There is no pitching depth. So, time and again Aoki has to hope/wish/pray that the guy he has in the game can somehow get outs.

Now, this is understandable....understandable that this program is in the hands of someone who can't put together depth over a 9 year period.

The team looks half competent this year. That is miles short of the standard, and should have cost him his job 2 or 3 years ago. That his job is STILL not in jeopardy is absolutely maddening. This program got to the CWS in the past 15-20 years, so there is no excuse for not competing. It has been proven possible. There is no excuse for this mess.

Yet, Aoki seems to be given every excuse (oh, the ACC is hard, Bluto) to fail, and nothing is expected of him in terms of putting together a program that is deeper than 2 decent weekend starters and 2 guys in the bullpen.

This is not hard. He has not done the job over 9 years. Why in God's name would you given him another?
