They finally have a good offensive showing last night, and they give up 11.
Moehler is the one starter in this rotation that I do not trust at all. He had a good spring training, but he has never shown that he can be a consistent starter.
I'm not a huge Russ Ortiz fan either, but I think he could be alright as the 5th starter.
I have some faith in Hampton. Just some.
But really? You can't score 8 runs and still lose the game. There is a huge problem there.
This is how I think the pitching staff should look:
Starters:
Roy Oswalt
Wandy Rodriguez
Mike Hampton
Chris Sampson
Russ Ortiz
With Moehler spot starting. If Backe ever comes back, he can take the 4 spot from Sampson, since Sampson is probably better used a reliever.
