Look, all I'm saying is the rotation isn't up to par. If you all want to believe it is, great, but there is more than enough evidence out there to suggest it isn't.
-
That doesn't explain a paltry run differential.
-
Maybe we wouldn't of had to if we had better starting options and didn't have to use smoke and mirrors.
-
Except this is false. The Brewers have allowed 5 runs (or more) 21 times in 54 games. The Brewers are 8th out of 15 NL in team ERA at 4.33 So the "minimum" of 6 runs to win a game the majority of the time isn't really true. They've also given up the fifth most runs in the NL and have only a +14 run differential.

How about the month before? Are you willing to guarantee the same level of success next month with the same group? I mean, you can cherry pick a given month but that doesn't tell the whole story, Yes, six runs a game is hyperbole but let's not pretend this team isn't dependent on out hitting the other team to win. Sure, they have some success against lesser offenses but when they play good offenses this becomes glaringly clear. I'm not sure 13 games is a representative sample. Are you telling me they don't have a significantly better shot at beating the dodgers with a better rotation last year? Do you not recall the pitching kabuki they had to partake in against the Dodgers just to make it through. I'd say the lack of better starting options was absolutely their undoing unless you think the World Series is not the objective.

Preseason we were expected to contend for the postseason. We are currently contending for the postseason. So I guess lots of people thought we would end up like this. Even if you think Gio is a crap heap soft tosser (I personally think his career track record excludes him from any scrap heap talk), who are the other scrap heap soft tossers in our rotation? Plenty of prognosticators questioned this teams ability to contend, almost exclusively based on the lack of a quality rotation. Anderson was a throw in trade piece, Gonzalez was literally a scrap heap signing, Davies we got for Gerardo Parra and Chacin was a cheap sign. I highly doubt any one of those guys would return anything of value in a trade and collectively don't measure up to the Dodgers, Cubs, Philles or Braves just to name a few. They may be a contender for a playoff spot but they are not on par with those other teams when it comes to pitching. It isn't fair to continue to ask this lineup to score a minimum of six runs a game to win the majority of the time. Slice it how you want to, the starting pitching is weak and it's weak becuse they rely predominantly on marginal pitchers with little room for error.

Stunning, I know. Give him one more start but if he keeps this up you're going to have to try something different. The problem is, that is most of our rotation. Who would have guessed a rotation full of scrap heap soft tossers would end up like this.
-
Stunning, I know.
-
Making Gio look like a joke right now.
-
And not a darn thing will be done about it.
-
Maybe maybe not. Although they should have a better roster spending 50 million more than us on it. They look about $50 million better than us.
-
That's most of our bullpen.
-
We just don't have enough arm talent, plain an simple.
-
Trash
-
LoCain is just fearless out there.
-
Be patient. This game will be full of them.
-
Well folks, enjoy the rest of the game.
-
Very uninspiring considering they just had a day off.
-
Oh look, a Bucks game!
-
I'm already frustrated by this game.
-
Gray has been better than his ERA and W/L record indicate. Having said that, that Reds lineup is atrocious.
-
Anderson is going to be the odd man out. I just don't see any of the others being an option. Nelson is going to start and, yes, maybe they hold back Anderson as a back up in case Nelson struggles a bit at the beginning but there is no doubt Nelson is being prepped as a full time starter.

The family and I were at the both the Friday and Saturday games and listened to the Sunday game on the way out of town. They also were very clear that the bounce on the wild pitch was a very lucky bounce. Uncanny luck.
