I'm mostly concerned about Morrow, I've always thought he was a 3 or 4 at best, he went through Seattle today, lets see what he does next 2 starts. the new revamped bullpen, haven't given up hope on it, but Janssen and Oliver (whats up moon  ) have been terrible.
Losing 5/6 to Baltimore, will proably come back to haunt. |
Where to begin.....
How in the world has Darren Oliver been deemed to have been terrible?! He's walked one batter and allowed 2 runs. (Moon wasn't the one that didn't like Oliver)
In 85 games since the 2011 all-star break, Encarnacion is batting .294 with 17 homers, 55 RBIs and a .370 OBP. So the "he only hit well during the last month of the season" storyline sure doesn't work.
Save me the, because it's his old team it was easy for Morrow to throw 6 shutout innings and 9 K's. Not sure why you are wooried about Morrow, at the very worst he is still a good #3-#4 starter as you said. In 5 starts he's had one bad one, an average one and 3 VERY good ones, and this is while still adjusting his mechanics.
