This is a clunker.
I have been on record since spring training that this rotation will not win a title. I actually thought McHugh would be better, but he's surrendered 24 earned runs in his last 18 innings pitched. I had zero hope for Miley and Peacock, but Miley's been good. Peacock has no business facing batters a third time, and maybe not a second. Cole's 4+ ERA won't carry us very far. Overall the rotation has underperformed.
The good news is that we have some help down at RR both on the mound and at the plate. I also expect Luhnow to make a move or two. It would also help if our MVP would start batting like one.
Season's still young. They'll get there.
