we struggled with good lefties like most teams but we smashed shitty lefties. last year we had trouble with both.

True. It is also true that we hit lefties better than almost everyone, but we were still better against righties.

Most teams bat higher against righties, so having more left handed pitchers is a plus.

I remember hearing how Wes Johnson moved the rubber on the mound to one side so in order to let the batters practice hitting balls coming from the same angle as a left hander would throw.
