Why Don't the Cubs Hit Leftys Well?

[inari]

I've already put the game against Gorzelanny in the loss column, so we really need to win the others.

No lefty to toss BP, thats the problem!

I have to admit, I'm a tad bit worried this weekend with Pittsburgh trotting out three leftys against us.

 

I was curious, do all teams have trouble with lefty's because of the rarity of good left-handed pitching, or is this a Cubs thing? I mean, we should hit lefties well because of our predominant right-handed line-up. Someone suggested that it is because we don't take a lot of batting practice against lefties.

 

Ideas?

 

Cubs are 12-13 against lefties since June 1st, 5-2 since August 26th, they are hitting left handers and tomorrow they will mash this AAA starter again.
