Myers (2-4, 5.91 ERA) spent most of last season as Philadelphia’s closer, earning 21 saves in 24 chances. However, he returned to the rotation this season after the Phillies (24-21) acquired closer Brad Lidge from Houston.
The move has yet to pay off, as Myers owns the worst ERA on Philadelphia’s staff. He was pounded for a career high-tying eight runs - six earned - in a season-low 4 1-3 innings of Wednesday’s 8-6 loss to Atlanta. The defeat dropped him to 0-3 with a 7.62 ERA over his last five starts.
“It’s frustrating. I’m not giving the team an opportunity to win,” Myers, who was booed as he left Wednesday’s game, told the Phillies’ official Web site. “I’m disappointed in myself. I’m disappointed in letting my teammates down and disappointed that the fans had to watch that.”
Myers is 7-7 with a 4.91 ERA in 27 appearances - 17 starts - against the Nationals franchise. He gave up four runs in five innings without getting a decision in the Phillies’ season-opening 11-6 home loss to Washington on March 31.

redding is #5 material
brett myers velocity has been way down this year, but he has had some tough luck
looking at his last start against the braves...part of it was because the braves hitting was awesome...
fastball at knees...chipper jones homers....fastball low and away..kelly johnson homerun....
whenever brett myers got ahead in the count he got a strikeout...he still has great fastball movement and a good breaking ball.....he just needs to mix them up better...and get ahead in the count....tim redding on the other hand has very underwhelming stuff....and is a good matchup for phillies...with all that being said i took washington because i am fading myself due to my horrible luck...lol....good luck
