i don't understand why it's a big deal if the cubs have three lefties in the rotation. teams have 4-5 righties in the rotation all the time and no one says anything about it. There are more right-handed hitters in most (all?) lineups than there are left-handed hitters. The NL hit .265/.340/.426 against LHP last year, and .264/.332/.428 against RHP. What matters is who is the better pitcher, not if you have too many LH, or not enough. Weird. I always assumed that with there being so many more right-handed hitters than lefties, that LH pitchers had a rougher time. I agree that you need the better pitchers in the lineup, regardless of whether they throw with their right arm, left arm, or if they kick the ball up there, but does that even need to be said? I can't imagine anyone disagreeing.
