As bad as RRR can be sometimes, you really have to question TLR. Jay and Patterson, the latter of whom has no business anywhere a major league starting lineup to begin with, are both lefties and starting against Wolf. Yet Berkman, a switch hitter, is riding the bench. Yeah, I know Berkman is not as good as a righty, but he has to be better than Patterson, especially against a LHP.

TLR is really mostly beyond reproach, though. All you have to do is look at his record. Berkman probably could use the day off, I guess.

According to mlb.com gamecast, Prince had a bad AB swinging at balls when Westbrook was struggling to throw strikes. So of course, Betancourt does the same. Sure is nice that he is actually hitting but it still is super frustrating that he doesn't really understand the value of a walk.

I was able to watch Prince's AB on MLB Network. He didn't swing at anything bad. The one he foul tipped may have been just off the plate and I suppose he probably shouldn't have swung at it, but it's not like he was flailing.

I really hope they don't move everyone up in the rotation. With as well as everyone's been going, I would think it would be best to let them keep rolling. (plus I was really looking forward to seeing Marcum on Sunday, haha).
