If it was all about good hitters,you would have won it all last year.You don't have one dominant starter.Not one.I guarantee you that Contreras would shut your team down if he pitched against them right now.Any good pitcher can hold you to 2-4 runs,and his team can get 3-5 runs against your amalgam of mediocre pitchers.You have one star pitcher,and he is sore(doesn't pitch until the 9th too.)The Halos have done this many times,and you know it.Teams only need follow that recipe of bend don't break.If you had some really dominant starters,I would give you the title in a second,but it ain't there.Good hitters will score on your star Asian wormkilla.Mussina is sore,and not as dominant(although still your best chance to get a win from.)Johnson will get hit by many of these hitters.Trust me,the Halos can't hit good pitching.They scored enough to beat you 6 out of 10 this year,and take the playoffs from you last year.Trust me,that is proof your pitching can be had.When up against Chicago's pitching,they were unable to score.It should tell you about your pitching,but since you haven't caught on yet,I doubt you will get it.
