the bats to step up. If we can start getting some offensive production again, we'll be fine.
