Beyond the numbers of Mench trying to hit a RHP, the bigger problem that I had during that game was the fact that Dempster hit a guy, walked in a run, and Ned left the free swinging Mench bat. Who promptly first pitch grounded out. PH someone who can work the count better sounds like a better option. I'm not saying that it would have won, or tied the game for us. But it would have put us in a better situation to get a positive outcome for the good guys.
