Is it too early to be worried about the starting pitching as a whole?

We're a little more than 2 weeks into the season. It's not very inspiring stuff so far.

Sorry, but we have discussed this all day, already.

We need another new thread on this?

I scrolled through the first page. No pitching threads were there. So I made one.

We have a couple threads on Bud. If we are going to do anything about the pitching it is going to start with him.

They need to be better. Am I worried? Not really.

Must be in the music forum, anyway.

I'm getting a bit worried about the starting pitching. But we are going up against some pretty good offenses right now and our defense has been failing a bit of late. Need Hardy back. I think they just need to find their groove. DD and Buck will start pulling some strings soon if they don't.

It's too early. Rotation didn't find it's rhythm until June last year.

It's a little concerning but it's still early and there's plenty of time for them to turn it around.

True, but our rotation never looked as ragged in April/May last year as it looks right now.

Honestly, the only one who worries me is Norris. Everyone else has had at least one good start out of their first three and I feel they will round into form. Norris has looked horrible all through spring training and in the early going, and has to be on a fairly short leash now.

I think it's too early to be overly concerned about it. IMO

The starting pitching has been discouraging, for sure. But last year we only had 5 QS in the first 15 games. This year there's been 4. Of course, there's more to pitching than a QS designation.

How much oof this has to do with the defense not being as tight as in the past? How are we doing there? Seems like more errors are piling up than in the past.

I'm more concerned about the baserunning and fielding.

2014 (1st 15 games): 85.2 IP, 4.41 ERA

2015 (1st 15 games): 73.0 IP, 5.30 ERA

Last year the starting pitching was a bit disappointing to this point; this year the starting pitching has been awful to this point.

Well, if my math's correct, the ERA is only up a half run if they kept the Snider error.
