Yeah..that's the point. They gave the Dodgers all they could handle with a terrible rotation. Maybe someone needs to go tell them how much they needed a "frontline starter"?
I mean Cole Hamels or JA Happ absolutely could have made a difference in a short series with the way they were pitching in the 2nd half. I wouldn't call their rotation terrible either. More like average.
I know the people say the playoffs are a "crapshoot", but let's be real. The Stros, Red Sox, and Yankees were all going to destroy any NL team that made the WS this year. So it's a moot point, imo.
