That may be. Here's what happened:

Game 1: Eric Show goes 7.1
Game 2: Moret goes 0.1
Game 3: Blair goes 3.2 IP
Game 4: Norris goes 6
Game 5: Moret goes 4.1
At this point I move Show to the #2 position
Game 6: Show goes 2.2 and gives up 10 first inning runs
Game 7: Game selects Nestor Cortes (long reliever, gives up 3 in the first). Dennis Blair, the scheduled starter, is second out of the pen and pitches 2.2

Things I have learned:

a) Do not move the starters around in the rotation order
b) Do not change strategy to allow starters in relief before game 7.
