I'm hoping that this years starting pitching comes out in the 2nd half. I've consistently said that I expect our pitching to really pick things up and I see a pretty hefty streak of winning baseball in our near to immediate future.

Well, the one good thing I will say is that it's hard to see how the starting pitching can be any worse than it has been over the first half given the amount of talent we have in there, so even if they manage the same performance in the 2nd half, we're still in good shape for the Wild Card. And they're all capable of being significantly better. And if they're not, Brandon is.

good info, but we just arent playing like we mean it
