Ron Shandler Says: "Let's look at some possible reasons that Mussina is struggling in the early going. First, he's had the misfortune to face three of the top five offenses in the AL: BOS (3rd in R/G as of 4/25/2005), BAL (5th), and TOR (4th)." I kind of buy this, but it occurs to me that the potent offenses of the Orioles and Blue Jays have feasted on the depleted pitching of the Yankees and Red Sox. Mussina may improve when facing the less potent AL West teams, but then again they may get more bopperish facing the Yankees. The Devil Rays certainly did. The lesson: Be wary about sweeping statements based on sliced information. There is always another side.
