I guess you could say this is demoralizing. I hope there are some people in the clubhouse who are feeling the same way. I'm not sure there are. This has happened too many times. If this is as good as the pitching gets, we're going to make changes.
Guys better start doing the job.
Call it a threat if you want, but we have to do better. It would be one thing if this happened once or twice. In that case you write it off. I've seen more than enough of it. Oates' frustration was born on several levels.
