And their hitting is even worse. Actually their pitching has improved since the beginning of the season even though it's still inconsistant. Earlton has pitched well for the most part and Hernandez has two solid outings since his return. Even Affeldt has been decent the last few outings. There hasn't been any run support though. Mays has been horrible and Redmond has struggled because of the knee. This team has no true ace, nobody who'll take the ball and will a win on the mound. That is a big problem. The one guy who everyone thinks can be that guy is Greinke, and as we all know he hasn't pitched yet and has his own problems to overcome.
