Can I ask what you mean by that? We all knew they can hit, but even then they aren't THIS good. We know we would struggle to hit, but their staff is nowhere near this good. Our staff was supposed to be really good.

What do you mean by "bad match up?" Is our staff supposed to give up 7+ runs to every single good hitting team? Is our O supposed to put up 2 runs on a bad pitching team? How would we be more likely to win if we were playing a more balanced team, or a team with bad hitting and a good staff? Will we win games with even less than 2 runs over 2 games? Of course not.

"Bad match up" doesn't really hold for Baseball like it does the other major 2. And the problems we are seeing are problems that will be exploited by every team, unless we play a hel of a lot better in both areas
