Great outing by Ortiz today--6 IP, 1 H, 0 R--against the Reds. Other than Wandy and Backe (who's sure to be released) our Starting Pitching has been solid. I'd be happy with a rotation of Roy, Hampton, Ortiz, Moehler and Cappellan.
Yeah, the Astros and their shaky pitching really need to take out a starter with a 3.54 ERA in actual games for a couple of retreads who haven't been good in the last five years, all because of an uneven spring training. Come on.
You forgot the important part. The Astros actually won today. Again, I know it's only ST, but I haven't been able to say that for 3 weeks.
Definitely. Taking Wandy out for one of Ortiz/Capellan/Moehler would just be ridiculous. That's the rotation I would probably go with as well.
Ed, is that you? Unless your name is Ed Wade or Cecil Cooper, you don't really know that. You may very well end up being right, but the rotation that I named above is really the better rotation.
Bit of a crappy lineup today. Capellan gets a chance to stake his claim, while gusy like Michaels, Newhan, Maysonet get starts.
do you not have any common sense? i guess if i'm ed wade or cecil cooper, i don't really know that lance berkman is our starting 1B, and i don't know that roy oswalt will make the rotation either. moehler was signed to an extension to be a starter this year, and he has a 1.64 era this spring. what lines are there that need to be read between? you want to trade emails and i'll give you 5-1, you name the amount of the bet?
Capellan playing himself out of the rotation here. Given up 4 already through 4 innings and now given up a triple. Could be another one of those 12-1 games
5 runs in one inning again ffs, why does this happen in nearly every game. When was the last time we had a big inning like that of our own???
Even with the 5 runs in 5 innings today, Capellan has a 3.07 ERA this spring. This guy has to be a factor in the rotation at some point.
The Stros have some of their long-shot relief pitchers really step it up in ST. Fulchino 2.61 ERA in 10.0 IP Paronto 0.93 ERA in 9.2 IP Arias 0.00 ERA in 6.1 IP Only problem is, our bully is so set that there is no place to put them. Our bullpen doesn't have alot of big names, but it's deep and reliable. It could be a big reason why we content this year.
