Amaro's job is to get the players - Chalie's is to use them in the best way to win games. <br /><br />Chalie is a loyal son of a bitch. It is going to be a tough decision for him to remove Moyer. <br /><br />The Phillies have 2 more off days this month and 2 in September - they may not need 5 starters, let alone 6 for the rest of the season.<br /><br />What would I do? I would give Pedro another minor league start, with a higher pitch count and see how he reacts. Section is right in that he has been good in his first 5 innings or so, before giving up multiple runs. Ideally, I want Moyer to pitch well on Sunday and pick my matchups going forward. If I skip his start, I'll be able to find a game where I can get him innings in a mop-up roll. Pedro could be an asset in the bullpen. He may even be better out of the bullpen.<br /><br />I'm not worried about playoff rosters yet.dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07569805225693572161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740761247940355610.post-56326304020150142332009-08-07T11:23:15.064-04:002009-08-07T11:23:15.064-04:00I have no faith in Pedro either.

I'm just saying give him a chance for one or two starts, if he doesn't get it done screw him.Namesakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456111527128851784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740761247940355610.post-42930026220669495772009-08-07T11:15:45.085-04:002009-08-07T11:15:45.085-04:00I would sit him for a start or two, but I am not s...I would sit him for a start or two, but I am not so sure that Pedro is gonna get it done either.

Moyer has though. He's proven to be one of the inconsistent pitchers in the NL. I would sit him down for a couple weeks and see what Pedro can do. I've been one of the most anti-Pedro people around, but at this point he can't be any worse than Moyer. I don't dislike Moyer, I just think if there is a better option the Phils have to go for it.Namesakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456111527128851784noreply@blogger.com
