MLB: Piniella not seeing consistency, execution in losing trend

Lou don’t need his eyes to see.
Lou and his eyes have parted company
I’m looking through Lou Piniella’s eyes

“I like our team. There are areas we need to get better at, and for us to win consistently, there are areas we have to get better at, plain and simple,” Piniella said. “We don’t have a powerhouse here. I don’t care what people say. I see this team play daily.

“We have a good team, and it’s a team that has to execute, that has to take advantage of opportunities, and has to pitch and has to do all the things teams do to win baseball games. We haven’t executed as well in some areas, and we have to get better. If we don’t, it’s going to be a struggle.”

“We might have to make some changes,” he said. “I hope not. I really hope not. I hope we can stay just the way we are, and we’re going through a rough spell and we can work our way through it. I’ve been giving some thought about doing some things with the baseball team. There’s no rush, but at the same time, there’s some food for thought.”

..."We’re getting people on base, it’s just a question of getting them in more consistently,” he said. “We talk about all these numbers, but the only numbers I enjoy talking about are wins and losses, and lately the losses are greatly outnumbering the wins, and I’m not too pleased with that.”

You know who's consistent? Reed Johnson. Play him everyday, Lou. Please.

Also consistent? Marquis.

Pie with 2 starts in a row, Marquis to have his turn in the rotation skipped this weekend. Keep it up Lou, and you'll get back in my good graces. I know it's important to you.

So they lead the NL in OBP and Runs, are average in Runs Allowed, are 18-14, and have underperformed their Pyth by 2 in five weeks. They're playing well. What is the question here?
