Everyone needs to shut the f**k up. This organization is strong. We have the farm to trade for two "aces" if we wanted to. This **** is a process and our staff has been as unlucky as possible an 1/8th of the way through the season and yet we are right there in the most competitive division in baseball. So R-E-L-A-X. And shut the f**k up. Puh-leeeze search the tea leaves. We look as bad as at any recent time. Before tonight our "strong organization" was last in MLB starter's ERA. It did not get better. Our relief core can't be ranked high either. In order to improve in short order we will have to give up our prime prospects. Would you do that? I believe we need two relievers and two starters. I would rather the prospects mature, suffer another bad year...and perhaps garner another high draft pick. And no, I don't think that it is too early to make judgments.

Which is not all that surprising!

Our pitchers are like: "Oh we scored, gotta give up some more runs"

Mostly misdemeanors, y'know - Hillary and Jeb kind of right up to yhe edge of the law stuff. But once I tell the Padre I'm a Sox fan he's says that's penance enough.

Still people complained since last year of his slow hook. Now the same people are complaining about a quick hook. Can't have it both ways Yes, you can. When your starter is giving up a bunch of soft hits, your bullpen is spent, and he's only at 60-odd pitches in the third inning and about to face the 7-8-9 hitters, you leave him in. When he's at 100 pitches, is consistently missing the plate, and is about to face the heart of the order, you take him out.

I guess the Blue Jays don't have any lefties in their pen or something.

So who is it going to be? DFAed tonight? My bet is Craig. Stop convincing me that you never watch a single game. Craig isn't the problem. Heck, if this team was comprised of 9 Craig's, that still wouldn't be the problem. Those who should be DFA'd are those fans who cherry picked numbers to make this sorry excuse for a pitching staff into something possibly good, likely very good even. Yet it was doomed from the start, and a few of us were well aware of that.

Its still very early and we have plenty of time, money and prospects to fix this. Its only April and we're still above .500 in a weak division. Other teams are losing their aces for the season and here you are complaining when its mostly bad babip luck and some lousy fielding other than miley.

So if Hanigan goes down does that start the Swihart era? Just looked like a possibility.

And we're holding. 3 run game, 3 inning to go. Should be easy for the offensive juggernaut that Ben built

ERA over one season = bad stat. ERA over one month = trivia. OK. Pick your pitching stat and see where we rank.
