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

[/ QUOTE ]
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.

[/ QUOTE ]

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?


[/ QUOTE ]
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.

[/ QUOTE ]

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

Moyer last 4 starts, 2 home 2 away:
5+ ip, 0 E.run, 5 hits, 0 W, 6 Ks
5+ ip, 6 runs [smallest strike zone evah]
6 ip, 1 run
7 ip, 2 runs, 4 hits
~ 3.42 ERA if I calculated correctly.

No, but his 6 run performance the start before that was. Eaton had a 7 inning shutout this year too.

Kind of a cherry-picked stat, since you conveniently used 4 instead of 3 or 5 (or 9 which would have really killed your case).

Whatever, Moyer is clearly a beast and I would rather him pitch than Kendrick on short rest. Kendrick is also a beast though.

I think it's close enough that Moyer starting on full rest won't make me a nervous wreck waiting for the pitcher to unravel at any moment.

Eaton on the other hand...

More like, Hamels blows out his arm before the game and out trots Eaton for Game 7 of the NLCS, which we promptly lose 28-3.

[/ QUOTE ]

Apparently not possible now, since he didn't make the roster.

I wouldnt have minded him out of the bullpen. Poor guy, he seems pretty nice and handled it well. Too bad he sucks.

Right-hander Kyle Lohse will pitch out of the bullpen in the first two games. If he isn't used in either one, Lohse (9-12) would likely start Game 3 and veteran lefty Jamie Moyer (14-12) would start Game 4, if it's necessary.


[/ QUOTE ] I don't like this. Leave Lohse as a starter. The part that bothers me is that I can see Manuel just blowing him in the seventh when he doesn't need to.
