The truth is that DD could not spend the necessary money to bolster the pen. He had to hope that somehow THIS wouldn't happen. Of course, it did. The other thing that happened is that our SP, which was supposed to be a strength of this team, has totally sucked. Also, there has been a clear lack of focus by nearly every player on this team as evidenced tonight by Bradley failing to back up Martinez in RF. Brain dead plays like that are commonplace this year. Finally, Cora has been exposed as an incompetent manager this year. Thats my own opinion for the debacle that is this year's team.
