I have defended Mainieri, and I don't think he should be fired over this season's results. But I can't defend him any more for this season. The losing streak to Tulane is inexcusable and the lack of offensive production at Kentucky is inexcusable.

At this point, I can't blame anyone who criticizes and puts the blame on Mainieri.

Two things are apparent.

The loss of Cannizzaro and subsequent hiring of Gibbs has been a disaster. I think what we are seeing is that Cannizzaro was making us a notch better than we were AND Gibbs is making us a notch worse. This was a team on paper that was a contender that is performing like a marginal regional team. I honestly think the team is overrated at the moment.

The pitching staff has almost nothing to hang its hat on. The top of the staff has underperformed and the bullpen has been disasterous at times. Our starters are at least as likely to get run within 5 innings as they are to have a great outing.

When things go this bad it's usually not just one thing. It's way worse. This team would have to turn it around top to bottom for it to play to its potential on paper.
