As in, his job security is more or less directly tied to how these guys perform. Yes indeed.
That's the scary thing. If he's going down, he's going down with his veterans.
Just like with Contreras rebounding from the 3-0 count to the leadoff hitter, you have to hope Alexei chasing ball 4 in the 1st inning didn't change this game.

better because the NL helps their numbers, pitcher by pitcher we have them beat. Our pen blows theirs away.
I'd take Zambrano/Lilly/Dempster/Wells/Harden over Buehrle/Floyd/Danks/Richard/Contreras
Our pitchers have really done a miserable job at holding the opposition after we score (besides Contreras). Really deflating when your offense is struggling.
What in the hell is wrong with Ozzie? Is it too much to give these kids some encouragement? We absolutely need a new manager if we go into rebuilding mode.
