Why is everyone so surprised our pitching staff is falling apart?
Dusty has literally 20 years of history with this
It took an all time great pitching staff with unsustainable non-injury luck last season to break his tendencies
They are falling apart because the damn starting pitching. Only 2 of the 5 can consistently go 6 innings. 2 of the staters of this year got injuried and 1 expected to come back at the ASB goes out for the year.
The owner decided to fire the GM right before the offseason, a guy who was pretty good at finding talent, and no moves made to the BP. Then signs a guy who was throwing BP the entire first half of the season.
There is a lot I'm not the biggest Dusty fan, but the pitching issues go far beyond Dusty.
