July 4, 200719 yr Author Why? So we can lose faster? Change it up a bit, that's why. How can we lose faster? Time doesn't go faster because of a pitching rotation.
July 4, 200719 yr nope , really as depressing as this is too admit with the exception of Mitre who has been our ace 2-5 there is little difference in terms of performance so why risk injury by allowing 4 guys to rack up innings
July 4, 200719 yr Author Maybe if our pitchers pitched more innings on less rest, they would do better....stay looser and maybe keep more precise on the mound.

July 4, 200719 yr Why? So we can lose faster? Change it up a bit, that's why. How can we lose faster? Time doesn't go faster because of a pitching rotation. Well, since they can't go 7 innings on regular rest, I'd assume short rest means we're competitively eliminated from every game by the 4th inning.
July 4, 200719 yr Author Well, since they can't go 7 innings on regular rest, I'd assume short rest means we're competitively eliminated from every game by the 4th inning. What if the shorter rest had them looser and they built the resistance to go further?

July 4, 200719 yr I think it'd be a good idea, but pitch counts have to be strictly monitored. The whole theory is that you're taking your worst pitcher out of the equation and giving your best pitcher more starts. I definitely think it's worth a shot.
July 4, 200719 yr None of our starters are pitching worth a crap right now. No reason to make it worse.
July 4, 200719 yr Would be fun to try for a while. Thoughts? 1. Willis 2. Mitre 3. Olsen 4. Kim I hate the way Fredi handles the rotation and the bullpen as it is, let alone having to handle a 4 man rotation
July 4, 200719 yr Isn't the whole idea of pitching Johnson every five days to get him back to form ASAP? His pitches looked much better and (while not the result) he seemed more confident last game. One would only go to a four man rotation (as described) if Johnson was out of the picture which I would think is not something people here want to see.
July 4, 200719 yr None of our starters are pitching worth a crap right now. No reason to make it worse. Huh? Have you watched Mitre and Willis last few starts?
