*yes I know it's ridiculous to advocate giving up 7-8 runs, but IMO it's not less ridiculous than saying small ball is the best kinda offense if you have good pitching like trying to win 3-2 with minimal margin of error is advisable*
The thing is you can rely on a pitcher more than you can an offense scoring that many runs off of a good pitcher. It's simple math really. Pitchers win over 70% of the battles. Hitters win about 30% of the battles.
