Jumped up to league IV this season. I expected there to be a bit of a dip in my players stats (harder league, after all)... I did not quite expect what is happening. My starting pitchers can't seem to pitch their way out of a paper bag! They aren't young guys, or "old" over the hill guys either... They're 27, 28, 29 year old guys...


Is this just a fluke or am I going to have to "re-con" my whole starting lineup?

Well, your team ERA jumped from 3.35 (last season) to 4.19 (this season). That's still a decent ERA, but could be better. You're still 21-23 and not too far out of first place. Of course, you're also in a relegation spot in the current standings.

I would focus on a couple of guys...mainly Terry Brennan and Leonardo Segura. They both had sub-3.00 ERA's last season and have fallen off a cliff this season. I would look at the games their losing and see if you need to adjust their management parameters. Maybe limit their hook a bit more or lower their pitch counts.
