Owings has been solid recently. Very good outing vs. Arizona, good in relief against San Diego. Philly is a very tough lineup for anybody. Best offense in the league.

The mismanagement is a larger issue than today's performance anyway.

So, he's going on short rest for two straight starts. It's mismanagement of the staff, pure and simple.
Speaking of self-fulfilling prophecies...

His FIP has shown them all season. He's a walks machine.

Dobbs homers and the Phils lead 5-0 in the middle of the third.

Hopefully Owings can hit a 5-run Home Run in the 3rd to make up for his performance so far.

That sounds like a full four days off to me.
You're right -- my bad.

Hmmm, the best offense in the league beating up on our 5th starter after being held in check for 2 days. It must be Owings needing extra rest, eh?

Tom pointing out Blanton showing control whereby he has struggled all year. I would call it no fear against our lineup these days.

Eh, it's just that Blanton, on balance, is a much better pitcher than Owings, and performance is starting to prove that.

Yeah, Blanton walked several his last time out, but he was facing the 3rd best offense in the NL, the Nationals.

Or a 1 out single. Either/or.

At least the guy can swing the dude can still swing the bat.

Owings has been a below average starter all season. San Diego hasn't ruined him today. Philadelphia just finds below average pitchers to be yummy for lunch.

Yeah, if you compare the lineups today and compare the pitchers, you have to wonder why the outcome was ever in doubt.
