Some very good points cksportsfan but I was not talking about walking runs in . I was talking about a decent pitchers that couldn't shut down a offence , I think there are far more good pitchers that keep you in the game than pitchers that control the game . I think there is a lot of pressure put on some pitcher because of poor hitting and poor defense. I know it's easier for a pitcher to perform when she knows she's got a defense behind her and her team can and will score some runs . You are right dominant pitching is the ticket but most teams don't have that.
