08:18 AM ET 09.11 | For their parts, both manager Brucy Bochy and Ryan Vogelsong maintain that the pitcher is healthy. Now, his ERA isn't healthy at all. Vogelsong had a 2.27 ERA through 21 starts but has a 9.57 ERA in his last six outings. Something is wrong. Maybe the catcher knows ... "It's tough to say because his stuff is definitely there," Posey said. "I don't know -- I'm kind of at a loss." ... The stuff is fine, according to all involved. Vogelsong said he's just having some trouble mechanically. "It's like I fix one thing and the other thing goes haywire," he said. "I've got to get back in the middle of the road." What comes next? "Stop being bad," he said. "I'm costing us games right now and I'm not real happy about it."

With 21 games to go and if you don't get it right the bullpen is probably where you will end up for the playoffs.

giants starter should rebound in the playoffs first round,,, why the giants can't place a little fate in this pitcher??

September 11, 2012  12:45 PM ET

the team is doing very much ok even with vogelsong mistakes,,, why can the manager catch the meaning??

September 11, 2012  12:46 PM ET

the dodgers are worse with all their new players in their roster, could this have to do with the chemistry if at all??

September 11, 2012  12:47 PM ET

the padres could be playing much better than the pesky astros,,

September 11, 2012  12:48 PM ET

No wonder you have 9,000 comments. Apparently you didn't get the memo that you can put more than one sentence in a single comment...

A few changes can help a team, but wholesale changes like the Dodgers made take a while to jell. Not that LA really had much choice--too thin to win this year without signing a bunch of talent. But it may be next year before the team really comes together.

Play some Japanese music when Vogelsong takes the mound...

Chemistry doesn't work if you have too many egos and not enough humility. Dodgers can't fix this situation without dealing...

You can't place the blame for the thin talent pool in SD on the manager.
