The biggest thing I see so far this season is the starting pitchers are not finishing pitches. They are really rusty and don’t have any command yet.
Pitches are being left out over the plate with no movement. If this were late August, we would call it dead arm syndrome.
These guys are gong to need another trip or two through the rotation before they build up arm strength, velocity and command.
Unlike last year where we led from the front of the race to the end, this year we are going to have to come from the back to win the race.
Ps: please bring back sandy. He has a way with these guys and we need that badly. Swihart looks like he has a left and/or right oblique strain that will require 5 to 7 months of dL time to heal.
