All you can dor there is keep changing out who you use in the pen until you find someone who can throw strikes while not getting slapped all over the yard.
Hitting away instead of bunting will not help the pen get one single out.

I am going to assume you are saying we should try to win 11-10 instead of losing 10-5 after having a 5-2 lead after 7. Problem is...not bunting any will not increase run production by 6 runs a game. In fact, no where even close.

However, 4-6 runs a game would be plenty with our starters If our pen didn't suck.
