On top of that our offense is pretty average right now and looks to be well below average when facing a good LH pitcher where our LH power bats get fully neutralized. I was so glad to see that their closer in the 9th was a RH pitcher. All that said, its WAY better to be able to work on things after a series win than after a disappointing series loss. We have the pieces, its just a matter of being able to put it together and part of that is in finding some more dependable RH hitting when facing a LH pitcher along with our LH hitters at least being able to cut down on their repeated strikeouts against lefties. I believe our starting pitching will eventually be solid, especially if Bednar gets back to health, and hopefully our infield defense will work out the kinks as well. We can't live with our starting SS averaging an error per game though.
