My idea was to give Manoah an Opener. Let him start with the bottom of the order, not the top. If the problem -- or some of the problem -- is anxiety/lack of confidence, which goes away after he has good results with the bottom of the order, then have him start with that.

I like the idea of breaking Kikuchi and Manoah up.... but geez, after today's game, I just don't know how we can keep going on with Manoah period. We need to start winning series against our competitors for playoff spots: the Rays, Yankees, Orioles and now the Astros and the Rangers - there's not much room for any stumbling from here on in. I'm also surprised they didn't try and keep Manoah in there for 80-90 pitches to at least save the bullpen a few innings. Not good.
