Might as well forfeit the games this guys starts.
The .146 hitter goes deep. Anderson is not the answer to filling the rotation but I guess for now, he is the best they have. Only giving up a home and a half per inning so far tonight.
Sad that Falter took himself out of the opportunity to go into the rotation this season.
