I can't stand Jason Marquis.

That Troy Tulololololawski dude pinched hit in the 9th

Yeah, I didn't realize he was in the Reds rotation until last week. I can see how that is brutal.

I cannot think of the guy without thinking about him as a Cardinal. That, and he sucks.

I think he's played for nine teams now.

Two things about the Reds:

1.) I'm really sweating this Johhny Cueto elbow examination. That would be a kick to my fantasy team's balls if he needs Tommy John.
2.) I was watching Jason Marquis yesterday thinking about how it's an interesting phenomenon in baseball where these mediocre-to-below-average pitchers can have really nice long careers because it's such a specialized role that so few can do effectively.

Hutchison pitched a complete game 4-hitter last night. I don't think the Rockies have had a complete game for possibly seasons.

Tyler Matzek threw a complete game 2 or 3 hit shutout last September. Chad Bettic threw a very nice 8.1 2 run game just the other night. But yeah, for the most part our pitching is horrendous.

I just found the Matzek one. It was the only 9 inning shutout for the Rockies last year. Butler has a complete game on his stat sheet this year, but hasn't pitched more than 6 innings, so that must be one of the rain-shortened games.

Colorado has the highest ERA in the league by almost a half a run per game.

Yeah Butler pitched all of the 5+ inning game that was called for rain. I think Butler should go back down he's not ready yet. I loved what Bettis did the other night and that Hale kid pitched a pretty damn good game too. I want to see Matzek come back, he killed it in his last ten starts before the walk-a-thon that got him sent back down.

Butler is hot garbage. I don't even know what he's supposed to do well. He has shown absolutely nothing, and has had precisely zero flashes of competence.

All I've seen him do is get consistently destroyed. If there was ever any doubt as to what this franchise needs to do, it's way past time to blow it up and try to trade for actual established quality MLB pitchers.

It does have trouble developing them.

the park can contribute to that too though.
