that does not suck. let's assume supps is in; the last spot goes to morris or marquis. mattmo is the prejudicial favorite, but it has become almost impossible to justify his inclusion on any grounds other than seniority. in his last 4 starts marquis has only walked one batter in 32 innings while striking out 17; his era is about 1.45. taking the season as a whole, morris and marquis have comparable eras and whips; morris' OPS allowed is 10 points lower, but that's largely a control-related issue, and since marquis is now throwing strikes i don't place much stock in it. they're basically having the same season --- but marquis is improving while morris is fading. . . . . .
big start for matty today.
