San Diego Padres fans expressed concerns over the team's starting pitching in a recent survey. Griffin Canning and Lucas Giolito have struggled significantly this season, contributing to the team's ongoing rotation issues. Canning has a 1-5 record and a 7.38 ERA, while Giolito, who is now on the injured list, has a 5.16 ERA. Injuries to Yu Darvish and Nick Pivetta have further complicated the situation.
