The critical thing to understand is that major-league pitchers don't appear to have the ability to prevent hits on balls in play. There are many possible reasons why this is the case, and I don't really have a concrete idea as to why it is.

Stats on Z's last 4 starts
21 2/3 innings, 28 hits, 21 runs. Streaks are understandable but his antics aren’t quite as cute when he is pitching like our #4 starter for an entire month.

Why such angst for Cotts?
Seems to me he’s been pretty good this year overall. Now, of course he didn’t look good last Friday but all the Cub pitchers stunk it up starting in the 6th inning that day.
Hey, it's a new century!
too erratic
He has bad habits that he tends to fall into quite often. Walks too many guys.

I was in a draft last week where I was the #3 pick and got LT after the first two guys picked AP then Tom Brady…..sucker born every minute
The critical thing to understand is that major-league pitchers don't appear to have the ability to prevent hits on balls in play. There are many possible reasons why this is the case, and I don't really have a concrete idea as to why it is.

He says that is for timing, but I think it is ignorant
Sarcasm, just one of my many talents

Are you even watching the same games the rest of us are?
Sheesh. WE CANNOT WIN EVERY GAME!
