What worries me

[weams]

Left-hander Wei-Yin Chen hasn't gone more than 5 1/3 innings in his last three starts, allowing 11 runs and 20 hits over 13 2/3. He's surrendered 14 runs and 30 hits over 20 innings in his last four starts.

Miguel Gonzalez hasn't exceeded 5 1/3 innings in seven of his last nine starts. He's allowed eight runs and 15 hits over 8 2/3 innings in his last two outings.

And don't forget Ubaldo, he's been terrible lately.

Tillman and Gausman and pray for.....

I don't know...some other starter with a name ending in "-man"?

IMHO, our playoff chances hinge on two of Chen, Gonzalez, and Ubaldo pitching much better than they have recently.

That's like saying, "If we score more runs than the other team, we might win!"

All issue's of concern always said Chen IMHO was not a guy who held up well over full seasons.

It has to get better then that we've done OK against the lousy teams, but we we'll pay dearly when the good teams come calling if that pitching continues.

Chen had a 2.76 ERA after the ASB last year, averaging well over 6 IP per start. I'm not that worried about him. Gonzo worries me more, and Ubaldo worries me most.

Actually, it's more like saying that the offense, defense, and bullpen will be good enough to get us into the playoffs.

There is another off day next week. After that we play 20 straight with the next off day Thursday September 3rd. They will more than likely rotate a guy in and out the pen as needed to help soak up innings. As long as the starters are letting up 2 runs in 5.1/3 innings we can survive, we can't if it is 4 runs. Buck protects his pen well so he can use them this time of the year.

Huh? Career FIP:

1st half: 4.25

2nd half: 4.11

If one of the starters has problems, we can always go to Davies.

Oh, Wright.

Ubaldo is my biggest concern. Muggy and Chen will be okay, but you never know what you will get with him.

Gonzo has been bad for a really long time now, and there isn't much time left in the season.

Tillman and Kevin, then hope it pours from the heavens.
