The righty vs righty matchup is a fugazi.

These kids grow up facing a RHP about 75% of the time between all levels. Just using common sense, at this point in their life a collegiate hitter has seen just about all that can be offered from a righty.

Maybe facing a LHP does give a slight advantage to a righty, HOWEVER this does not automatically reciprocate into a disadvantage against a RHP.

We decided to make nothing out of something by reaching for the matchup game
- with only 1 out to work with
- with a runner on base
- in a 1 run game
So we bench a guy with a HR in the game for a kid coming in ice cold. For no other reason than what hand that the ball was being thrown from.. It should be called what it was, RETARDED.

Because of the irregularity (what makes LHP so sought after) the lefty vs lefty dynamic is a lot more plausible when playing matchups.

Don’t give me bullshite about incremental variances that boil down to a handful of hundredths of a percentage. Not everything in sports can be quantified.
