chatwood vs. Ray in the series opener. Must win series. I know it's early but we can't lose two series to the Rockies at home in the first month.
During games that Chris Herrmann started, the starting pitchers have the following performances:
4/2/16 Corbin 7 inn. 4 ER
4/10/16 Miller 5 inn. 5 ER
4/14/16 Ray 6.1 inn. 2 ER
4/17/16 Corbin 6.2 inn. 1 ER
4/21/16 Miller 2 inn. 2 ER, Wagner came in and pitched 5 inn. 0 ER
4/23/16 De La Rosa 6 inn. 1 ER
4/28/16 De La Rosa 7 inn. 0 ER
I do not think this is a coincidence. There was a national article written before the season that I saw about how Castillo is not a good pitch framer and leaves a lot to be desired from a catching standpoint. This is enough of a sample size for me at least to see that the pitchers have pitched far better when Herrmann is catching.
I don't think Ziegler should have been out there yet. He's the closer and the game wasn't in a save situation. Probably through him off.
