Somebody, either Clint Hurdle or Bob Apodaca, needs to help the pitchers understand how Aaron Cook is being effective.
It's probably more simple than they think:
Work fast and throw strikes !!!
If you are a major league pitcher, you have good enough stuff to get guys out. The defense that you have behind you was the best fielding team in MLB history last year. Limit the walks, fill up the strike zone, put the defense to work, and stop pitching scared. When you pitch defensively, you tend to work from behind, work into jams, and give up big innings. When you force the opposition to put the ball into play, your defense tends to help more than bad pitches hurt.
(Cloning Cook might be the best idea I have heard so far !!!)
