Yall are putting way too much emphasis on lefty lefty match ups.

Maybe I'm overly optimistic about this staff, but I agree. I'm expecting big things from Fontenot, as well as Peterson to be solid again in the 9th.

So, let's look at a post season situation. You have whoever starts that day. Then you turn it over to Hillard, Fontenot, Peterson. Are you wanting to ball out of those pitchers hands, no matter who is batting?

Maybe it's a rare occurrence where a hitter smashes right handed pitching and can't touch a lefty. In that rare occurrence hopefully our one lefty can benefit us there. How often will that happen though?

In the MLB in 2018:

LH vs LHP avg: 234/305/363

RH vs LHP avg: 251/330/423


The average MLB hitter hits .248/318/409 for reference.

So RH hitters actually hit LHP above league average.


That is a huge difference in numbers.
