I keep trying with this team. I keep trying to think positive and just watch the games and root them on, but this freaking pitching staff is so freaking infuriating that I just cant do it. Everytime this team gets the slightest momentum and everytime it looks like we might be turning a corner these pitchers go out and give up 8-9 runs.

Offense comes back today and ties it up at 3-3 and our pitching rewards them by giving up 8 runs and counting. I just have to turn it off. Other than a handful of good outings (which is almost bound to happen statistically by accident) this is the most irritating pitching staff I've ever seen...:bang::bang::bang:

Parra, Hill and Goldy all had good nights at the plate, but again, you let the other team score 5 runs or more, and you're not going to win a lot of games.....

Particularly when you only score 3... Our offense blows...

The box score shows the ERA's of all three of our pitchers in the game at over 6.00. Not good!

Take a look at our run differntial.... IT IS MINUS 65! Outside of Houston, the American League version of us (minus 57), no one else is even remotely close to us. Gahhhhh! I think this stat shows just how truly horrendous we are.

Sadly I quit before I even started, really. :(

Only caught bits and pieces here and there at the beginning of the season. But after their HORRIBLE start I can't bring myself to care. And that's sad, because I'm a huge DBacks fan.

The young, up-and-coming team that took the Brewers to 7 is gone. Now it's just a bunch of overpaid vets and an average farm system.

Thanks Towers.

It's been a very, very odd and painful start to the season for sure... Our home record is putrid and is virtually all about our starting pitching. At home, it seems our starters believe in pitching 4 inning games...

They won? Good, didn't get to watch it at work. They coming around a little and playing a lot better now. Good to see. Good for them.

It was radio only. Might be on tape delay later. Last 2 innings will give you heartburn though.

Simple. According to Towers, it's our fans fault causing the players problems at home they don't have on the road.

"I think a lot of it has to be pressing at home," general manager Kevin Towers told Doug and Wolf Wednesday on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. "I think our guys know how vested our fan base is in this club and how we haven't performed at home. (There's) maybe added pressure, trying to do too much at home.

"Things have been somewhat negative around there in the way we've played -- it's hard on them. Where here, you're somewhat insulated on the road. When you're on the road, perhaps there is a little less pressure."

He did sneak in there "and how we haven't performed at home."

That falls on either the General Manager or the Manager and his coaching staff. Or both!

The question is . . . is Kendricks going to replace the fans . . . or the GM and Manager? The correct answer seems obvious.
