Blanton has done alright in the playoffs so far.
Moyer is being hit like crazy. I dont know how I feel about him pitching in the WS, and as the phils rotation is now, Moyer would be our man if it comes down to Game 7.
I love what Moyer has brought to the team, he is a great Mentor to Cole and a great leader in the clubhouse, and he had an outstanding regular season for a 86 year old guy. When he retires (if he EVER does!) I really hope the Phils sign him as a bullpen coach.
I just am not comfortable with him pitching in the WS. When your playing the best of the best teams, they're gonna be able to hit this guy (as they have been). He just doesnt have the heat!
Do teams go to a 3 man rotation ever for the WS? I'd love to have Cole be able to pitch 3 times if need be.
With the current 4 man rotation, I'd like them to switch Meyers and Moyer so Moyer can pitch Game 2 and Meyers pitches Game 3. Moyer has a much better Away ERA than home, where Meyers has a much better Home ERA than Away... seems to make sense to switch em around.
