Well, with Miller in the bullpen, it gives us a 2-3 inning Long Relief Pitcher when our starters can't go long. If we can get solid outings from our top 3 Ps, we'll be just fine.

Wait, Miller's in the bullpen? So who's the #5 starter then? Or is the schedule just set up that we won't need a #5 for a while?

We're going with a 4-man rotation to open up, and then after only Freddi knows.

It's Nolasco-Johnson-Volstad-Sanchez and more than likely Miller for that 5th spot, but it's still up in the air.

our 4 starters should be fine with out an extra day off...

i think last years innings pitched is decieving bc freddy was very quick to pull a guy after the mess garidi created by letting kids complete games like it was going out of style...

big surprise all those guys missed time as a result..

tough day for cody, nice win, dont know if we can play like that and win against non-nationals teams..

cant wait for this weekend....were going to see the best of what the mets having to offer as far as pitching. a really good test.
