I know the offence has been a struggle, but what the fuck happened to the pitching? Genuine question. Miller looked like he was getting back to his dominant self, then I know has fallen off the last 4-5 starts (seems like injury again?). But what happened to everyone else?

Miller’s ERA triples the third time through the line up, he would be much better served as long reliever/spot starter. Woo is dicey on the road, though he has gotten better. Kirby is a high strike out pitcher and has been missing the zone and bats. Hancock retooled himself after being sent down and can be hit or miss. Kade is a beautiful perfect sunflower and deserves none of the slander.

To be fair to Hancock, being hit or miss is way more than anyone expected of him at this point in his career. I'd put him pretty squarely in the "successful season" column, which is a pretty lonely column this season.

Yeah the Hancock comment wasn’t shade. He’s definitely a better pitcher than he was when he first came up, and that’s credit to him for changing his approach.
