Funny how all you guys lose faith in a pitcher after one bad start.
Going into today Maroth had started 8 times and Detroit was 6-2 in those games.
Of the 8 starts, only two were bad, and they weren't really terrible, either (4 ERs allowed in 5 and 6 IPs).
But one bad game on the road, and suddenly the guy is worthless?
Detroit is a known pitcher's park.
In the 3 games Maroth has started at home, Detroit is 3-0 and Maroth has an E.R.A. of 1.87.
He's fine at home; I never would have started him today, except I figured against KC with their big losing streak it was 7 points for the win plus at least another 8-10 points or so even if he didn't pitch that well.
