Just checked the box score and saw Lilly was awesome. How did Z look? When he gave up the run, were the baserunners from walks, hard-hit balls, or little bloops and seeing-eye singles?
It got stronger as the season went on, but for the first 5 or 6 games I'm surprised Rodgers just didn't walk off the field with as much as he was getting hit. It's a good pick.
I have to wonder what Mr. Ricketts thinks about this move. I know owners usually stay out of the day-to-day management of the on-field product, but I think an exception is warranted here.
