I am going to take this thread in a different route.

Is Ott pitching well ..no

When did he start pitching poorly?

Remember back to last year when the ptiching staff as a whole was struggling and everyone on the rant wanted Ott to be moved to a starting role. Damn near every arse clown on this board wanted this.

Ott pitches 7 innings giving up 2 runs as we beat Bama in extra innings. Up until this point Ott has 11 saves on the year. He gets the win in this game.

The next week Florida is drilling our pitching so the rant gets their wish and CPM starts Ott. He goes 3.2 innings and give up 9 earned runs on 8 hits in a loss.

He nexts pitches against Vandy 2 innings giving up 1 earned run on 2 hits. Blowing a save but getting the win because we win it late.

He does not have a save the rest of the season.

I may be wrong but I am going to say that whatever has happened to Matty those two games were the turning point.

Essentially what I am trying to say is Fridays loss is the Rants fault for making Matty a starter.

See what I did there.

P, I'm not ready to throw in the towel on Matty just yet but after yesterdays little outing I think it's painfully obvious that his head is effed up. After he gave up the HR Friday night he had an "oh shite" look on his face the rest of the time. This game can be a rotten whore at times. Maybe he's in dire need of a Susan Sarandon sized slump buster.
