   Well I'm going to say it's not a certain player but more of a lack of timely hitting by the team. Francis has had some poor outings but when you don't have much run support you press more and make mistakes. Atkins and Barmes are the only ones with decent numbers at the plate. There are several batting averages that are below what these players normally hit. Put up some runs and get big leads in the game and the pitcher can relax on the mound.

Randy Johnson 3-1 era 5.40 .Jeff Francis 0-4 era 6.27. Both have very high ERA'S, but look what run support can do for your W-L.

The effort is the worst surprise so far.  The players are quitting in most games and when falling behind.  I would be very happy if they finished around .500 for the year because I don't see it happening.  The talent is not there and so is the effort.  They're a bad group of players that quit when the going gets tough.

Whaqt totally disgusts me is that the ones most disappointing are the ones who signed the big contracts over the winter.   Atkins and Barmes don't have the big contracts, Cook is the only one of the long terem contracts that is performing.   Hawpe, Holliday, Corpas, Francis,  and Torrealba have all sucked to high heaven.    Tulo did too, before he got hurt. 

I just do not want the Monforts to get bashed over this, they did what the fan base wanted them to do.

Hopefully these over priced hyenas will get it together, orit could be several long years.
