and if jenkins or someone would of drove in a run no one would be talking about the bench The bench wasn't the reason we lost today. I just think that today's game again highlighted the problems with our current bench composition. Only one left-handed hitter, and Magruder is not very good from that side of the dish, two right-handed hitting third-basemen, a right-handed hitting infielder, and a right-handed hitting catcher. And most importantly, just no real good hitters (maybe Cirillo, and maybe Helms against left-handers). We don't have a Ginter or a Clark or a Grieve or a Vander Wal, and that's problematic. And having only one outfielder really limits Yost's strategic flexibility. ~Bill
