Game 89: Second most LOB of the season

Not fooling anyone: Livan Hernandez (-24.6%) walks two and strikes out 4 in 5 IP, but gives up 5 ER, including both walked runners and a two-run double (-11.9%) that Nyjer Morgan misplays off the wall into a triple.
Rally killaz: Mike Morse (-19.6%) hits into an inning-ending, bases-loaded GDP (-11.7%), while Josh Willingham (-7.3%) and Ivan Rodriguez (-4.3%) strike out (-10.4%) and fly out (-10.2%), respectively, with the bases loaded to squelch a 7th-inning comeback.
Doing the job: Adam Dunn (+10.4%) is 3-5, including a comical, bases-loaded infield single that caroms off the pitcher for an RBI (+10.1%).
Steady: Doug Slaten (+1.9%) throws 2 scoreless in relief with a strike out.

Hopefully the second half

Sees a rotation that includes both Livan and El Duque Hernandez.

Why not us? Why not now?

In case anyone hasn't noticed:

Livan’s last 6 starts
38.2 IP, 47 H, 24 R/ER, 11 BB, 5.59 ERA, 1.50 WHIP

Last year’s Livan is back.

All of the different Livos are going to get a chance in the 2nd half

Because, as I’ve outlined in another thread, there’s not really a viable alternative at this point that isn’t likely to cost the team more games than Livo. While his last couple of weeks weren’t as good as his first couple of months, there’s no better alternative making a case for getting in the door right now – and even if there were, they’d be pushing Stammen and possibly Atilano out of the rotation before Livo.
