We have a pen that shortens games to 5 innings. If we get Pineda back, we'll have Tanaka, Pineda and Kuroda with a lights out pen. I think we have the goods on the mound to be dangerous in the playoffs. The problem is, our offense doesn't hit good pitching

 

Im going to have to disagree that you have the starting pitching to make a run in october. Kuroda is not the same as last year.

Pen arms are prone to disasters if they have to work 4 innings each night. You need starters going 200IP to keep those guys fresh. Not just for October, but following years.

Kuroda has silently been pretty good for us. He hasn't been an ace, like year's past, but he's been a solid #3 type starter. 4.23ERA, 1.24WHIP. Not too bad. Peripherals practically identical to last yr.

Hows Ivan Nova been doing. I know he got injured but I remember that he was pretty good in your rotation last year.

He's hurt and we are hurting allowing him to suck in the lineup. He should have had his surgery last month

Its amazing how well jon lester has pitched since the beginning of last july. Seems like forever ago when we were really getting on him after his bad 2012 campaign and his era being up in the 4.60 territory the first half of last year.
