Tonight begins the first of a 9 game road trip and it appears we will face a boatload of LHPs.
Tonight: Mitchell Parker (1-1 3.48 ERA 4.07 FIP 1.1 bWAR)
Sunday: Mackenzie Gore (2-3 3.33 ERA 2.76 FIP 1.5 bWAR)
Monday: Cristopher Sanchez (4-1 2.89 ERA 3.51 FIP 1.4 bWAR)
Tuesday: Jesus Luzardo (3-0 2.11 ERA 2.32 FIP 2.1 bWAR leads the NL)
Sunday: Kris Bubic (4-2 1.69 ERA 2.69 FIP 1.9 bWAR leads the AL)
We are 2-6 vs LHP this season and 4-13 on the road. And we get to combine the two! So naturally we’ll probably go 5-0 vs LHP and 0-4 vs RHP this road trip.

Re: Lefty/Road Trouble to be Put to test
On paper looks hopeless.... lefties with great ERA's and 14-7 won loss record composite. I would settle for going 3-2 with this crew.... Fortunately, none of them are likely to go 9 innings.Futuregm2 wrote: ↑09 May 2025 14:29 pm Tonight begins the first of a 9 game road trip and it appears we will face a boatload of LHPs.

Did we send down Baker at the wrong time?

I was looking at that lefty problem the other day.
Oh well, at least we have Ivan back and hopefully he and WillyC crush them!
Re: Lefty/Road Trouble to be Put to test
Well wouldn’t you know it, we went 4- 1 vs the LHP

With Ragans instead of Bubic
