I think i'm getting bad rolls because these guys aren't hitting squat.

I figured I would have enough LH pop with Ruth & Snider but my team is still struggling vs RHP. Mincher & Parrish are below the Mendoza line. I can live with Parrish (I think he really helps my pitching staff overachieve), however Mincher is weak. After 42 games I'm only a game out of first, however I think hitting only .222 vs righties is gonna catch up with me and my team will nosedive. Any suggestions? Lineups? Help!

22-20 with the relative poor performance with those hitters is great. How are you batting them? My thoughts:

RH/LH
Jackie
Snider
Ruth
Yount
Minch/Roen
Rice
Parrish/Doran
Doran/Parrish

Note that vs RHs your card numbers are a bit low especailly the OBP:

OBP vs RH 0.377
SLG vs RH 0.460
OPS vs RH 0.837
HR Rate vs RH 4.7
BPHR vs RH 42
OBP vs LH 0.427
SLG vs LH 0.503
OPS vs LH 0.930
HR Rate vs LH 5.2
BPHR vs LH 44

Stay the course, but only 3 LH power bats vs RHs and 2 vs LHs is not enought for Y56 IMHO.

Best of luck, sschu

Thanks SSchu. I think what is helping is that teams are throwing a bunch of lefties at me which is my strongest side. I think I'll try to trade for that LH bat, or drop Rice and get Ogilvie. Thanks
