What has 5 Heads, 10 Arms and a 5.89 ERA?

No it is not Alfonseca... though he does have 11 fingers, see the picture on the right...

Here are some quick calculations after Sunday's Loss...

Phillies' Starters Statistics:

Record: 1-3
K/BB Ratio: 2.58 to 1 (31 Ks, 12 walks)
Innings Pitched: 35.1
Earned Runs: 23
ERA: 5.89
8 Homeruns allowed... 1 every 4.4 innings.

They are averaging about 5.85 innings per outing with a K/BB ratio of 2.6 to 1. So what is the problem?

1 and 3 with a 5.89 ERA. Something is wrong here. This was supposed to be one of the deepest rotations in the league...

To date Cole Hamels and Jaime Moyer have done their job. Maybe we need more lefties... We need Garcia and Lieber to come back... fast.

Patience... I will show some patience. But hurry up and get good guys.. the Mets are pulling away.
