The pitching is not the problem these days but back in April and in some passages in May, it was. They bet in poor pitching while trying to fix it if it sucks. Some of us said that it could be late by the time. Thing is that you had other variables: the offense and fielding. They put all their bucks on them and it didn't work out either.
They have had serious problems at assembling teams in recent years. The problem is pretty evident. This FO and coaching staff are killing this franchise.
I still have little hopes, hopefully this turns around somehow.
