The more I see them pitch, the more I think they're simply not capable.

Same problem as last year.

 

[canucksfan]

Same staff as last year pretty much. Same results. Consistency for sure.

In general they are inefficient. They throw too many pitches and or start to get hit hard so they have to leave the game.

The relievers will get burnt out again if this continues.

 

[Longshot]

Same problem as last year.

Last year's problem was injuries, which led to the starters pitching too few innings.

Johnson, Morrow and Happ were 3/5s of the rotation and they spent the majority of the year hurt.

There isn't a team in a major league baseball that could expect 7+ innings consistently from their 6th, 7th and 8th starters.

This year everybody has been healthy so far and only Buerhle has shown any ability to pitch beyond the 5th inning.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Wait what?

Goins just hit a homerun? What is the world coming to

 

[canucksfan]

Morrow is averaging just less than 5 innings a start, Dickey just under 6,Hutch 5, McGowan slightly over 4.

 

[TMLeafer]

Goins Goins Gone!

 

[Longshot]

Reyes. Goins hits a homerun. You might have something going and the lead off guy goes up hacking and pops out on the first pitch.

 

[Woodman19]

Morrow is averaging just less than 5 innings a start, Dickey just under 6,Hutch 5, McGowan slightly over 4.

At least Hutch has the potential as the season moves along to get better. Can't say the same about the rest.

Great.. pen should be done by May

Great at bat, then crappy at bat, great at bat.. what happens next?

 

[TMLeafer]

Melky

I like Hutch. I was critical of him before the season but he has impressed me.

Hutch is doing just fine. The problems are Morrow and Dickey. They both are supposed to be front of the rotation starters that go 6+ every time out.

Isn't that what lead off guys are supposed to do? Swing at the first pitch and hack away?

Pineda ejected for having illegal substance on neck. He finally got caught.

They showed that earlier on the Jays broadcast. It was pretty funny. He now faces a suspension.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Whoa 6-3 Jays. Me likey

Waaaaaaaaaa ?

 

[Longshot]

Bautista is really zoned in this year. Great at bats. Perfect year for my fantasy keeper league to switch from Batting Average to OBP.

 

[shakes]

Rally killer.. nice and ****** AB, EE

 

[TMLeafer]

EE is pissing me off.

One of those Yankees announcers arguing why substances should be allowed.. lol

Nice pitch Happ. Way to give it right back

 

[Woodman19]

In the end, we scored 7 runs and it is going to likely result in a loss.

 

[shakes]

What a terrible display the "pitchers" are putting on tonight. Think I may as well watch Swamp People. Better than watching batting practice

 

[Canada4Gold]

no RISP for Lawrie. Just as well to end the inning now

 

[Woodman19]

Good thing we are such a good club that we can afford to throw 1 game away in each series in spectacular fashion.

 

[Canada4Gold]

just get on base Brett. Power hitter Goins on deck can tie it with 1 swing
