Why can't we hit lefties well?
Posted: Sat Dec 30, 2017 7:44 pmWe play in the only left hitter advantage park in the league so we see a fair share of lefties. One ballpark is all pitchers, and the other 10 average 17.7 HR vs L and 18.6 vs R. Catch Posey, 1b Musial or Gehrig, 2b Hornsby (24) or Scales, ss Arky, 3b Allen or Rolen or Mathews (at home), lf Musial or N Robinson or W Brown or Allen ( 5 e 18!), cf Edmonds or N Robinson or W Brown or even Musial, rf Lexcano, Dh Sosa or any loser from any other position battle. If I pick the best on base guys I end up with 635.1 chances (without bp effects), an average of 70.56 per player, with only Allen playing out of position at lf. The biggest shortcoming through 99 games has been lack of HR. Allen, Musial and Gehrig have been horrible. Any suggestions for player choices at home vs left and even lineups would be appreciated. Now I am leaning to 1 Scales 2b 2 Lexcano rf 3 Arky ss 4 Posey c 5 Sosa dh 6 Musial 1b 7 N Robinson lf 8 Allen 3b 9 Edmunds cf. Response?
