JP struck out in another key situation today. I called it too. Turned to my wife when the count went full and said, "Watch this, he's going to strike out right here. Does it every time." And then proceeded to swing at a pitch waaaay out of the strike zone in a key situation. The guy just hasn't learned how to have good at bats.

R.A. Dickey has been just as disappointing this year. Not much of an ace at all, and downright terrible in a handful of starts.

I'm really hating that trade more and more these days. I knew losing D'Arnaud was going to hurt really bad, but adding in top pitching prospects (which apparently we still need since these starters we acquired are nothing special) hurts really really bad.

I think AA needs to consider another big shakeup to this team. Outside of Bautista, Encarnacion, and Lind (most of the time), nobody is stepping up and making a difference.

I don't see Gibbons back next year if they keep going like this.
