Why bring a RH pitcher in?




Floyd has only 1 hit vs. lefties.






Because Brocail has the sort of breaking pitch that is effective on lefties. Larry Andersen was the best righty I ever saw at shutting down lefty hitters. He had that nasty slider that would break towards their knees.

Lefties were hitting .283 against him. RH hitters only .171. It worked anyway.


Lefties .195 vs. Wright.
