The teams slugging percentage with runners in scoring position is near the bottom of the league also. It is not all pitching.
When we get the pitching the bats are silent; when we get the hitting the pitchers are gas station attendants. We need to figure a way to get the two on the same page.
Maybe Leyland needs to turn his batting order upside down. Lead off with the number 9 hitter and let Granderson bat last?
