I really don't want to write this, but I feel it bears mentioning. Something is not right with Chad Billingsley. The range of what's ailing him could be anything from an injured hamstring, to a shaky mindset, to physical exhaustion. Of course Bills claims he's fine, but what player wouldn't stretch the truth in a spot like this. Jon, over at Dodger Thoughts, covers this issue as well, and even suggests Bills should skip a start in hopes of finding an answer.
I don't "hate" Chad Billingsley, and I still feel he's one of the handful of difference makers for the playoffs, but today's start (4 IP, 8 H, 3 ER) did nothing to erase the curiosity that has been lingering for months. Billingsley wasn't awful today, after all he struck out six while walking zero. It is obvious however that something is askew. What to make of all this, who knows? But I wouldn't be surprised if something leaked in the offseason confirming our very suspicions.
