We have two ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL starters. In fact, Fister has been much better lately than JV has (wow that's a fucking scary thing to say). As I said before, we've got only three good relievers, and only one of them can do middle relief. The rest of the pen is about as useful as dog shit at a wedding.
Scherzer is ok at home, near the top of the league in starts where he gives up 2 or less, but also near the "top" (bad) of the league in starts where he gives up 6+. But, he's generally much better at home, so maybe him starting Game 3 is not an auto-loss.... But then again, he gets his pitch count up quick and that means more bullpen arms come in, which is bad.
Sometimes I giggle when I look at the middle of our lineup. It's pretty good. Too bad we don't have a real leadoff man, nor a real #2 hitter.
