If you haven't found , find them. This also might not be your pitchers' fault...it might be defence. Maybe you'er just in a slump as well. On friday just check your pitchers' speed and if it less than 108 then you might have a probem...maybe not.

Assuming that you have "found" your pitchers, how are you giving up these runs predominantly? Are they lots of homeruns? Or are you just giving up lots of hits? If you're giving up lots of homeruns, how fast are you guys throwing? Maybe take them down a notch. Higher speeds have been linked to more homeruns. If you're giving up lots of hits, maybe you need to train in defense. Some catching and running never hurt. Also, maybe you should give your pitchers a break. You guys may be just tired of pitching all the time. Train them in something else, (hitting, running, catching, whatever) they may appreciate the change of pace. Just some suggestions.

is this a ST team or a DT team , pitching in the st trainer your guy will get catch and throw gains more than pitch gains , so it is a good idea to max your pitchers in throw and catch first be fore you pitch them.

Hey, sometimes that happens. I was in a tourney on Sunday and used my best pitcher, who is maxed and found, and I gave up 27 runs. I was like "Wth!". Sometimes it may be luck or they just had a bad game. That is the first time he ever gave up over 10 runs.
