This is just getting ridiculous!

Let's take a look at some updated numbers.

SP/RP	W/L	S	IP	H	ERA	ER	K/BB	AVG/OBP/SLG
Starters	7-5	0	86	76	2.93	38	47/24	.242/.298/.347
Relievers	1-0	5	31	21	1.16	4	35/8	.193/.248/.349

The bullpen is still in shutdown mode and Bannister & Greinke are playing anything you can do I can do better. These are good times despite an offense that ranks last in the league in OBP and runs. I still believe that the offense will come to life and I bet it happens when the weather gets a little warmer. There isn't much chance that the pitching can sustain their league leading team ERA of 2.46 so the hope is that the bats will come around before then.

I love that Bannister & Greinke pitched back to back complete games and I also love that Hillman let them. The teams two complete games ties their 2007 total after only 13 games. Amazing. Everyone keeps waiting for the return to normalcy but the team ERA keeps getting lower. John Bale goes tonight so you can expect another 6 inning 4 run performance, which keeps them in the game but if he keeps it up it is going to get him bounced from the rotation. I was really wanting to see what Bale could do as a starter but so far I'm unimpressed. Tomko on the other hand (who I didn't want to see starting) has been fantastic. Small sample sizes are fun.
