I think I'd rather see Moyer pitching than everyone pitching on short rest.

I'll take Hamels on 3 days rest and Kendrick in game 5 with full rest, but apparently I'm not nearly as high on Moyer as you guys. Don't have much confidence in a 44 year old pitcher after a 200 inning season who doesn't break 80.

So, when he was 39 and did the same thing and didn't break 80mph and went 3-0 in the playoffs, you'd have made the same argument, right? No way Moyer goes 3-0?? Or even 1-0?

Five years ago his ERA was over a run and a half better than this year. His fastball was probably 10 miles faster, since he was throwing in the low-mid 80s as recently as last year. Looking at how his ERA has skyrocketed and his velocity fallen over the course of this season, it's not a stretch to conclude that he is too worn out to be successful anymore.

I guess his 1-run, 0 w, 6 K performance on Sunday, worn out with no velocity and a 'skyrocketing' ERA was unsuccessful then.
