To be fair, I don't think Mirabelli counts for much. We all expected him to hit into the double play, and he doesnt play every day, so he cant be blamed.
But I do see what you are saying. Our pitchers certainly arent tanking, and our offense is not producing nearly enough to win consistently. We need runs to win, and we arent getting them. Whether its because Trot and Nomar are gone, or some other reason, I don't know.
Its ironic though, because its almost the completely opposite of last year, when we were all hitting, no pitching.
