Ok, not really, but has anyone else noticed the offense N.L. pitchers are bringing this season so far? Arroyo is swinging the bat like Junior, Mark Mulder is hitting as well as he pitches, Bannister of the mets had a couple of hits tonight, and the braves' pitchers have been hitting better than they have been pitching.
More emphasis that pitchers need to hold their own? Or are they just better athletes than say, a guy like John Kruk will ever admit?
