My dish went out weather related. I go to yahoo and see J. Horst is pitching. Now my knowledge of farm systems is legendary but even I am having trouble with J. Horst. Any clues??

GT Alum..

I forget the numbers, but Hudson hasn’t had a Hudsonesque game in almost a month I believe. And Hanson may have only given up two runs but he didn’t make it to the 5th for the second game in a row. His command was off and he had a high pitch count. And this is also Lowes second poor start in a row. I agree that the offense (and occasionally the D) has been the culprit this season, but the starters, other the JJ (and the lone Minor start), has struggled recently.

Chris from the rock,
That’s not atypical to have trouble against a guy you haven’t seen before nor have a book on. The second time though the lineup would be more telling, if this guy pitches a few innings.

A rookie can’t be good? Kimbrel is a rookie. Venters was a rookie last year.

And really, nobody’s forcing you to watch this team. You’re free to pick any other team to root for if it’s this painful.

Jeff D, Maybe he isn’t miserable because he is steeling himself for what he believes to be the inevitable. If he is wrong, he will be happy. He is already prepared to lose the game and he now can only be pleasantly surprised.

Team just doesn’t have “it” right now. But, they have the talent to win. Heyward and Uggs will start hitting. Chipper will be better than he has been. Marteen will be better than he has been. It just needs to find it sooner rather than later.

Hanson 4 2/3, and Lowe 3 1/3 innings, Hudson and Beachy injuried….could this be the start of the pitching slump? I expected the hitting to come around by the time the pitching started to slump.
