In an ominous enviornment when things broke horribly for you producing the matchup that Moyer had tonight - that's when you call "Your Guy" and lay a couple of bones down on the BoSox -150 to do a little "hedging" to calm your fears!
It doesn't save your staff any, but you'd walk away feeling a little better (and smarter!) knowing you called the outcome once you saw Moyer got pushed back to face Boston!
I know this doesn't help any. I loathe the helpless feeling one gets when taking that kind of pounding. I own Johan and hollered at Manuel for an inning and a half before the bastard finally yanked him only after he gave up 10er in 3IP vs. the Phillies on that Sunday night game earlier this season.
thanks for the refreshing post. you are right, gambling on the game would have been one way to hedge. unfortunately, i don't have "a guy", and i don't gamble unless i'm in vegas and even then it's rare for me to do. gambling isn't in my blood. i look for more skill-type games to invest my time/money into.
thanks again for the post.

If the NFBC allowed pitching changes on Friday, like they allow hitting changes on Friday, some of the "luck" might be removed, when weather, injuries, matchups, etc. affect a pitching strategy determined on the previous Sunday.

something to think about for next year

A good friend in our home league of 15 teams had the following four pitchers active this week:
Moyer
Shields
Blanton
Wandy Rodriguez
That has to be the worst 4 game stretch in the history of our league.

I wouldn't beat yourself up over this one too much. He was good enough for you to play over a two start Padilla week one, so he probably was good enough to start in this spot also.
