I don't disagree with the move by charlie just cause the only reason to pitch lee on 3 days would be to set up for a game 7 and at this point they can't worry about that. The one thing people have to remember is as good as CC has been over the last couple seasons he has been absolutely hammered against the phillies. Even his last start while he only allowed 2 through 7 he was banged around and if the phils had converted on more of their opportunities the game could have easily been 10-1. I'm more worried about how bad the line-up looks than if Blanton can pitch effectively tonight. Charlie would never consider doing this but I would be tempted to put Werth in the 3 spot move Utley to 2 and move Ibanez to 5 and put Victorino at the bottom of the line-up. Or move ruiz to the 2 spot even. Victorino's abs so far have been among the worst I've seen from a player all season.
