Normally when a team is slumping, you look to the next day’s starting pitcher to put a stop to the slide. It’s one of those things that people talk about when defining an ace. Well how much more can you ask for from a rotation that has put up these performances over the last 6 games?

When the team’s worst effort is a 4 run 5 1/3 inning performance against the Yankees, I think it’s safe to say the starters are doing their job. Unfortunately, the team has only won 2 of those games. (And in what is rough luck for the starters, Kenny Rogers was the only member of the rotation to pick up a win)
I guess it is time for the team to rely on something other than Big League Chew to generate offense.
