So really though, our pitching needs to improve. Buehrle sucked it up pretty hard last night against the angels. That meatball he threw to Vlad started his downfall. I don't care what everyone says, Buehrle isn't our number 1 and IMO has never been a number one. That's right, I said it. Buehrle isn't our best. He has been consistent up until 06, but not the best. Pitching is going to be hit or miss this whole year. If the hitting doesn't step it up, we're in for a roller coaster ride of a season. Our biggest problem seems to be shaking off the bad stuff. Still early in the season, but how many times has an error, bad call, tough play, etc. come back to bite us in the ass? Good pitchers will come out and get the next guy. We're thinking too much and not closing out innings. Going back to last night, there were two plays before the Vlad homerun that should have been outs. He gets up and gets a knee high pitch over the middle of the plate. No doubter into the left field stands. Hollywood Jon is going down!!! So really though, our pitching needs to improve.
