The now pitching reminds me of Matt Chico, Mike Backsik, Saul Rivera, Levale Speigner...all those forgotten guys. Yes, the Lerner family has money, unlike the Griffith family, and the Lerners will spend it. Yes, Rizzo knows what he is doing, and he spots talent. Just think of Alcides Escobar, Josh Harrison, plus Kyle Schwarber, or Gerardo Parra, Asdrubel Cabrera, Anibal Sanchez.
It is dismal to lose again and again, to sit through games in which the team takes a lead and stops hitting, or takes a lead and the starter blows it apart, or takes a lead and the bullpen hands back seven runs from the sixth onward, or when the rookie fielders drop the ball or throw to the wrong base, or forget to cover the base.
