Yall just forgetting TJ Zeuch made a start in the first series?? And we had a 4 man rotation of Ryu, Ray, Matz and Stripling/Pearson for the first several weeks with spot starts sprinkled in.
This year we had a legit 5 man rotation on opening day with Gausman/Berrios/Manoah/Ryu/Kikuchi.
s*** happens though. Somehow the rotation this year performed worse.
