Not surprised because Tito and everyone else has zero confidence in the entire pitching staff. Even Buccholz was rumored to be coming back for at least short-pen relief but nobody seriously thinks that will occur unless the playoff round.
Not counting the horrible errors (23 in last 21 innings), hitting-wise the team is doing better than last month but the ERA from the pitching staff almost eats away any runs scored (5-6 ERA vs 6-7 Runs per game).
Crawford also finally got around to playing great for long stretch of time since he's the #1 batter in MLB for the month of September in terms of potential playoff teams.
