Only 6 games in...

...and we have gotten swept for the first of probably many times this season. I feel the offense will come around, the kids are already hitting better than anybody thought they would. It's just situational hitting that has been our downfall. Just so you know, it has been our downfall for about 4 years now. I expected much more from the pitching. I really did. I knew they weren't gonna toss 9 innings of shutout ball game in game out but I expected them to be efficient. I love aggressive pitching more than most people but it just is not possible in today's game of shrinking strike zones and pitch counts....Ok, so Cain threw 114ish pitches in his first start. So what. Did anybody care when Gibson or Koufax threw 130 pitches in their first start. No, and they had to come back on 3 days. I'm not gonna write about the 4-man rotation. We all know how strongly I feel about it....All i'm saying is if you are going to baby pitchers forever, they will never grow into complete dominant pitchers....If people are so worried about pitch counts, then cut back on bullpens or long toss....so huge homestand coming up, i think the goal is .500 ball.
