Beckett No-No’s Phillies

Three time All Star and 2003 World Series MVP Josh Beckett threw his first no-hit game against the Philadelpha  Phillies Sunday May 25, 2014. The 34 year old right handed pitcher, who once was known as an elite ace in the major leagues, has struggled with a nerve condition that has ran his once feared name through the mud. Coming off a disappointing 0-5 5.19 ERA 8 games in the 2013 season Josh has worked hard to regain his stuff and be an active part of the Dodgers starting rotation.

Many are hoping last season will be nothing more then a memory. Yet, Beckett who started the year on the DL has done just the opposite. The question most asked is whether or not Beckett will even be a factor for the Dodgers this season.

Thus far Beckett has made a strong statement in his return to glory, as he is now 3-1 with a 2.43 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP. Has Josh Beckett found himself again? With Beckett starting to play like the ace that he is it makes me wonder can the Dodgers rotation get any stronger? Where’s does he fit in the rotation now? And what does this mean for the rest of the season?
