Pitching is not the issue this season; it wasn't the issue last season.
The same issues remain. They include the lack of reliable timely, situational clutch hitting, productive outs that advance runners, less reliance on the homerun and instead more on stringing more hits together more consistently (Read: playing some small ball). 

The Jacoby/Gibbons combo have yet to prove they have the slightest clue how to correct, nor any intention to correct these shortcomings or change the Jays' boringly predictable approach at the plate with runners on base. But, that's management's problem.  Given the extension of Gibbons' contract, don't hold your breath awaiting any expeditious change.
