The Philadelphia Phillies have replaced Brett Myers in the rotation with Jon Lieber
This is a panic move by the Phillies who have started the year very poorly. Myers has pitched in 4 games (3 starts) and he’s 0-2 with a 8.82 ERA and a 1.59 WHIP so far this season. Myers has pitched 16.1 innings so far this season and he’s allowed 17 hits, 16 earned runs, 5 homers and walked 9 batters. He has whiffed 20 batters this season so far so maybe he will do a good job in the pen. Jon Lieber pitched in 2 games so far this season and his ERA is 11.57 and he has a 2.57 WHIP. Lieber has been a starting pitcher his whole career and he’s had trouble adjusting to the bullpen as he has allowed 4 hits and walked 2 batters in 2.1 innings so far this season.
