In spite of Wandy Rodriguez’s weak performance, I had a decent day yesterday.
Brian Roberts was a stat-stuffer for me yesterday, stealing a bag and hitting a bomb. Willie Taveras and Matt Holliday also stole bases for me to give me four steals and put me in first place in steals.
However, my WHIP continues to soar, since Wandy allowed 10 baserunners through 5 innings, but guys like Wandy are on waivers for a reason. They’re just not as proven and reliable as the Tim Hudsons of the world.
I don’t regret starting Wandy any more than I regret starting Dave Bush a couple days back. I mean Wandy was pitching in the midst of a hot streak, at home, where he’s been great, and against an offense that amassed only three hits in its last two games against the Angels this weekend.
I haven’t lost complete confidence in Wandy or Dave Bush. If they’re pitching in the right situation, I’ll go for it. The fact that they allowed 9 ER in 10 innings is pretty rough, especially since it means I need to go out there and pick starters up to try and gain some points back in the pitching rate cats.

To help me climb back into things, I’m pitching Ricky Nolasco against the Nats this afternoon. After doing so much research for Dave Bush and Wandy only to get no results in return, I decided to make a quick pick this time and see what happens. I just sorted today’s starters by how well they’ve pitched in the last month and picked the man atop the list (it made things easier when I saw that he was facing the Nats at home!).
