Pitching Rotation Question...

[CubColtPacer]

What's up with this rotation? I know they are staying on Z's days but I'm a little confused...

 

Cubs.com

 

Wade Miller started Thursday, and threw 30 pitches in the first inning, which made it tough for him to be stretched out. He will pitch a simulated game Tuesday in Cincinnati, and start the third game of the Cubs' upcoming series in Milwaukee. Rich Hill and Zambrano will start the first two games of that series.

 

Hill 3/6

Z 3/7

Miller 3/8

 

I guess Lilly will start the HOU series 3/9

 

Because Z is going to start every 5 days, he is going to be in a different place in the order as they go throughout April and possibly the season. The order of Lilly/Marquis/Hill/Miller should stay the same, but where Z is in that order will continue to change depending on his pitching schedule.

LOL, yeah I figured it out, which is why I deleted my original post. :wink:

I don't understand all this talk of making it so Hill doesn't face the Cardinals twice.
