You have to put the pitching and hitting in context. When we were scoring 5 or more runs a game and we're still losing, pitching was clearly the problem. In order to lose a game where you score 5 runs, you have to give up 6.
If your offense score three runs, you're not likely to win the game.
When an offense scores so few runs, all the pitching does is control the size of the loss.
not trying to be a jerk, but are you and sf reading my posts? i'm not sticking up for the offense, trust me they deserved to be blamed and I'm doing just that.
but at the same time, when your starting pitcher gives up 4 runs in just five innings, you're not being put in a good position to win the game. that's all. and you don't see lannan complaining about his lack of support (which has been one of the worst in the league since '07) and he's lost games where he's only given up one or two runs. last two nights, we've had terrible offense and terrible starting pitching.
