I know it seems that way, and maybe for pitching it is true, but I really have kept basically the same roster for 4 seasons+, and I only upgraded when I opened a pack and got a Nolan Arenado pull. Other than that my lineup has been set for the better part of 4 seasons. But yes I am very impatient when I see 5 pitchers with a FIP higher than 5.50 and an ERA+ lower than 60 at about 35 games in...I'm guilty of that for sure.

Maybe it's just my experience, but I find that pitching doesn't have the peaks and valleys as significantly as hitting does. I've seen quite a few crazy hitting slumps right themselves both IRL and in PT. But very rarely have I ever seen a pitcher give up 15 HR in 35 innings and somehow "righten the ship" so to speak. It does occur more frequently due to injuries, but in PT injuries are a moot point, so when I see a pitcher give up that many HR over a short period, that's basically how he's going to perform the rest of the season.
