He's not ready
I'm taking about Gavin Floyd. Gavin Floyd is not ready to be in the big leagues. For those you who don't know what I'm talking about, Gavin Floyd is probably the biggest name in prospects in the Phillies farm system. People have just been waiting for this guy to get to big leagues. However, he debuted in April and got shelled. They sent him down to AAA, and he was a September call up, and started yesterday, and fair a little better, but it wasn't a spetacular outing.
I think the Phillies need to stick to the starters that got them to where they are. Messing around with these young guys could spell certain doom for the club and their chances at a post season. I think when you are in this close of a race, why overuse these guys just coming up. Every game is a pressure filled situation, and I just think it unfair to ask these guys to come up and produce.
Just my thoughts. I'm not completely shocked that the Phillies lost this series to the Nationals. The Phillies of old are rearing their ugly heads and it is tough see it. I fear this upcoming homestand. The Phillies are only 11-17 vs the Astros, Marlins, and Braves this season, so I'm sure you can see my concern. These next 10 games are critical because they are against tough competition and they are at HOME. The Phillies MUST use their homefield advantage to try to win these games. If they end up with a losing home series, any hopes of postseason will go up in smoke.
